<p>[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 183167, member: 154"]Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. You gotta admire the kid's determination. He must have been sure that whatever he expected to happen with these poor figurines' heads would happen eventually, if he just kept going. From the way they talked about him, I'm thinking he was 2 years old, max. I don't know what he was thinking, but in a world full of poseable Star Wars action figures, and assemble-your-own toys like Lego and Mr. Potato Head, I can imagine his getting confused. I certainly hope I would never leave a 2-year-old in a room full of breakables, but I know stuff happens. I'm glad he wasn't injured in the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've never been a big baby doll or child figurine fan (Precious Moments, Dreamsicles, ick), so seeing a bag of headless Hummels didn't affect me much, other than sadness for Grandma's collection. But arranging Hummel body parts for the photograph - the severed hands and legs in the lower-right portion - gave me a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Perhaps I've been overdoing it with the Halloween horror movies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
