Every day the list of crazy toys continues. Designer My Little Ponies, vibrating bunny rabbits, robotic chicks: we've documented them all. Today we've got something that rivals action figure Sarah Palin on the "Why in the world would you want that in your home?" scale: a designer toy of Hugh Hefner.
Yes, Kidrobot has created this 3" tall Hef, which will sell for $9.95, complete with "requisite red robe, ascot and bunny emblazoned sailor hat on the prowl for his next mate." Kidrobot, an awesome toy store with locations in NYC and here in San Fran, will also be selling a vinyl figure of Miss November 1978. Apparently her "thigh-high boots and Farrah Fawcett locks are a throwback to the good old days." Who knew?
While I adore Kidrobot -- there's one literally down the street from me in the Haight -- I'm not sure this is really in keeping with their traditional, frickin' adorable aesthetic. How do you go from the wonders of the Smorkin' Labbit to this? Also, I'm really not sure I'd want mini Hef hanging out in my living room. Who knows what he might get up to while I'm out?

I'm pretty sure this post caused me to have a dream about having a sleepover (like, pillowfights) with Hugh Hefner last night. I got to meet Kendra. For fuck's sake, subconscious, KENDRA?
