Amazon Product Page.  Make sure you check out the user reviews. 





What do you guys think?  A practical reflection of the times in which we live, or a tool of the authoritarian police state? 

It should be pointed out that Playmobil is, in fact, a German company, though the toys are popular and widely available in the US.

Stuff like that reminds me that what is an affront to our generation will be business as usual for the next.

Whadda ya mean people haven't always tried to stuff bombs in their shoes?

That said, it's just a toy...

The reviews are genius.

The toy itself has me looking carefully at the URL to make sure it's not some kind of spoof. It would be perfect in The Onion.

While I don't think Playmobil is in cahoots with Big Brother, I'm pretty sure the heat just picked up a couple degrees on the pot of water our Frog of Liberty is in.

Unfortunately, it seems like Playmobil isn't making this anymore. But when i checked , someone was selling one one eBay for really cheap, obviously not realizing he possessed an important piece of Internet folklore. I was sorely tempted to buy it.
