Toys bring joy to a lot of children. But sometimes we try to save a few bucks and get non-name brand toys. And the results could be hilariously disastrous.
Sometimes we do buy brand name and it still doesn’t work out so well. Some toy designers have failed pretty hard in their toy making endeavors. Their designs end up coming out miscolored or looking quite suggestive.
Some toymakers seem to be pretty clueless when it comes to some of their designs. It’s a wonder how their toys made it on store shelves. But somehow, they did.
Here are 65 toy design fails that are so bad you have to laugh them off:
1) Monkey’s Banana
The placement of this monkey’s banana is a little suggestive. And I don’t like the way he’s holding it. And I don’t like the way he’s smiling while he’s holding said suggestive banana.
2) Cactus in a Cactus
This is a design win if you ask me. It’s hilarious. A dog destroyed this happy cactus. The sad cactus was found inside.
3) Finger Squirter
Even the name “finger squirter” is off-putting. But why the two fingers? At least make them straight.
4) Head Horse
At first glance this seems like a pretty horse. But that changes when you open it up. That’s when you realize it’s a homicidal head chopping off horse. Who hides his victim’s heads in his belly.
5) Olaf Snow Cone Maker
I used to have a Snoopy snow cone maker like this and I loved it. But this Olaf design is a bit much. I don’t want to eat intestinal snow.
6) Kid’s Balloon
This is a children’s balloon. You’d think that they would have been more careful about where they put the blow up spout. It’s dangling right in the middle.
7) Who’s Cart?
This is supposed to be Mario’s cart from the video game “Mario Kart.” There’s just one problem. That’s a “W” instead of an “M.”
8) High AF
This dinosaur looks high AF. I don’t know what this thing has been smoking. But I want some.
9) Teenage Mutant Ninja Nightmare
This is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. But it doesn’t look like one. It has a nightmare face.
10) Over It
The outer nesting doll has a beautiful face and intricate design. But it looks like this artist just got bored as they went along. Eventually they were just over it.
11) Saving Space
Were they trying to save space in this package? Why else would they have a bull humping a zebra? With the lion about to join them.
12) Duck Monster
What is this supposed to be? It can’t be a duck. A duck does not have four legs.
13) Animal on Animal
This is a children’s developmental toy. For some reason they snap together like this. For some reason…
14) Cinderella’s Nose Job
Cinderella got a tough break in this puzzle. The outline of this puzzle piece is not flattering. It looks like she got a bad nose job. Or that this is what her old nose looked like.
15) Austrian Kangaroos
It took me a minute to figure out what was wrong here. Then I realized that this says Austria. It should say Australia.
16) Batman’s Hot Rod
Check out Batman’s hot rod. Yeah… but it isn’t. It’s the Flash’s ride.
17) Buzz’s Lightyear
This, no… just no. The look on his face isn’t making this any better. How was this actually sold as a something for children?
18) Circle Game
Why are these children’s toys playing the circle game. It’s not a very kid friendly game. There’s a lot of punching involved.
19) Tinkerbell’s Rough Night
It looks like Tinkerbell had a rough night. A rough night of partying. And she’s still wearing last night’s makeup which is all smeared.
20) Scary Bear
At first glance this seems like a perfectly adorable teddy bear. But when you take off his sweater it gets a little scary. This bear is all leg and no body.
21) Fake Elsa
This is definitely a fake Elsa doll. That or it’s Elsa before her nose job. It’s probably a knockoff though.
22) Party Belle
Belle is having way too much fun. She looks drunk out of her mind. She’s running around topless and shit.
23) Massive Dome
That is one giant head. The face looks a lot like Emma Watson. But that head is way too big. It looks so awkward.
24) Red Guy
Check it out it’s Red Guy! You know that crime fighting red.. guy. And his blue bike.
25) Shhhhhh
This toy display looks like Elmo’s trying to silence this little boy. But it wasn’t actually designed like that. It’s supposed to look like Elmo is hugging the little boy.
26) Spider-Man Panty Line
Anyone want to ride Spider-Man? Seems like a perfectly normal ride. Until you notice that Spider man has panty lines. His body does look very feminine. Like the mold he was made from was a woman’s body and they just painted it to look like Spider-Man.
27) “I Am A Sweet Baby”
Not only is this an ugly baby, but it looks mean too. But it insists that it’s sweet. And that you’ll have fun together. I wouldn’t bet on it.
28) Bodyless Baby
This toy looks like you’ll be able to take the baby out and play with it. That’s not the case. Baby has no body.
29) Minnie Nightlight
This Minnie Mouse nightlight is to help children who are afraid the dark. But it might make things worse. Minnie looks kind of scary at night.
30) Interesting Toy
This is an interesting toy. So interesting that it looks like a penis. A penis with a hat on.
31) Kinky Playtime
This looks like one kinky playset. First you have the prince giving it to the horse. Then you have the horse and the princess canoodling. Plus the horse is blindfolded.
