Grossest Toy of 1986?

Philip Reed April 28, 2015

MotU Day 3

Congratulations, Stinkor, for being singled out as one of the grossest toys of the 1986 holiday season. Reprinted in the November, 1986 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance is this Toy & Hobby World list of notable toys.

This reminds me that I should point to that Fast Company article from 2013 that explains just why Stinkor still stinks today. Mattel sure made playtime magic when they designed Stinkor!
