It's been a while since I've delved into
the more bizarre side of Transformers collecting. This is an item I don't actually have, myself, but I shot this picture with my cell phone (hence the low resolution) while I was at the toy store. I can't actually say that, as a kid, I wanted to "play" at shaving, but I suppose that kids want to emulate their parents in all sorts of ways, so why not this one? And if the marketing folks can make a little extra money by capitalizing on the popularity of Transformers... well, naturally, very little is considered "out of bounds" if someone thinks that they can make money off of it.
I did find it a bit odd to see that this play shaving set also includes a little brush (just left of center in the picture), since I wasn't even aware that brush-style shaving cream still existed, even for adults! I've always just used the stuff you squirt out of a can.....
