Best worst toy - King Alligator

So I bought a toy for my nephew today. Taena and I have been obsessing over it since we first saw it a few weeks back at the world famous Hot Price Variety Store on Sydney Road. It was a good excuse to buy it. The toy is called "King Alligator". It takes batteries. But I'm not sure what it "does" yet. According to the box it "may sway side to side" and "leg may move". King Alligator is essentially a giant alligator with glowing red eyes... and A SMALLER ALLIGATOR WITH A GOLDEN BALL IN ITS MOUTH RIDING ON TOP OF THE BIG ONE. Everything about this toy is amazing. From the repetitive photoshopped use of an open mouthed alligator to the confusing claims of "overlord rocking". Why does it say "VS" on the back? What is "universal drive"? What flipping genius made this?! But most importantly, WHY IS THERE A SMALL ALLIGATOR WITH A GOLDEN BALL IN ITS MOUTH ON TOP OF A BIG ALLIGATOR? Enjoy (and please click for a larger view to fully absorb the rubbish experience)...


UPDATE! I filmed a video of the maniac alligator toy in action. It went beyond expectations. To turn it on, it had to be switched to "off". As soon as it was on, the wheels started whirring wildly and a horrible song was pumped out (inaudible most of the time) of its tiny speakers. It's the most hyperactive toy ever. Check it out:
