Hey, kid, your toys are neurotic.
8th September 2010
Toymaker Martin Kittsteiner is hoping children will go potty for his new invention – a family of soft toys who all have psychiatric illnesses. The toys – suffering from everything from bipolar disorder to acute depression – come with their own medical history, a referral letter and a treatment plan. Patients include Dub the turtle with severe depression, Sly the snake who suffers from terrifying hallucinations, Dolly the sheep with a personality disorder and a crocodile which has a irrational terror of water. Martin sells the dolls for £25 each from his website www.parapluesch.de.
