Hopefully it's not our favorite line of moldable playdolls, The Plumbum Pals. We've got like almost the whole set.

@burgundyyears: Karma for using chi-coms for thier factories. Screw them maybe they will pull thier head out and actually have things made here.

More notably, however, was a large Mattel recall for magnetic toys that has just been announced as well - 9.3 million toys recalled.

Not a good day for Mattel.

@SockMonkey: I heard it was just the "Sarge" jeep.


No love lost in my house. My son primarily plays with Lego stuff.

Hmmm... they make the ever so popular Disney/Pixar Cars from the movie Cars. The article says that it's probably die-cast cars. Wonder if the "sensitivity of the situation" has anything to do with possibly Disney's name being tied to the recall? I hope that's not the case, because my 3 year old has just about the entire collection and loves them. I'd hate to have to take them all away from him.
