Look into any child's toy box and you'll usually find at least one stuffed animal that has seen better days — a teddy bear with an eye missing or an arm nearly torn off. Now a British company wants to give you that look right out of the box with its line of "roadkill" plush toys.
The first to be launched is Twitch the Raccoon which comes with its own body bag, reports U.K newspaper Metro.
Twitch also has an identity tag revealing it was "run over over by a milk [delivery truck] last Thursday."
A zipper on each side of the toy allows the owner to remove Twitch's internal organs and stuff them back in again. A truck-tire print runs across its back.
The product's creators, Compost Communications, call themselves "toy terrorists."
