25. Rubber Band Gun

Happy birthday kid — here's a gun, and while we're at it, here's your glass eye! With the potential for ocular injury associated with this toy, couldn't they have just called it The Lil' Cyclops Starter Kit?
24. Shirtless Sunburned Construction Worker Figure

The question is, is this a construction worker who just got hot, or is this a guy who spent too much time waiting on line for Village People reunion show tickets? I think the mustache says it all.
23. The Super Soaker Oozinator

A squirt gun that ejects ooze. Okay, that's gross and the mess potential could be fatal to your upholstery, but what's the big problem? Watch this commercial and you tell me.
22. EZ Bake Oven

Oh man, did I want one of these bad when I was a kid. I also really wanted diabetes, which this would have given me, too. You mean I can eat half-cooked brownie dough all day and call it "play?" Yes, please.
21. PRO Thumb Wrestling Playset

Hey kids! Check out this Pro Thumb Wrestling Playset. All you do is add thumbs. Or you could just thumb wrestle without binding yourself in this sadist's sharp plastic prison.
