Sometimes I conceive of a desire a certain thing, but I can’t see an immediate [or even future] use for it. I then postpone the acquisition to see if I really, really<\/em> want it later. If I’m not interested in a few weeks\/months\/years, I won’t get the thing. If I’m still hankering after the thing several weeks\/months\/years later, I usually get it.<\/p>\n

Such was the case with my 1:6 scale door and electric wheelchairs, which I recently procured because my interest in them remained strong over a few years.<\/p>\n

I was going to ignore my equally strong interests in a 1:6 scale fireplace and toilet, but then I discovered Mini Chair’s fireplace. <\/a>And then my mind would not stop telling me that my dolls needed somewhere to shit.<\/p>\n

Okay! Fine! I’ll get a toilet! Sheesh! Stop bothering me!<\/p>\n

Problem is, as I have mentioned before,<\/a> 1:6 scale toilets tend to be undersized. Barbie toilets are probably more like 1:7 or 1:8 scale even. Here’s a Barbie Glam Bathroom set<\/a> looking rather minuscule. The toilet also has a huge flower in relief on the seat cover, something I have never seen in real life.<\/p>\n

Even stuff for action figures [which tends to be a bit larger than playscale playline stuff] still comes up short. [Har har. See what I did there?] For example, a few years back, Loading Toys made a dirty toilet with wads of hundred dollar bills, which I presume was attempting to duplicate some famous movie scene involving a money toilet. Not only was it ridiculously priced for mediocre quality, it was also rather small. Here’s a review<\/a> on OSW.<\/p>\n

This miniature prank squirting toilet<\/a> has been tested by others and shown to be about the right size, however. This Sour Flush candy package<\/a> might also work. This toilet-shaped bank<\/a> has also been suggested as an option, but it has that unrealistic blue base. [Interesting how they’re all for sale at stupid.com…]<\/p>\n

In other options, there’s a toilet-shaped tabletop vacuum<\/a> that a Flickr user has confirmed as in-scale. Unfortunately, there’s a large brown thing [looks like a pile of caramel] in the bowl, and I’m not sure if it’s removable.<\/p>\n

Further bulletins as shit happens.<\/p>\n
