Parody Playskool toy box featuring a Stalin doll.

A parody product that applies the Tickle Me Elmo formula to one of history's most feared authoritarian leaders, executed with enough production detail to suggest genuine craft went into the joke. The doll's uniform is faithfully rendered down to the gold star medal, which may be the most effort ever spent making a Soviet dictator look cuddly. Playskool's branding appears at the bottom, presumably without their knowledge or blessing.

The gold-star medal rendered in felt is the detail that breaks me — full Playskool commitment to a bit that absolutely should not exist. 'Tickle my tummy!' is going to be rattling around my head all day.
