There’s something organically satisfying about throwing things against a wall, especially when they explode, shatter, or splat. Bouncing means too much work because you’ve got to catch the blasted thing on the rebound, so that’s not much fun.
But squishing and splatting does it best for me. With this nifty little pocket toy you can launch the Monster’s head–the splattee–with the cool skeleton arm–the splatterer. Notice on the bottom right of the card the words “Includes Splat and Launcher.” That’s important because without the skeleton arm to send your splat to the wall, it’s just not as much fun.
I just wished they didn’t make the little guy so cheerful-looking. Makes me feel guilty I’m about to squish him against a smooth, flat surface, face first. Better that he had a mean-looking or scary face, you know, like they do it in horror movies by making the victim sort of deserve what’s coming, even though it’s nasty as hell.
Now, I’m not sure how you’d carry this gem around with you: if you put the little head in your jeans pocket, well, I’d say you will wind up with an embarrassing situation to say the least.
