Gags discontinued
by Kheper Games

When your ex-husband is a dick, you can vent (and avoid murder charges).

Cute concept that is slightly lacking in execution and presentation. A good gag gift for your suffering friend that is a reasonable value for the price.

Pros
Good gag gift, funny concept.
Cons
Plain design, only one color, box design not ideal for gift giving, easy to lose pins.

useful review
Well, my ex-husband is a real dick and does make my life hell. So I chose this doll to review because it really reflected my current state of mind. It was a fun diversion, although I think that it could've have been executed slightly differently for even more impact. I like to keep it by the computer so every time I get an email about bills I can stab it repeatedly.

The doll is sewn black cloth, stuffed, with white writing on it. The face is reminiscent of the now infamous "Scream" Halloween costume mask. Pearl capped sewing pins are included with the doll to stab the appropriate phrase with. There are 25 phrases on the front and back and 10 pins. They are initially placed in a circle around "I want ALL!...not half". The text is hilarious, and very apt, including such gems as "You pay all the legal fees", "Send my alimony", "Quit showing up to PTA meetings drunk!", "Stop lying about your affairs", "Admit you're wrong", and "You pay the mortgage". So stab away and hope for some good luck to come your way through the power of Voodoo. I would've liked a doll in a light colored fabric with a marker so you could add your own phrases or maybe draw a face on it.

The box is probably the worst aspect of the product. It is very basic in all black with the title under the cellophane window and a description on the back. It wouldn't be that impressive if given as a gift, but the recipient would probably get such a kick out of it they wouldn't mind. It is a rather large doll so the size of the box provides some visual impact.

From surfing on the website I understand that there is also a version for bad boyfriends/girlfriends for those without legal shackles requiring severing.
Follow-up commentary
I've shared this with a friend who was divorced in the last year and she thought it was hilarious! Based on my response, I would highly recommend it as a gift for someone once they're through the initial, most painful phase of their divorce.

    I have one of these. It is supposed to be a simple design since that it is a traditional voodoo doll style and I don't understand why the box isn't good for gift giving. I thought it was perfect with the window pane. Anyways...good review.

    I giggled. I'd stab it too when I got bills. Thanks for a good review.

    That's funny! Does it talk or just have the phrases? Do you think it would hold up to repeated use - like a sewing pincushion?

    I didn't mean it to sound like it's a horrible box and too ugly for gift giving, but it is rather bland. I wish it did actually talk, but unfortunately the phrases are just printed on the doll. The fabric is of a good quality, so as long as you didn't stab it too vigorously I think it would hold up through many "sessions".
