Battle of the Toys - Who Glamps Best?
I am beginning a new series of post pitting similar toys against each other in a kind of toy death match per-se.
Today we are looking at a new word that seems to be all over the news, "Glamping". That would be, Glamor+Camping="Glamping". That's right people, last year's "staycation" is this year's "glamping".
So who out there is glamping best in the world of toys? Let's check out the competitors:
Contestant #1: First the very un-glamorous camping with the weebles.
Weebles Weegoaway Camper
Wobbling is not glam, and it certainly is not safe around a campfire.
Contestant #2-
The very "Euro" camping experiance, the Playmobil Family Camper
While it is very cute, I think it is more "Family" than Glam-ory.
Contestant #3- Camping on the "square":
The Lego City Camper
Well, he DOES have his surf board, that is a little cool and edgy, but I wouldn't say that it is "glamping"-worthy. We are edging ever closer to the real glamp of it all.
Contestant #4
Well, it is pink, and it talks...but is it glamourous?
The Caring Corners - Happy Camper Talking RV
ok, so it has eyes, but it does fold out and some features include:
- Honk the horn to discover more than 100 activities, sounds, words, and songs about the outdoors
- Swings open to reveal a bedroom, cab sleeper, bathroom, and fully equipped kitchen
- Includes lots of surprises: a hidden doggy bed, detachable slide, removable captains chairs, fold-down TV and a grill that opens to barbeque
- Reinforces positive messages with the kitchen recycling area and bumper stickers that reward real-life good deeds
- Offers ideas for kids and families to explore nature with enclosed adventure passport
Now, this is closer but let's see what our last contestant has to offer...
Contestant #5
The Glamping winner, and still the heavyweight champion of all things "glam":
Barbie's Pink Glamour Camper
Was there ever any doubt really? Who would win this competition but the Princess of Pink herself? Barbie is so hot this year, you could fry a tiny little egg on her plastic, crazily arched feet. The camper she had in the 70s is no more, but she has returned with a pink palace on wheels. I mean, just take a gander at that toilet! Features include:
- Signature details like a pink pop-out tent with glam chandelier
- Sleep under the stars in the super-cool sleeping bag and fold-out bed
- Sound features include music, sizzling cooking, flushing toilet and chirping crickets.
- Camper moves on four wheels, folds out for fun and folds up for self-contained play!
because what you really need when camping is a chandelier! Duh!
Have a happy 4th of July and Toy Whimsy will return on Monday the 8th with even more great toy news, ideas, and features!

Tony Gonzalez Falcons jerseys are being gobbled up by the fans because everyone knows what he means to Ryan and the offense. With Gonzalez on the field, Ryan will always have a safety valve in any situation.
