Imagine, for a moment, you're six years old. You spend a considerable amount of time leafing through those old Kenner Action Toy Guides, and you see something really cool. Fast forward almost 20 years, and you remember a few things: this thing you saw was orange, and it had large teeth....And that's about it.
So now you're becoming an accomplished toy collector, and in your hours of wasted time (I mean...research) you stumble upon that thing you saw. Your eyes can hardly believe it, because at this point you weren't even sure if this memory was real. And yet, here it is. After close to 20 years, you've found Terrible Teeth.
That's the sad story of my life. At the time, it seemed like quite the accomplishment.
He doesn't do much; one pushes down on his tail and his mouth opens. Closing the mouth with all of those rubber teeth is not easy either. The RGB figures don't really fit in Terrible Teeth's mouth. The plastic is cheap and the detail isn't great, and he truthfully seems like a slightly larger version of the orange mini-trap from 1988. But there's one fact I cannot deny:
I love this toy.
And he loves me.
