They look like plush "toppers". Obviously (and essentially) they sit on top of your pencils. Just for show. Angry Birds has a line of them out which I've seen before and best illustrates the point.

I've always found toppers that aren't those little triangle eraser thingies stupid because..well..there's no point to them. They actually GET IN THE WAY of one the only two things that a pencil is specifically designed to do.

These things look pretty terrifying though. Dat Bouncer.

They're plush pencil toppers. Not sure why they're called Flingers though. But anyway, they look terrible.

I believe "Flingers" is because you can hold the point end in one hand, pull the other end back with your other hand, resisting with the first, and when you let go, these toppers will "fling" across the room (assuming you don't break the pencil while doing it).

They're clearly stuffed toys, they wouldn't weigh much. They'll certainly make a pencil a bit top-heavy, but even most kids would likely have enough grip strength to compensate.

I estimate they would weigh about the same as the lightest actual Skylander figure, maybe less (like Hex or Stealth Elf).

They sell em at hobby lobby in the toys at the front by the checkout with the candies. They also sell the 3d puzzle figures and these weird little mini figure toppers that look like 3rd party or mcdonalds painted toys. These too are pencil toppers and have a weird lil mini portal that does nothing.

I will say this, some of them actually look decent in person. The tree rex and bouncer. Their basically just heads.

They're all basically just heads. If you all want I can get better pics of the ones from my hobby lobby sometime this week so you all can see em better.

K next time I'm there I will. Ill admit the eyebrawl is spot on, though a little more coloration on the iris, but the others look better than those pics. Their not like perfect but their a lot better

im referring to the fact crusher doesnt look like he has a weird pillow under his head, and the bouncer actually is the right colors and all, as opposed to the amazon stuff from the first post looking like a knock off.

i will say this, some people are just gonna be opposed to the thought in general and think they look bad. thats fine. i just think the difference between the ones from the original and the ones i posted from hobby lobby show a significant differance in at least bouncer and crushers designs, and some slight improvement.
i mean i cut em slack cuz i make plushes for friends and to sell, and i know sometimes its hard to get something exactly perfect, especially the smaller you get making something.
Are they perfect? No. But its not bad. Their just decent.

The Bouncer one is DEFINITELY different, but the rest look the same to me.

You know, noticing the bouncer pic and the swarm, then looking at the ones I took pics of, I think their not prototypes as much as unfinished products. If you look behind the bouncer there is red and orange cloth. I thought it was a tag at first but I see its clothe, and has the outwards pattern... Meaning the orange was put on after the yellow to give some raised features. That's kinda neat, but also they're real stupid to use unfinished step process photos for the stock pics on a STORE WEBSITE... So yeah...
