What is this strange orb-shaped thing? Is it a Jedi Mind Trainer? A strange onacup? A magical ball of joy? Perhaps all of those things are right… and none of them.



This, my friends, is a prototype Marshmallow Landmine. You load this thing up with marshmallows and it shoots them off when enemies approach. It’s part of the Marshmallowville line of marshmallow guns designed for kids, kids at heart, and mercenary soldiers stuck deep behind enemy lines in Peep World.

The Landmine is just a prototype, but it looks quite delicious and lethal. They also showed some new blasters at their booth at the Toy Fair and I even got to shoot some marshmallows at a target. Unfortunately, it was not a live target.
