Design Toscano is marketing some ‘truly magnificent’ alternative sculptures such as zombies trapped in compost heaps, lost yetis, ferocious dinosaurs and sharks for the garden pond.
The Illinois-based company has sold £20million worth of whacky models in the past ten years.

I like the top one LOL

I was considering getting one of those medical skeletons and burying in my neighbours front garden as a joke, but she has heart problems, I can just imagine coming home and either finding her snuffed or the police forensic team digging up the rest of her yard. The latter would be quite funny. ;D

It's all fun and games until somebody loses a neighbor.

Post by: Pathfinder on March 04, 2010, 06:03:41 AM: I had no idea Design Toscano was still in business. I figured they had gone belly up with all of the other mostly useless tchotchkie stores. Although I did get my Mom some really nice hand-painted Italian tiles with her house numbers on it from DT, plus a frame with complementary tiles around the numeral ones. Then her stupid effing HOA refused to let her hang it on her house. >:( So, being Mom, she put it in her garden and was perfectly happy with it.
