Violence in Cartoons through Toys!

It's interesting to see the types of toys sold during the 1940s-1970s. Expecially those with our favorite cartoon stars. Today we live in an era where things like PVC figures are banned from being sold due to chocking hazards. Back then, cartoons were made and censors weren't really constantly worried about violence. These toys however are made to enforce your anger to toons. Kids I don't think could tell the difference. It's kind of hillarious and also kind of strange.




Most of us who need a work out go to a gym. These were sold a lot. If a bear tries to steal your picinic basket, just go home and let off the steam.

Here's a more modern version from the 1980s

This isn't violent it's just weird.

Here's the best one of all. This one is kind of gruesome (get it!). After Gazoo came along kids were really mad. There just darts though. But they are all trying to kill eachother.
