Plague 4: The plague of animal mask

This mask is supposed to remind us of the plague of wild beasts that came into Egyptian homes.   I reckon, this was kinda like Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom without Marlon Perkins.   I reject this toy.   The mask was too small (like it was made for a kid!) and didn't remind me at all of Wild Kingdom.   It reminded me more of these strange German films that I saw a couple of years ago.   But that's another story...

Plague 5: Cow

There is usually, one standout item in any toy set.   This is it.   (Nancy wanted me to let you know that this toy symbolizes a plague on cattle-kinda like mad-cow disease.)   Before I continue, roll your mouse over the picture above to see the fun action that this plague has.   I could play with this cow for hours.   Of course, you don't have the cow.   You can only play with the graphic (insert evil laughter).

I don't really think that there's anything more that I can say about this one.   It totally rocks!   C'mon man, there are bulging eyes and everything.

Plague 6: Green Sticky Hand

Believe it or not, this toy signifies the plague of boils.   To make boils fun for kids would probably stop most religious toy manufacturers in their track.   Not so for Judaica Express.   They have decided that one of those sticky hands would be fun.   For authenticity, there are three white bumps on the palm of the hand.   Hrm...I am kind of torn on this one.   On one hand (heh), you have to give them credit for coming up with this, but on the other hand (heh again) it's really a stretch (heh yet again... wow, sometimes I can crack myself up!).   Okay, done laughing, and I decided that this one is rejected.   Thumbs down (heh).

Plague 7: White Styrofoam Balls

I don't remember hail being one of the plagues, but I am a bit of a expert on this topic.   You see, a couple of weeks ago God decided that Dallas needed a little plague action and decided that hail would be the best option for this.   So we had a pretty nasty hail storm, and my car has more pocks than Edward James Olmos' face.   I have to reject this, because styrofoam is not a toy.   It wasn't a toy when I got that big styrofoam glider when I was a kid (an aside... the repair kit was a roll of scotch tape... really), and it's not a toy now.   Besides, I'm still having bad dreams about the hail... this "toy" version isn't really going to help my therapy bills.
