Road Kill Toys

Roadkill is a new designer toy boutique, creating original toy characters, however these are not your run of the mill plus toys, they are toys with a very dark twist, indeed, as dark as you can imagine. These toys have been run over, squashed, disembowelled - they are road kill. According to the designers, they are in a genre of toys uniquely their own - Squash-Plush.

This superb macabre range of collectibles begins with Twitch the Raccoon and what a beauty he is. He is superbly, if not grotesquely made, all the plush materials and stuffing used are made from 100% polyester fibres and hence are safe (for the body, but for the mind – I’m not so sure !). Twitch’s body is stuffed with a mixture of beads and stuffing, the beads give the Squash-plush teddy a bit of extra weight, so he can lie spread-eagled in his blood and gut-pool. The blood and guts and gore are made using the latest, cutting edge stuffing. It’s a special new micro-bead stuffing that gives the guts and organs a more malleable, tactile effect. But that’s not all, you can disembowel and re-embowel Twitch to your heart’s desire through the zips that line both sides of the teddy’s carcass. He also comes in his own body bag so he’s got somewhere nice to sleep ! (Okay, I not sure if a dead Raccoon sleeps, but is a nice place to store him anyway and its keeps his carcass clean.)

Twitch the Raccoon is not some little twee collectables, he measures some 15 inches from nose to tail, and 10 inches from outstretched paw to paw. In the middle he flattens out to 2 inches high with the blood and guts stuffed in, and 1 inch high with them out. He weighs about 350 grams. That’s a lot of plush toy for your buck.

He certainly makes a statement when on display. The various components of Twitch the Raccoon are impressively realistic, I especially like his bloodshot eye !

The teddy body-bag is made from an translucent plastic so you can see the gore inside. It has a white zipper down the middle. And it’s 14.5 inches long by 11 inches wide. With a bit of prodding and pounding, it just allows enough space for a run over raccoon with his guts hanging out.

This is one awesome plush toy. It is unique with nothing on the market even remotely like it. It is made to the highest quality and so dark, so bizarre and off the wall that it will shock your friends and offend fuzzy wuzzy toy lovers. At the same time it will be the pride of joy in any gothic and horror lover’s collection.
