Barbie with crapping dog Why???just why?? the whole point of having a toy one is so that you don't need to do this? It's my daughters first Barbie request and i'm mortified.

"Barbie takes this kind of fun very seriously."

DangerousBeanz · 03/11/2014 21:09

That's what I said when My OH told me. There is also a pissing cat complete with litter tray.

Suppose it teaches children about the responsibilty of having often desired pets?

BlinkAndMiss · 03/11/2014 21:11

What a vile toy, if can even be classed as a toy. Very OTT.

meh. doesn't it introduce the responsiblity involved in having a pet? might put them off nagging you for a dog for a while!

DangerousBeanz · 03/11/2014 21:30

No it introduces the possibility of tiny plastic pellets of poo lost on the floor, blocking the vac and demands to be bought more poo cos she's lost it. I can't see any redeeming features in a toy that craps on the carpet.

I'm glad to see Barbie taking some responsibility. I always had her down as being a bit feckless.

WitchWay · 03/11/2014 21:44

That is awful Confused

gentlehoney · 03/11/2014 21:52

Nice to see Barbie in sturdy flat dog-walking shoes.

Oh. Hang on.... Hmm

TheBatteriesHaveRunOut · 03/11/2014 21:53

omg

Mattel are literally selling us shit.

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/11/2014 21:53

When you put it like that op...

I'd get her a different Barbie Grin

Failedspinster · 03/11/2014 21:55

No, I agree - its minging! That said, a lot of toys and games advertised on Milkshake in the mornings seem to be a bit minging. Personally the Gooey Louie ad gives me the dry boak.

whyhasmyheadgonenumb · 03/11/2014 22:01

My DD wants this too, it's £22 quid so unfortunately Father Christmas has run out.....

nicky2512 · 03/11/2014 22:03

Its not new. Barbie had a pooing dog years ago. DD (nearly 13) had one when she was little (bought by her Granny). She loved it!

nicky2512 · 03/11/2014 22:03

off to look for it!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 03/11/2014 22:05

Get a lammily instead, much healthier proportions than Barbie

www.lammily.com

DangerousBeanz · 03/11/2014 22:23

I think Lammily is much better, but I fear my daughter really wants the shitting dog.

Gooey Looey's 'brain' looks rather unfortunately like something Ann Summers sells.

DangerousBeanz · 03/11/2014 22:36

nicky2512 was it this one? Old Crapping Dog It's worth a fortune!!! I might get DD about 10 of the new ones as an investment.

I saw an ad for this in the morning. No way would I be buying that. Yuck.

LuckySaint · 03/11/2014 22:59

Ds1 (10) had the old crapping dog and Barbie. He loved it, it was quite funny.
I soon hoovered the poo pellets up though
