I'm not sure what kind of childhood you want your kids to have, but I don't think that these Franken Toys will provide the best-case scenario. Instead, they are definitely for the young-at-heart adult with a twisted sense of humor.
Created by Rachel Peters, these Franken Toys reference all childhood references from McDonalds to Care Bears and Barbie. These were once discarded playthings that have been rescued and given new life, just like Frankenstein's monster creation.
