What Is It?
A weather-resistant PVC cartoon action figure that swirls around a car’s radio antenna when the vehicle is in motion, Scare “D” Cat comes with his own backstory. He’s just 5 years old, but he’s got 9 lifetimes of experience “lazin’ around, chasin’ bugs and sleepin’,” according to his official bio. But despite his love of speed, he’s just a regular kitty who cares not for Big Dawgs or — perish the thought — vacuum cleaners.
What We Thought
With his eyeballs hanging from his sockets and his tongue whipped behind him like Isadora Duncan’s scarf, Scare “D” Cat looks like he’s having the ride of his life. He’ll cheer up the dingiest of jalopies and lighten up the poshest luxury sedan with his good-old boy can-do and will-do attitude. While others keep on truckin’, he’ll keep on spinnin’. The coolest thing about Scare “D” and his friends, is that they can also be attached to backpacks, so when kids run, they’ll be part of a chase, too.
Why They’ll Want It
What’s the most boring place in the world for kids? Inside a moving car. But being able to watch Scare “D” do his daredevil spins as mom scoots down the highway will keep the juniors amused. Kids and teens will want this novelty toy to show the world that even when driving the same old box as everyone else, they still have some pizzazz. Scare “D” has his own Antenna Friend in Junkyard Dawg. There are also some more, um, risqué models (i.e., scantily clad female humans) for the bigger boys. — Alison Marek, 10/28/06
