Worst Toy List: Incredible Hulk Gamma Green Fists Pack a Punch

December 4th, 2012. By AbiK

Here’s one that made the Worst Toy List published by consumer watchdog World Against Toys Causing Harm (WATCH): Marvel Avengers Gamma Green Smash Fists.

What possibly could go wrong with these?

The description of them over at KMart.com says the following:

“When you put these green hands of power on your own hands, it will be that much easier to imagine yourself smashing everything that gets in your way!”

Sounds like what every 7-year old boy needs to find under the tree Christmas morning—a potentially dangerous toy!

According to WATCH, the issue with these is that there is the potential for “blunt impact injuries” (really?) and, the watchdog group states there are no warnings on the product. Maybe the folks at Marvel thought the image shown here—which is from their website—is enough of a warning: yes, ginormous green fists coming straight at you, or some object, could inflict harm.

Warnings or not, get a group of 10 & under kids together with a pair of these and it’s almost guaranteed there’ll be some “blunt impact” going on—or at least some damaged drywall or knocked over lamps. Not to mention the phone calls mom will receive after the play date from the other kid’s moms.

Hasbro manufacturers them, and they’re available at stores like KMart, Target, Kohl’s and Wal-Mart for about $19.99.
