Unicode Consortium: okay i'll do that

Everyone: *using emojis*
Random Company: hey we wanna cash in on the emoji trend what sort of emoji should we use
Random Investors: Use U+1F4A9 and U+1F984 that'll be really popular with the kids!!!
*few days later*
Random Company: Now selling unicorn poop pillow!!! $9.95 at Walmart!!!!!!!

I despise them. They're all creepy collectibles or robotic animals with even worse commercials.

LEGO and regular plushes are still good, though.

Is this what heaven looks like?!
I've been hoping this would be a thread…(toys solely made for trying to be ‘cool’)

I used to collect these little minecraft figures. I even got this stop motion movie making set for them one year on Christmas.

Seeing toy commercials makes me loose hope in humanity. Especially Girl Toys. The music, the sappy voice-over, and the deign of the toys themselves makes me cringe.

Yes. Baby Wow is a good example of cutesy voices in stereotypical girls' toys. There are links below to each doll's commercial:
Charlie
Emma
Meghan
All 3

Note how the babies are sickly cute, have an annoying theme song and are presented by a girl who says “wow!” in a cutesy voice.
Also note how each baby is more intelligent than the previous.

I'm somehow reminded of Yo-kai Watch but that's a c t u a l l y r e a l l y g o o d so it may not count…

I've had several theme songs stuck in my head…and I never like it.
