I hate everything this toy represents. And it's not cheap either. Then they want you to buy plushie pals and ride-able polar bears and carrying cases and plastic bath tubs and--The doll itself is cute though.
Oh sweet god the elves are breeding
>>11629668>The doll itself is cute though.I think it's creepy looking. But it does help children learn about how glowies are watching everything you do, so job well done, I guess.
I refuse to let this thing in my house, I've openly threatened to "hide" him in the trash can if the wife tries to put him out for the holidays. >>11629729As a house that celebrates X-mas, I'd rather have this then the bloody elf.
>>11629770>>As a house that celebrates X-masHow’s life in the year 3000 A.D.?
>>11629710I like creepyish dolls. It feels more like it normalizes surveillance to the kids. 'This elf is always watching and that's good.'
>>11629668Even my other toys hate Elf on a Shelf...
>>11629710War is noel, freedom is naughtiness, ignorance is merry
I'll do you one better.
>>11629668>And it's not cheap either.That's why most people buy the dollar store knock off version Naughty Elf
>>11629729Need an Ubermensch on a Bench
>>11633195It exists.
>>11633192Makes sense. Place I work at has the doll/book for like 44 dollars. Ow.
>>11629729Apparently a bunch of these got recalled and had to be destroyed, but I heard there was more to it. Something to do with some kind of tax write-off, there's a theory they never actually made the full quantity and the "recall" was a cover-up. The company gets weirdly litigious about people looking into the whole mess too- a bunch of YouTube videos got taken down last month for trying to investigate it.
>>11632291They also made a throne for this figure. Its $40 by itself. Capeshit collectors are buying it for Dr. Doom
Official Krampus film one but sadly they didn't try to rhyme.

Had to watch my mom and sister torture my niece with this shit. The next year I explained she was way too young to understand what they were doing, and it didn't help that they often blame her for things she has no control over year round.
>>11633772He deserved it>>11633782Oof that sucks. I see the no touching rule go bad places quick but honestly just the core concept of it always watching and judging could easily mess with a kid. [spoiler]Part of why my mom wasn't big on santa and says she regrets doing it when pops insisted.[/spoiler]
I'm not even religious in my adulthood but I'm grateful I was raised with cute little nativity scenes and lighting advent candles instead of this shitLike you are already lying to your children, at least make it nice and magical and not fucking evil with creepy elves rubbing shit on the wall
>>11633490This reads like the character's cardback cutout.
>>11633526The elf is literally just a snitch, you might as well own it and make him into a negative figure like this.
>>11629668I hate how it declared ITSELF a holiday tradition from day one. Fuck you, you artificial forced psy-op.
>>11636022Their argument is it was THEIR family tradition but yeah it's annoying.
>>11629729
It's spreading.
>>11637108I hate these with every ounce of my being
>>11636022I think its annoying the packaging isnt more incognito. Ive been doing this with my kids for a few years now and seeing stuff in the store is an actual pain in the ass when im with the kids.
>>11639542
>>11633490It was a few years ago but i saw shelves of them at a bargain hunt or big lots or goodwill.
I don't get why it even exists>the elf watches you to make sure you're good!yeah we already had that at Christmas time, his name is Santa Claus.
Have you been good this year /toy/?
>>11640117I have tidied the elf on the shelf display at work. He better not come for me.
>>11633822Anna no!
