Jeremy Fish's Barry the Beaver toy

Beaverbox-Web Upper Playground artist Jeremy Fish created this Barry the Beaver toy. You twist the tree stump and Barry vibrates. It's available for $45 for Ningyoushi.com, an incredible online supplier of Japanese toys, action figures, and designer toys. Denise from Ningyoushi told me that the 5" tall Barry the Beaver is Fish's "response to those stiff vinyl figures in the designer toy market." Sure it is...

I do hope it is not made of toxic plastics

He'd probably sell more if Barry came in different sizes.

#2 makes a good point, can anyone confirm whether or not vinyl is meant for anything other than being looked at?

silicone is the only expensive, safe material for sex toys. Gimme a minute.....

At a measly 5" long, does it really matter?

can't find it, but if you listen to the run-up patter for "Never Put a Cell Phone Up Your Bum, Chum" by the fabulous entertainers "The Wet Spots", it has a full explanation. Their Youtube stuff is both hilarious and unsuitable for the United Arab Emirates.

I'm assuming you can't sell this in Alabama.

It's not the breadth of the beaver, but the brio of his buzz.

Actually, this might be legal in Alabama. After all, it's just meant to be a stimulating figurine of a comic character.

I dont have a vagina, so this is just a guess, but I think his pointy little ears would be uncomfortable in there.

Thanks, Takuan! I needed that. Wet Spots=good!

And Seyo? I wouldn't imagine those ears would really make much difference.

the pointy ears would be a plus -- on the g spot

Ah, is that a nappy he's wearing?

Let's ignore the fact that I personally find infant roleplaying a massive turn-off (which is an issue given that the device is moonlighting as a sex toy)- do these people not know the protocol for dressing cartoon beasties?

Have the Yogi Bears and Top Cats taught us nothing? Shirts and ties on top, people, no pants on the bottom. Do it the other way 'round and you're bound to upset the natural order of the universe.

John Mayer - Your Body Is A Wonderland

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

Is it coincidence that "Barry" sounds a lot like "bury?" No? Ok.

you say Barry?

Don' think...just feel it
Ooooh...just do it

(Chorus)
The longer we make love
the closer I want to be
I just can't get enough
I love the way you freak me

(Repeat Chorus)

Anytime is the right time
To share your love with me
And baby, in the meantime
I'll be waiting anciously

(Bridge)
I'm in the mood to make sweet love to you
It's always on my mind, babe
All of the things you love me to do
I'm gonna make it nice, I'm gonna make it right

(Chorus X 2)

I'm in the same situation
I need you more and more each day
Seems when you're not around me
Oh, so very far away
And I'm in the mood to give sweet love to you
Girl, that's always on my mind
And all the things you want me to do
Turn out the light, I'll make it right

(Chorus X 2)

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The longer we do it, the more we get down to it

Quit quoting songs, Takuan. What's next, a hair band ballad mix tape on cassette? If you must, at least let it be Morrissey.

Take a look at this

Hmmm. Isn't asking for a mix tape a mating request?

Take a look at this

Quite possibly. But then, everything is a mating request in your eyes, Antinous.

Take a look at this

Yeah, but the request is never aimed at me.

Having lived in Alabama, I'm pretty sure Barry is legal for sale there. Though I can't speak to the actual laws, I can speak to what they sold at local lingerie shops and such.

It's too bad though, that if they don't sell it as a sex toy they don't have to use materials safe for internal use on humans. Phthalates=bad in sex toys.

@Antinous, #7
You said "At a measly 5" long, does it really matter?"
Depends on the girl! 5" might not do it for the penetration depth oriented, but since most women use vibrators on their clit - who cares how LONG it is? The question is how STRONG it is!!

Take a look at this

who cares how LONG it is?

It doesn't look meant to be an insertable. If you're inserting, you need something to hold onto, so five inches turns into two and a half inches pretty fast. Of course, a vibro egg is only an inch long, but it has a tail.

This sort of drags up the old debate, though, of whether drawing a face on a vibrator makes it "art".

@Antinous
You prove my point. :) Length only matters for insertion. And while some vibro eggs have "tails"...a pretty popular vibe is this one:

No tail included (or needed)

And might I point out that you asked about the length in the first place. ~wink~

Morrissey is a the whiney ex-singer for the Smiths who has a big square head.

I apologize for not sending thank-you notes to everyone who spotted that spam, but it demolished the previous Boing Boing record for the number of eyeball-click spam alerts it inspired: 71!

Elorin,

Personally, I stick with Aneros. Probably NSFW when you get into it, although most people wouldn't identify it as a sex toy because it's so weird looking. It works a treat though.

I'm personally a penetration girl, but I also collect sex toys so I've got a wide variety. But I switched in the past few years to exclusively 100% silicone for insertables...
So I'm a big fan of www.tantusinc.com and www.tantusdirect.com

Assuming you grasp it the way a toddler grasps a crayon. Barry's stump is more than enough to hold onto, and for that matter the cavity of insertion can do a fair share of the holding itself. All of Barry's surface features might make him a little awkward, but if he wasn't at least in theory meant to be insertable, he wouldn't have that darling little curved up tail. It just depends on preference. Besides, throughout the ages a lot of things that were never meant to be insertable have been employed in that capacity. :)

@16: I can't speak for all women, but his ears look small and rounded enough that I would be very surprised if I felt them at all. Remarkably few nerves in there.

Take a look at this

Morrissey is not whiney, he's sensitive. And how banal to bring up the fact that you find his head to be large or orthogonal. I was talking about his lyrics.

But this wouldn't be about music if Takuan hadn't started quoting again. It's supposed to be about sex toys.
