As Seen On Tv Stretchkins FAIL

Today is my youngest sons 7th birthday and the only thing he wanted was a Stretchkins.  So yesterday we hurried to our local Wal-mart and purchased the only one they had left.  A Pink Unicorn.  He didn't mind.  We slapped down $19.99 for this pink monstrosity

and wrapped her up.  Upon opening he declared this the best birthday ever and me the best mommy in the whole world.  I have a feeling he would have said that for anything.  Now the claims on this product is it "grows" from 29 inches to 60 inches tall, it included a DVD that is a $10.00 value that has a dance party section and excersize section.  Of coarse he immediately popped in the dvd and being a good mother I was forced to watch 10 minutes of this horrifying stretchkins theme song over and over while different children danced and did cartwheels and such while their colorful animals were attached to them.  (Anyone ever wonder who figures out the "values" of extras product companies include?)  Probably the same person who figures out the retail values for stuff on the price is right.  They overbid...  Anyhow.  My son enjoyed his toy and that is the point.  However later in the day he was distraught.  His stretchkins that he already named had torn  Now for a toy where the leg attatches to the body.  See above picture.  This should not happen to a toy that is supposed to be stretched and danced with and even cart wheels done with it, it shouldn't tear on the first day of medium strength play.  My 7 yr old is not 60 inches tall either, the toy was not stretched vigorously or played with roughly.  The Tummy Stuffer is a good As Seen on TV toy and has held up well but this is not.  Save yourself 20.00 and talk your child into something else.  I am kinda ticked off that this animal tore on the first day when it was specifically designed to be attached to a child and stretched and such with.  I am writing a strongly worded letter to the company.  Make my child upset on his birthday will you.
