The three skeletons from hell

WS2

Today’s snapshot was taken at a friend’s shop. He told me these were very hot items in his shop. Many kids came to buy these toys. These toys are joined to a key chain and sold at Rm1.20 in his shop each.

Perhaps it shows the generation gap but I honestly do not see what is so cool about keeping figurines like these as toys. It seems to be a fad amongst school children. They are actually made of plastic although they look like metal. The kids attach it to their pencil cases, school bags, water containers etc… perhaps to look hip?

    Figurines. I love to collect them too when I was younger. In fact I would love to keep it. Hmm…I bought it because it was fun top play! Perhaps kids these days want it to flash among their friends? A symbol of wealth or popularity perhaps? =)

    Some big boys like them too. Just like how your bro from Melb likes the Star Wars figurines. :)

    Reminds me of those “Lucky Mummies” that were the fad 2 years ago. They are cute, though.
