#turtle sandbox

80/90’s Little Tikes:

I don’t think many words need to be said here. This is a perfect little guy. 10/10

2025 Little Tikes:

This shell looks thin and flimsy. Little Tykes used to make their turtles with thick, sturdy shells and this is disappointing to see.

Also, why is there a cross on the shell??? Is he Catholic? 3.5/10

Be Good Company Sandbox Critter:

What the FUCK is this. 0/10

This one I found on someone’s driveway two days ago (brand unknown):

This looks like a sturdier, higher-quality version of the 2025 Little Tykes. It’s not as charming as the original Little Tykes, but it’s aesthetically quite nice (look at the shell design!) and it doesn’t look like it’s going to break. 7/10

Step 2 Crab Sandbox:

Technically disqualified for not being a turtle, but I’m making an exception for this guy. Eyes are very endearing. Feels like he should taste like a Maynard’s Swedish Berry. 7.5/10

Hyes Turtle Sandbox:

This looks cheap and snappable, like a blown up version of something you’d find in a fast food children’s meal.
