Squeeze this squishy version of the eight-legged tardigrade, aks moss piglet, aka water bear, and it takes up to (9) seconds to slowly morph back into shape while you feel your stress disappear like the cashews in a bowl of mixed nuts. Measures 4-1/2” long in green with the squeezability of a marshmallow. You probably don’t even know you need it, but you’ll know you needed it once you start squeezing it.

This goldenesque rubber chicken can talk! Actually, squawk. Known as the Shrilling Chicken, it’s 11” long, in chicken-skin goldish color, complete with goose bumps, a squish me tag and don't forget the gaping mouth. Squeeze it for hours of humorous, attention-grabbing squawks. Work it into your stand-up routine or sneak it into parties. You’re hilarious!

Our cute little plushy bear is white with a black leather-ish aviator jacket and hat, plus black-rimmed goggles. Take away the white scarf and the outfit might also pass for “biker.” Soft and squeezable either way. Each measures approx 6-1/2" x 6" x 4-1/2" in the seated position.

That's what our uncle Ned called his, so don't write in about contradictory terms. This is a particularly nicely detailed domesticated male pig, in pink polyresin with embossed hair and a pleasant, if non-committal, look on his face. Also, anatomically correct. Measures approx 3-1/2” snout to curly tail x 2” tall at the pig withers. What will you do with it? Hey, that’s not for us to say. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Maybe. Could also be a stegosaurus, triceratops or something else--that’s part of the fun of paleontological parenthood. Just submerge the 4-1/2” tall ersatz dinosaur egg into cool water and wait 48-72 hours while it cracks like a real egg and the baby dino grows to a be a foot long. If your mother won’t let you skip your bath for a few days (they’re like that, mothers, no scientific discipline), just use any container bigger than a 12” dinosaur.

Who wouldn’t love a green avocado plush toy? Scrooge? Schleprock? Debbie Downer? They’re probably the only three, because the rest of us wouldn’t be able to resist this approx 15” x 10” x 5” two-tone-green avocado half with a beige pit for a face, brown eyes and a very happy red smile. There’s a little brown stem on top, too, and a hanging loop. Way softer than an actual avocado.

These gray plastic gargoyles, in creepily authentic detail, are great for cathedral models and graveyard dioramas as long as they’re miniature. Figurines measure about 1” tall. You’ll get (4) of them in an attractive 4” x 3” x 1-1/4” box with a flip-open top and a display window. Great for anyone who wants to add a little goth to a home or office. 

A bunch of seagulls is a flock, but a bunch of crows is a murder. Hey, we don’t come up with this stuff—blame the ornithologists. If you’re into black crows, and want a murder of them, these rubbery plastic figurines are nicely detailed, and approx 2” x 1” each, in different poses. You’ll get (4) in a handsome 3-1/2” x 2-1/2” x 1-1/2” box with a nest in it. Black crows only—no flocks of seagulls, eagles or yardbirds.

It’s a short row, granted, but a row is a row. These are lesser rubber duckies, just like their larger cousins in the bathtub, but at a cute 2” x 2”. Think shower ducks—small enough to tuck in the soap dish. They come in packs of (3) in assorted colors, and we’ll pick so you don’t have to.

Penguins on parade. Our each is a set of (6) nesting penguin dolls, matryoshka style, that, when lined up on your mantel, desk or fridge, say Antarctic whimsy lives here. Nest them back together when you're over-whimsied. Daddy penguin is 4-1/2” tall and the baby is 1-3/8” and yes, it's a family—you can tell by their eyebrows. All are wearing the traditional tuxedos with the equally traditional orange beaks and feet. Ages 4+.
