“Let me count out your change from my ‘halk a toad’ purse…What? No, it’s not endangerous….You don’t care about the change? Oh, okay.”

Yes, this thing would pay for itself, if you were to use it to hold change. Who would want anything that came out?
Also, I’m very displeased that you don’t pull the money out from the mouth.

#8 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :

I was totally NOT surprised that the seller is from Australia. My dear friend is from Australia and cane toads are an ecosystem destroyer. Though he says they usually just try to hit them with their cars as they drive and he’s partaken in a few rounds of “cane toad golf” in his day.

But that said… that thing is hideous. And I too, am saddened that we can’t pull the change from the mouth. Because it wouldn’t be AS hideous if it had that option.

When I was in Australia I saw all sorts of cane toad souvenirs in retail shops. Some of them ‘functional’ like this one, some of them just plain weird (a taxidermied frog stood up on a stand, playing a guitar? ok then). Seller is correct in pointing out that cane toads are a nuisance pest in Australia, but this has “souvenir I don’t want anymore, and hey, SOMEONE hand-made it!” written all over its lumpy leather hide.

Totally educated guess about this tattoo artist. Thinking he escaped from WWII Japan and is reliving the magic every day by using the skills he acquired in the tropical forests to craft useful items out of dead reptiles.
When not actually at work sawing amphibians in half, he reminisces about the good old days of Nazi Germany and the segregated U.S.

Is it still true that the Japanese consider the foot the most degraded part of the body (_Daughter of the Samurai_, Sugimoto)? I’m not Japanese, and I still think it’s pretty insulting to stick your big old ugly foot next to a flag. Of course, depending on whose flag it is, you might want to be insulting.

This guy, however, is just a doofus.

This amphibious monstrosity aside, from an antiques junkie’s perspective, this seller has a decent collection of desireable, albeit dark items; provided the right audience is reached.

Both Black Americana and German war items are increasingly desireable collectibles, and as demand increases, so do values.

…as for the brass knuckles, if it can be proven that they are military issue, a permit to posses them as military paraphernalia can likely be obtained.

May the thumbs down commence!

Found this about it: “No new prohibited-weapons collectors are being authorized. Consequently, as collectors pass away, their collections are concentrating in fewer and fewer hands and, ultimately, when the last collector dies, all of those weapons will be destroyed.”

However, I too would prefer to have my cane toad purse spit money from its maw. I am torn.

Victoria BC was my second thought, but only because of the offensive cupie doll postcards. History is, well, what it is.

#87 – It looks like Jabba the Hut is boggying down. I’m not certain I needed that mental image, but it is funny.

They’re poisonous, too? That’s just the final straw in my choice to not buy this!

In other words the seller catches and decapitates them by his or herself. I am mortified right now.

So what I want to know is why is there motion blur on the legs on this poor creature? Was this toad alive CAND moving while it was turned into a purse? Because that would be very ENDANGEROUS for the toad.

I served a man in my shop who has one of these. I told him that it was disgusting the first time I saw it and now everytime he comes into the shop he hides the head in his hands.. either he is hiding it from me, or hiding it because he’s ashamed, or other people have told him it’s gross, I don’t know, but he still has it.!

i live in surfers paradise (gold coast, australia). there are a slew of souvenir shops here, most of which sell cane toad related items (wallets, preserved bodies in weird poses). its not unusual to see kangaroo scrotum purses for sale either

In a very bizarre, sad way, the seller should use the “dancing” image if it was possible, it’s more appealing looking like it is still alive.

Been living in Okinawa since October, and I’ve seen a whole bunch of these things in souvenir shops on Kokusai Dori, the main shopping street in Naha if you want cheap junk as a souvenir.

$65 is way overpriced. They’re a mass-produced item, and I have no idea why they sell them to tourists here.
