Here on the Rad Blog we are quite fond of discovering unusual and fucked up plush toys, and this one is no exception: the Hello Kitty Sushi Plush! So twisted, and yet so adorable. Just look at that little Hello Kitty head attached to the tiny plush piece of fake sushi. I could squeal. This near crime against nature comes in three styles and, according to the packaging, can be purchased from Toys R Us stores for just $7.99. What a bargain!
Thanks to Hello Kitty Hell for the tip!
Hey it’s good to be back at the blog, and to kick off my return here’s a rad Pink Thing of the Day: the Pink Flocked Skull for Girls! You have to admit, this universal symbol of human mortality is a lot more palatable in pink. Each 6″ tall, hollow plastic skull is completely covered with a pretty shade of velvety pink flocking. Hinged jaw allows you to pose it with an open or closed mouth. Isn’t it adorable? List Price: $16.95 from Archie McPhee.
Thanks to Lisa at Skulls & Bacon for the tip!

I’m a huge fan of Flight of The Conchords (even if season two really wasn’t very funny), and I know that if these prototype sketches for Flight of the Conchords plush dolls were to actually exist, I would probably have to buy them. If you feel similarly passionate about such things, please write to Alana at Rotten Dollies over in New Zealand and ask her to please make a few.
Thanks To Plastic and Plush for the tip!

My friend, and former editor at the late, great Pandemonium Online, Dave Liljengren turned me on to this Pink Lionel Train found on the (no longer active) Monkey Goggles Blog. Click Here to read an interesting story about how this train has earned the dubious honor of being “The Least Successful Toy In The World.” Thanks, Dave!
