Rabbids Invade the World
OK some of you may not know what the hell a Rabbid is, so lets start there: Rabbids are basically mentally unstable rabbits with a plunger fetish and a panache for for dressing up. I mean I really cant think of a better way to put that…. They are from Ubisoft and have spawned 4 computer games, all with Rayman (another computer game character), and the most recent outing is Rabbids invade the world… without getting stuck into the game details all you need to know is these guys have merchandise including cards and you might want them.

There are 30 different Rabbids to collect along with 60 cards. The cards are interesting and can be used for a game very like top trumps but a little better.. as you can see in the photo each card comes as an A and B version, the A version has die cut holes so you can place it over the top of any B card and compare numbers. Basicly you get two players each take a card one an A card and one a B card, then they play rock paper scissors (seriously this is in the instructions) to see who chooses a statistic to compare… the winner has the higher number… basic, simple and actually fairly fun… someone put some thought into these which is great.
Card 5 A and B
The cards are slightly smaller than the regular trading cards (slightly narrower and a fraction shorter) and randomly packed. You also get a figure in each pack with an average height of about 2.5 inches, and a little sticker. The stickers feature an image of one of the international Rabbids.

There are so many reason these should never have been made, but they have been and I cant help but want them all…. You can find these in game shops, and some newsagents in the UK but if you really want them shop on line at the time of writing this several sites are offering them at up to half price which is a steal. The Egyptian Mummy looks particularly good but I have yet to find one… You should go and buy these they are fun and appeal to gamers and kids both big and small it would seem..
Really? Possably the oddest thing I own...
