Roadkill Badgers Aren't Funny

A lot of people ask me: When are you going to do a Roadkill Badger Teddy? Well, runover badgers aren't funny. Badgers are beautiful, proud creatures, with a great literary history, from Badger in Wind and the Willows to Bobby Badger in Crickle Hollow. A squashed badger just isn't funny. A squashed vole on the other hand is a different matter.

Manolo Blahnik Roadkill Collection

My fashion sources have told me about this Autumn's must-have accessories. Roadkill Boots. Created by Manolo Blahnik, out of real roadkill, the shoes have created quite a stir in Milan and New York. Manolo Blahnik has described the shoes as challenging and wearable, with mass appeal.

Martian Roadkill 2


You can see it better in this enlarged image. I bet they had some really interesting Roadkill on Mars.

Martian Roadkill


A bit unrelated to Roadkill Teddies but... I got these images from the European Space Agency's website. Conspiracy theorists say that they show signs of ancient civilisation on Mars. If you look closely you can see patterns, things that look like buildings and roads. I wonder what Martian Roadkill looked like?

Roadkill Line Rider Video

Quite watchable. But maybe not as much as my Roadkill Granny viral.

Smudge the squirrel

Smudge the Squirrel, the latest in Roadkill Toys collection, has just been scraped off the tarmac. He should be appearing in our Roadkill Toys shop: www.roadkilltoys.com He's cute, he's cuddly, and he's got major trauma of the lower abdomen.

We've also launched our macabre Roadkill Teddy with a quirky viral film. It features an old granny with a few issues. It's had a lot of hits so far, and has also appeared on CNN and Sky News. Check it out on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83S7w2bdwtY

Roadkill Teddy Family Grows

The roadkill teddy family has been steadily growing since we launched in december. First there was Twitch the Raccoon. A macabre, designer plush toy. Then there was Grind the Rabbit. And pretty soon, there's going to be Splodge the Hedgehog and Smudge the Squirrel, dragging their battered, furry bodies off the production line. They are all twisted toys. Toys for those with a sense of humour.

Roadkill Teddy on Jonathan Ross

Twitch the Roadkill Teddy appeared on Jonathan Ross a few weeks ago. He was the star of the show, effortlessly upstaging Goldie Hawn.
Jonathan Ross was quite impressed, although he did think Twitch looked a bit like Pete Doherty.

Roadkill Toys Creator to appear on Dragon's Den

I took my macabre collection of runover teddies and went on Dragon's Den a couple of weeks ago. The new series will be shown towards the end of July. I'll keep you posted as to how it goes.

Grind the Roadkill Teddy

There's a new Roadkill Teddy in town. His name's Grind. And he's a runover rabbit.

He was scraped off the tarmac last night. He comes in a body bag, keeping him fresh and maggot-free. And he has a toe tag giving you details of his demise.
