What might have been a nice story about a struggle between good and evil toys is let down by a small, but crippling, flaw: the "good" toys aren't. Sure, the Zevo factory turned out no guns, no replicas of World War Two tanks, no violent arcade games. Their toys lacked all traces of violence - a virtue, but an entirely negative virtue. There wasn't anything GOOD about the oversized, sticky-coloured plastic, ugly, gimmicky trash that they sold to children, and there was no disguising this. Most of the toys looked as if they wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie about demonic animated dolls. All looked crude and under-designed. How can we be expected to cheer for them?
