Toy designers are the unsung heroes of wild imaginations. Seriously, they’ve got to tune into the wavelength of a kid’s imagination, which is no easy feat. They’re like the mad scientists of playtime, tinkering away at toy designs to see what sticks. It’s a whole lot of trial and error, and sometimes, it tips the scales towards error. But, that’s where the fun begins.
Ready for a good chuckle? Check out these hilariously epic toy design fails we’ve rounded up in the gallery below. Sure, they might not be the ideal playthings for your little ones, but they’re guaranteed to give you a laugh or two. From the “What were they thinking?” to the “Oops, that didn’t turn out right,” these toy design fails are a testament to creativity gone hilariously off course.
