I have to defend some of these plastic toys. Someone (I think my sister-in-law) got my daughter a walking dancing dachsund https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzoDklaKcDE for Christmas when she was about 5 or 6. That toy was set aside after the novelty wore off, but was never discarded, but then was rediscovered when doing some house cleaning. We inserted new batteries and not only my now older daughter, but the whole family got a kick out of it. Every so often, it comes out from storage, and, even though the cuteness eventually wears off, it still provides a moment of pleasure. We decided not to get rid of it because of that, so even though it sits in a closet somewhere, when it does get rediscovered, it's as much fun as it was when she first got it. It will probably be given to her child when that time will come.
