Among the anticipated products at the February American International Toy Fair in New York City (according to the New York Post) were:
a gun that shoots boogers,
a squeezable doll that smells like rotten eggs,
a flea (based on a pro wrestling character) that emits rank body odors after warning "I'm gonna blow,"
and a dissectible brain that oozes slime.
Also at the show, St. Petersburg, Fla., inventor Tim Engler was pushing his pump-operated, heavy squirt-gun artillery that mounts on bicycles.
Not at the fair, but currently a hot Internet pass-around ad is a color poster for Japan's Kaba-Kick, a pink toy gun shaped like a hippo that appears designed for children to play Russian roulette, but with the loser merely kicked in the head by the hippo. The Kaba-Kick was discontinued by Takura Toys in 1992, but its ad apparently lives on.
