WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2016 -- With the holiday season approaching, the consumer watchdog group World Against Toys Causing Harm (WATCH) has released its annual list of the most dangerous toys. The organization urges parents to be cautious when buying toys this holiday season, noting that since January 2015 there have been recalls involving more than 800,000 individual products, including 500,000 this year alone. According to WATCH, every three minutes a child is treated in a U.S. emergency room for a toy-related injury. Since January 2015, there have been at least 19 toys with safety defects recalled in the United States. These recalls involved more than 800,000 units of toys -- including 500,000 this year, the group said in a news release. "Consumers can inspect new toys as well as toys already in homes and schools for dangerous hazards and stay away from any toys that may have been recalled, caused injuries, or are defective. Awareness of classic hidden toy hazards can prevent injuries.
Shockingly, classic toy dangers, such as small parts, strings, projectiles, toxic substances, rigid materials, and inaccurate warnings and labels, resurface each year in newly designed toys," the group said. Here is WATCH's list of the 10 worst toys of 2016, where they're sold and the risks they pose: Peppa Pig's Muddy Puddles Family. Choking hazard from small parts. Kids Time Baby Children's Elephant Pillow. . Suffocation hazard, but no warning.Slimeball ammunition can be fired with enough force to cause eye injuries. Banzai Bump N' Bounce Body Bumpers.

Desert Eagle Say hello to the Desert Eagle—possibly the meanest of all handguns and definitely one of the biggest. With Mark VII and XIX models available in .50 Action Express, it's also one of the most powerful production handguns to date. The sheer power, size, and weight of this beast have made it the director's pick in many an action movie, even though it has some inherent drawbacks when compared to a smaller, lighter weapon with a larger magazine capacity. That said, there's no way any other pistol comes close on a scale of sheer awesomeness. The Desert Eagle is a gas-operated, semiautomatic pistol. Gas operation (where the expanding gasses from the fired round push a piston, which operates the action to chamber a new round) for a pistol is unusual, as normally a pistol's action is cycled simply by recoil.
The gun can be chambered for a variety of rounds, including the previously mentioned .50 Action Express and the .44 Magnum. It feeds from a detachable box magazine, which holds nine, eight, or seven rounds (single stack), depending on the caliber being used. Since posting his first LEGO gun online at age 13, Jack Streat has played an influential role in the LEGO weapons builder community. In his spare time he modifies guitars in a never-ending quest to make them as loud as possible. Streat wrote this, his first book, when he was 18 years old.

MEGA Pack 86 Weapons - Designed for LEGO and other Minifigures See and discover other items: building a brand, build legosThe Walking Dead has featured a litany of impressive weapons, from found artillery, re-purposed sporting equipment, the undead themselves, and even a rehabilitated zoo animal. But what is the best? After all, what makes a good weapon, especially in the post-apocalyptic world, isn’t just a solid, deadly implement.
It’s not even just the skill used to wield said item. What makes a truly badass, deadly, and effective piece of weaponry when walkers roam the earth is also the fear behind the weapon. Sure, a walker won’t care what you’re carrying, but you need a weapon that can both eliminate threats and discourage future attacks. So that’s how we ranked these weapons: effectiveness, the skill of the weapon wielder, and intimidation. There is very little about Eugene that is intimidating. From his gentle voice to his stylin’ Tennessee Tophat, you’re not gonna be too freaked out about Eugene taking you out. Still, his idea to use a fire hose to take out walkers was ingenious. Might not be terribly intimidating, but it’s surprisingly effective. Plus we’ll give the guy some points for creativity. You can’t think of Rick Grimes without picturing him holding his trusty revolver. However, it’s only been in the recent seasons that Rick has truly gotten comfortable using it as a means of protection and intimidation to both walker threats and human threats.
Though these days, Rick is far more deadly when wielding his machete or his ax, Rick’s revolver will always be classic, deadly Rick Grimes weaponry. Carol has a very unassuming demeanor. She’s got a delicate frame and a sweet smile that can make you feel safe. But the truth of Carol is that she’s a deadly fighter who could take you out in your sleep and not bat an eye—and her weapon of choice shows that. While Carol is good with a gun or a machete, she has a particular skill for knives. Of course a knife is no match for a gun, but when Carol’s on her game, you likely won’t know she’s got a knife on you until its far too late to do something about it. What makes Daryl’s crossbow such a strong weapon is that it’s more than just a bow and arrow in the hands of a skilled archer–they’re the tools of a talented hunter and tracker who is not quick to surrender or let an enemy off the hook easily. Daryl’s crossbow is certainly a deadly weapon, but whenever we see it wielded by someone other than Daryl, it seems to lose a bit of its magical properties.
It seems that what really makes that crossbow intimidating isn’t so much the weapon as Daryl Dixon himself. A shotgun is a deadly firearm regardless of the marksmanship of the person firing. However, Shane just so happens to be an excellent shot, which makes his shotgun incredibly effective. Pair that with his before-his-time world view of doing whatever it takes and taking out whoever needed taking out in order to survive, and you’ve got a true, intimidating threat. Someone that ruthless wielding such a powerful weapon makes Shane’s shotgun a force to be reckoned with. I’m sorry, but can you honestly tell me that you wouldn’t be scared to death if a man with crazy eyes came barreling at you with a literal knife-arm? This is the definition of making lemonade out of the lemon-filled situation of being forced to chop your own hand off. Merle gets loads of extra points here for deadly style and lethal originality by turning himself into a weapon. Plus, without even having to raise his arm, Merle’s mere presence is threatening, which is pretty damn badass.
Straight up, Michonne can kill just about anyone or anything with her katana before you’d know what happened. A katana is a tough weapon to wield successfully, but she’s go the skills to gracefully use her sword. Plus, she knows how to make sure she’s an intimidating presence when up against an enemy. Michonne isn’t afraid to use her sword against a walker or another human, and she makes her decision to act so quickly that her enemies don’t often have the time to react. I’m not going to give spoilers from the season premiere, but that episode showed us first hand how much damage a seemingly low-key weapon like a barbed wire baseball bat can be. Lucille isn’t just a weapon though–She’s a symbol. A symbol of Negan’s power, his brutality, and the choke hold he has over the communities under him. That’s what makes it so very deadly and terrifying. It’s more than just a weapon, but it’s almost a blunt extension of Negan himself. Okay, so we just met Ezekiel and Shiva, so we don’t know Shiva’s nature…
