Toy of the Day - "Your Momma" by Triston Eaton



Thunderdog Studios released a limited edition soft vinyl sculpture designed by Tristan Eaton called Your Momma, which comes with accessories including tinned beef and ‘secret babies in her belly’. Your Momma is one smokin’, club-wielding pregnant tough cookie who is part glamour wannabe/part curlered harridan. This toy is not cute (and is not meant to be), but represents an action hero in the form of the single mother.
