While browsing around Barnes and Noble tonight, some bizarre-looking toys caught my attention. At first glance, I thought they were Tim Burton knock-offs, with darkened eyes, misshapen heads, muted colors, and plenty of black and white stripes. But when I got closer, I realized they weren’t knock-offs at all, but rather a line called Tim Burton’s Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys. According to the box, the characters are based off of a Tim Burton book called “The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories.” I’d never heard of it, or the toys, but now I’m intrigued. It seems the book and the toys have been around for quite a while, but this was the first I had ever seen or heard of them. It seems I’m not as much of a fan of all things Tim Burton as I am of his movies…
