The Dapsy Dino Family. They are one series of collectible figurines out of… too many. They were at one point found inside little plastic eggs which could be purchased in many countries besides this one. And I guess people bought them.
While I pointed out in the past that a certain pair of crocs were most certainly not cool, it is only fair to mention that their honorable ancestor Dribbelino was also not cool. Or at least not as much as any of the
CHiNESE-BEAVER. You may know them better as
les de CHiNEE-CHiN. I must give special recognition to SAM URAI, bridging cultural stereotype boundaries by naming himself after one of the outdated things westerners habitually associate with Japan instead. What we learn here is that it’s not insensitive to depict Asian people as having ridiculous over-bites if you imagine them as animals which look like that anyway. It might also help to choose one that’s known to inhabit parts of Asia, but I may just be misinformed in my belief that these aren’t. For some reason I’m hesitant to investigate any of the results for my “asian beaver” google search. But anyway.
There’s simply no comparison to be made.
As for why Dribbelino is spinning volleyballs, traditionally neither subjects of dribbling nor spinning upon limited surfaces in attempts to impress onlookers, that is yet a mystery.
By the roy, DAPSY DINOS should not be confused with
DROLLY DINOS, who don’t delude themselves into thinking they know how to dress properly.
Huh? Hweh? What’s that? Ah, you are observant.
FANNY FITNESS is indeed connected to an apparatus called LADY SHAKER. I’m glad you noticed.
Getting back to my original point, I think the croc’s problem was that they misrepresented themselves. While throughout time evidence has proven that crocs cannot be cool, they can be CRAZY.
Ever in denial, the CRAZY CROCOS tried to convince me that I’m the crazy one, that it’s somehow my problem, that oh no, that’s just the way things are in the city, for
CITY CROCOS. Sure, pal. Everyone knows CONNY CRAZY is not named LISA RAP. That would be stupid. Obviously I wasn’t having that so I sent them promptly back to
KROKOSCHULE to learn better manners.
I’ve made a couple jokes at the expense of the characters’ names, but no one can touch
CROCOCROK. Why would you want to?
Next week: SQUALIBABA meets a whale on a toilet. Or probably not.

Sorry, the comment form is apologizing at this time.

Sie sind aber alle HANDBEMALT. Ist das nicht ÜBERRASCHEND?
Eeplivopu sez:
The biggest surprise I got was when somebody gave me an actual KINDER SURPRISE egg and I bit into the chocolate part not expecting it was just a hollow shell with another plastic shell inside. And the actual object within wasn’t half as nice as any exhibited here. Not because my teeth had almost chopped it in half, either.
The Okay Vizier sez:
If memory does not fail me (and it usually does), KINDER SURPRISE eggs are not particularly large, and thus the above-depicted figurines must be SURPRISINGLY small in order to fit inside.
Actually, until this update, I did not even occur to me that such confections contained any sort of object at all, the “SURPRISE” presumably referring to a SURPRISINGLY good taste. After all, the chocolate-covered wafer bars of the same brand didn’t contain anything, with the obvious exception of a wafer.
Eeplivopu sez:
From what little candy I tasted, I didn’t discern anything especially pleasant that could be sold on its own merit in larger quantities. Maybe it was just tired from traveling so far. It may just as likely turn out that the chocolate is more palatable when not closely involved with plastic.
The inner eggs are quite small. I am waiting to investigate this aspect in more depth until my willingness to do so shows up.
Yamamanama sez:
Does Chin mean beaver in French?
Eeplivopu sez:
No, castor does. I presume it does in other languages, as well, because the most common name is “Castorcin.” I can’t come up with an excuse for “Chinee Chin.” I doubt the French branch of Kinderco can, either.

I suspect that you are trying to tell me something about a titanium tube.
