Toys these days… Collectible Battling Mice and Pokemon.

Seriously... WTF

Kids toys are always pretty weird, but this commercial for a new toy kinda blew my mind. It’s obviously trying to play off the hype and addictive nation of children by making them appear to have tons of variety, you know, the “collect ‘em all” mentality. But…. It’s freaking toy hamsters with wheels that wear armor. Yup. Literally, toy car hamsters decked out in armor that are pit against each other in an apparently epic battle.

Really, words do it no justice. Take a peek.

But then of course, it does make me happy to see that the king of collectibles still reigns supreme in many-a-child’s hearts. This kid takes his Pokemon seriously, as this video shows him playing on 3 separate games at once to attempt to find a rare Pokemon. When he does, well, he probably soiled himself to say the least. The fun starts at about 35 seconds. Check it.

“I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS.” – I really thought he was near a stroke at this point, classic.

Well, that’s your Sunday video childhood supplement. Have a good one!
