The Mutant Toys are unlucky mutilated toys who live their unhappy lives in the darkest corners of Sid's room. They were built by Sid from mixed pieces of several toys, both his and Hannah's (hence the baby doll's parts). Gift this Plush Mickey available in attractive colors and costumes. Soft, huggable and can be bent in the way the kids want to. Cute white teddys kissing and holding each other with a red heart .
The toys are designed to be inexpensive so that a child could purchase them. Warner began with nine Beanie Babies (a dog, a platypus, a moose, a bear, a dolphin, a frog, a lobster, a whale, and a pig). The toys were not an instant success. It was only after the first eleven Beanie Babies were retired in 1996 that they became a collector's item. -- An estimated 100 million Beanie Babies are sold in 1996 alone.
The first BB gun is created. Made for children, it scared many parents because it is actually a working gun that can cause injury. The BB gun was a descendant of the cap gun, which was invented soon after the Civil War, when some shotgun manufacturers converted their factories to make toys. Penny pistols and other authentic-looking toy guns also began to appear in the 1880s.
The advent of the Industrial Revolution changed both the character of toys and the ability of workers to manufacture them in larger quantities. Native materials such as wood, straw and stone were rapidly displaced by iron and tinplate. Children were able to acquire manufactured toys at reasonable prices instead of having to make their own, a trend that accelerated as both factory production and distribution systems expanded. Toys also became more and more sophisticated. By the end of the 19th century, construction toys were appearing. The early twentieth century saw great popularity for electric trains and other powered mechanical toys.
