Broomstick

[Homicidalheathen]

Mattel recently introduced the "Harry Potter Broomstick". It's a battery-powered toy that resembles the flying Nimbus 2000 brooms from the Harry Potter movies. For added effect, the broom makes "flying noises" and vibrates.

After a while on the market, concerned parents noticed that mostly young girls seemed to enjoy the toy - especially the vibrating part...

Here are some of the customer reviews from the Toys R Us website:

This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, although it has no educational value I figured it would be good for imaginative play. It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized that the toy may offer a more than sensational experience. The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed.

My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick! A great buy for any Harry Potter fan!

I recently bought this for my son, Vantro. He's a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Seen the movie 32 times (in the theaters) and made the paper. This toy gives him the ability to fly around the house zapping things. My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast and his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.

When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children

Hehehehe!

I know I'm not a parent, but am I the only one who would much rather see a 12 year old girl "playing" with a vibrating broomstick than out having sex.

They forgot ONE thing-- an elastic band, to hold the money onto the garter.

Dood, that's just wrong. Was this actually marketed towards young girls??? No WONDER I was always playing mother hen for fresh-outta high school chicks at the clubs..

The retailer (Tesco) had them in the kids' toy section. When the inevitable uproar broke out a couple of years ago, they claimed it was supposed to have been placed in the party goods section.

Speaking of indecent toys..

What do y'all make of this?!

This is an actual Batman squirt gun, that came out in the 1960s. Notice the placement of the trigger, and the place where you put the water in..