32) Sneaky Dinosaur
This is sneaky dinosaur. Or at least that’s what the little boy who owns this dinosaur calls him. He definitely looks like he’s up to something.
33) Inflatable Horse
This game store got some inflatable horses. They are strong enough for kids to ride. But this is how you blow them up.
34) Nightmare Bear
This is just so scary. He looks insane. This is what nightmares are made of.
35) Hitler Bunny
These just look like cute bunnies at first glance. But then you get a closer look at the one on the right. She kinda looks like Hilter.
36) Crooked Eye
This lion got a crooked eye. Well, a backwards eye. How did this make it onto the shelf?
37) Blowing Bubbles
These are really cool bubble wands. But the girl’s one kind of reminds me of something. Not sure why they chose to put their hearts upsidedown.
38) Queen of Hearts
This is an Alice in Wonderland card deck. So you’d think the Queen of Hearts would be the Queen of Hearts card. She’s not. She’s the Three of Clubs.
39) Batman Rangers
These are supposed to be the Power Rangers in Space. As is shown on the packaging. But inside the packaging is a bunch of green Batmans with red capes.
40) Paw Concentration Camp
Wowwwwww, just wow. Someone really screwed up on this one. Terrible choice of words.
41) The Simpsonsns
I could have gotten past the fact that these Simpson characters weren’t drawn to scale. And the fact that their faces look weird. But the fact that it says “one family is very happy” AND they’re called “The Simpsonsns,” that’s just too much. I don’t buy it.
42) Realistic Horse
This is very realistic looking horse. Maybe too realistic. Is all that really necessary?
43) Sleepy Plushies
Are these animals OK? They look really sad. And really sleepy.
44) Spider-Man’s Dong
Did someone not blow this up to see the final product before selling this? They could have at least left the blow up flap a different color. It probably wouldn’t look as bad that way.
45) Christmas Poop
This clearly is a poop emoji. But they’re trying to pass it off as a Christmas tree. Still looks like poop to me.
46) Super-Deformed
This toy packaging isn’t even going to try. They know they’re toys suckk and don’t look like the real thing. So they just call them super-deformed.
47) Santa’s Workshop
This is a display of Santa’s workshop. Where the elves make the toys. They made this horrifying human teddy toy. This is actually in a display at a shopping center.
48) Who Am I?
This plane is having an identity crisis. It’s not sure what it is. Is it a plane or a helicoper?
49) Stingy Paint
This manufacturer got real stingy with the paint on this ball. It doesn’t even fill up the space it’s supposed to. And it’s not even centered.
50) Real Life Expressions
This doll has real life expression. But you’d probably only see this kind of expression in a hospital. Because this doll does not look OK.
51) Paw Patrol
This is a Paw Patrol Talking Skye plush doll. This is her bottom. Apparently they felt that pink was a better color for the lining than the color used for the outside. They were wrong.
52) The Mouse Nose King
This is The Mouse King. As a nutcracker. But why does he have so many noses?
53) Pikawho?
This is supposed to be Pikachu. But his tail is on his head. And his ears are on his bum.

54) Batman Squirt Gun
This is a classic Batman squirt gun. First of all, he has a butt plug where you put the water in. And the trigger is ill placed.
55) Double Eyes
This toy has double eyes. Their first set fell off and these smaller ones were behind them. I kind of like the second set better.
56) Harry Potter
Did Harry Potter sneak into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. He looks like he ate some of that meal gun Violet Beauregarde had. The blueness has yet to reach his hands yet.
57) Wise Puppet
When did Yoda grow a goatee? Maybe when he joined the Stars Warsiors. Just remember, galaxies are far, far away.
58) Police Handcuffs
These are toy police handcuffs. Because cops want to make sure your wrists are nice and cozy. That’s why they’re covered with pink fur.
59) Poppy Bounce Ball
The left is what this ball was supposed to look like. The right shows what it actually looks like. Someone put that ball out of its misery.
60) Baby Toys
These are supposed to be baby toys. But that seems silly. Isn’t it a little early to be teaching babies about the birds and the bees?
61) Is That You Spongebob?
This is one of thoes toys for kids to ride around on at the mall. But why does this one look like Spongebob? I do not like him with a round head.
62) Wonder Woman Scissor
This was just a bad idea. I don’t know if there was any way to make this a good idea. Wonder Woman should not be put on scissors.
63) Girls Water Bottles
These are water bottles for children. Not sure why there has to be a hear bottom on them. How did designers not realize this was a bad idea?
64) Pretty Baby
I think these people might be confused about what the word pretty means. Because this doll is pretty scary looking. Why are they making their baby wear a wig? Or why did they bleach their baby’s hair?
65) Tarantula
Animal Planet is supposed to teach kids facts. Then why are they trying to pass off a beetle as a tarantula? This is so bootleg.
