Twitch the Raccoon
Twitch the Raccoon
Twitch the Raccoon was the first soft plush character of the RoadKill Toys collection,
An alternative designer toy range from the UK, although these are not the kind of toy
you want to be giving your children because of the macabre theme which they
follow...Each of the characters from the RoadKill toy range have all been run over...
A down to earth raccoon born on the 25th November 2002 who dedicated most of his
life to foraging for and eating acorns, sniffing his genitallia and playing dead, a
subject which he excelled in at the raccoon finishing school in Berkshire between
2002 - 2004. Unfortunately it was found on 17th March 2007 that this little raccoon
wasn't as good as playing dead as he thought and at the age of five it was found that
he was in fact no longer playing dead after a head on collision with a Ford Mondeo on
the A369 
Squash Plush
This Squash plush toy measures in at a generous 38cms nose to tail and 25cms
splayed out paw to poor. The material used for Twitch's body gives him a rough and
ragged fur like quality, a realistic mangy fur look of an animal that’s been through an
ordeal, maybe dragged along the road.
The body itself contains a combination of stuffing which helps to give it that realistic
squidgy feel and beads which helps to give the toy a little bit of added weight which
helps to weighs him down and make it look like he is realistically splayed out or
should that be squashed!

You will find that he has a tyre print that runs across his back which can give a clue to
this little raccoon’s demise. His eyes google from his head out and his tongue lolls out
from his mouth. To each of his sides you will find that there is a zip which once
undone allows you to disembowel this poor little raccoon making him look like a true
piece of RoadKill.

This internal blood and guts are made using a high tech stuffing and plush which
gives it a more realistic squidgy feel to it and on his underside you will find an
embroidered red blood splat and a couple of embroided white organs as if you are
looking into the carcass of his body.
Something Quirky
Something which I find quiet quirky about this Squash Plush range is that each toy
comes in their very own little translucent zip up plastic bodybag. Twitch fit snugly
into the bodybag and the fact that its translucent means that you can see the carnage
inside before you even open it, Although thankkfully it comes without the smell of
death when you do get around to opening it!!!

Each toy also comes with its own personalised brown toe tag with details of the
characters demise and a certified Death certificate which has been signed by a doctor.
Twitch retails at £25.00 and you can purchase him from www.roadkilltoys.com
