Step right up and peek inside the toilet bowl. Come on, don’t be shy. It’s riddled with cracks—one of them is even sealed up with two criss-crossed Band-Aids. Puddles of neon slime are seeping out. Watch out: It looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in so long, it may even be radioactive! And it’s your lucky day, because it’s also clogged! No, this isn’t a New York City public restroom (although it definitely could be confused for one)—it’s Flush Force, from Spin Master.
Hope you like toilet humor and gross toys because this potty-themed line includes all things bathroom, embracing this year’s new gross toy trend. There are grimy toilet bowls, potty wagons that haul around porta-potties, and the star of the show, the teeny tiny collectible creatures, called Flushies.
The Flush Force Filthy Five Pack Master Pack is the easiest way for kids to jump-start their own personal sewage collections. They come with a grimy toilet bowl and a handful of Flushies. The Master Packs are also available in a Number Two Pack or a Bizarre Bathroom Eight Pack. Each toilet bowl is clogged to the brim with a bunch of icky surprises, just like the restroom on my daily train commute.
Experience “flush-and-reveal” technology by filling the toilet’s tank with water and giving it a shake. Kids can peer into the bowl, if they dare, to see what murky color the water changes to. If the water turns green, there’s a rare Clogger inside! If it turns purple, it’s a super rare Unflushable! And if anyone finds either of these colors IRL in their own home toilets, someone should probably call a doctor.
Lift the lid to see what kind of gross Flushies are lurking beneath the water. Each Flushy collectible belongs to its own group and has a special finish—they might be squishy, fuzzy, floating, metallic, see through, or color-changing. Kids will get a kick out of the gross cast of characters.
There are Dump Divers, which include household trash like used tissues (meet Hot Snot) and spoiled milk (meet Curdie). Mean Munchies and Grimy Grubs are rancid food one might find in the back alley of their favorite fast food chain, such as Crunch Supreme, the molten green taco, or Dump Stick and Drum Sick, the chicken legs that are so past their prime, they’ve sprouted eyeballs. The Mean Greens Flushies are flower shop rejects so rotten they may be left over from last year’s Valentine’s Day, including Putrid Petal, Funky McFungus, and Venus Eye Snap. Clean Freaks sound like they could be a promising bunch, but upon further inspection, it looks like they’ve been festering in the drain at the dentist after one too many root canals (meet Tooth Waste, Sour Suds, and Plaque Attack, to name a few). And then there are Putrid Parts, literal body parts that might be wasting away inside the ER’s hazardous waste bin, such as Pink Eye and Brain Drain.
Other Flushy categories include Squirmin Vermin (creepy-crawly insects), Foal Floaters (contaminated sea creatures), Street Freaks (a special breed of city trash), Gruesome Twosomes (rubbish so nasty, it morphed into Siamese twins), and Skuzzy Fuzzies (rabid animals that remind me of the crazed family of raccoons that used to ravage my garbage cans).
Much like real life, half the fun is the surprise of what kids are going to find inside the toilet! There are 150 Flushies in series one so kids can grow their collections for post-flush play.
Flush Force is designed for kids ages 4 and up, right around that time when the precious little ones graduate from blowing raspberries to armpit farts. Perfect timing, because what’s a toilet without a few farts to back it up?
Doody calls, and when you gotta go, you gotta go!
