Deadly toys from the 70s
There were some ugly toys in the 70s (remember Gonks?) but nothing was as bad as the Cabbage Patch Kid. I hated their Chucky like horribleness and am glad I didn't know this:



"My favourite dangerous toy was the Snacktime Cabbage Patch Kid. Looking to inject new life into the sagging sales of the toyline, a model was made that would move its mouth up and down and chew food you'd give it. Put a plastic carrot in it's mouth, and it'd munch it up.

The problem was, the CPKs had a particularly sick craving for little kid's hair. Once a long blonde lock got caught inside, the possessed devil-doll would start chewing and swallowing the hair like some zombie from Evil Dead 2, sometimes chewing all the way up to the scalp."


Aaaaaaaargh!
