DBZ and Pokemon Make Violent Toys List

The Lion & Lamb Project released its “Dirty Dozen List” of most violent toys and denounced the sales techniques used by the toy industry and entertainment companies to market these toys directly to young children. “The dirty little secret is out,” The Lion & Lamb Project executive director Daphne White told a news conference audience. “Entertainment companies are marketing violence directly to kids and the toy industry is sending the message to children that violence is fun and violence is child play.” This year’s list is:

Bone Crunchin’ Buddies (Jakks Pacific)
Metal Gear Solid, Revolver Ocelot (McFarlane Toys)
Turok Primagen, Omniversal Annihilator (Playmates)

Laser Challenge, Gotcha Extreme! (Toymax)
Nerf Wildfire (Hasbro)
