MUMS have expressed their shock after buying Pounland’s toy animals – only to discover they all had willies.
Parents didn’t spot the anatomically correct menagerie at first, but were soon alerted to the animals’ appendages by their curious kids.

After a toddler spied a willy on her giraffe, she told her mum who then shared a snap of the long-necked creature in all it’s glory to Facebook group Poundland Appreciation Society.
She said: “So… my 2 year old girl chose this today and brought it home to say ‘mam… giraffes got a willy’
“She’s not wrong is she.”
After uploading the photo, other mums also checked their Poundland toys – and found a similar situation.

An entire zoo from a dog, a horse and a giraffe all have willies.
The design has divided opinion among parents, with some mums calling it “mortifying”, while others thought it was educational.
Commenting online, one mum said: “Now that’s what u call attention to detail for the toy maker.”

Another wrote: “My son chose this toy dog then when we got home i saw it also had a very real willy.”
A third said: “We have the horses and dogs with the same… humm.. Detail. I was mortified.
“Probably more detail on it then the animal to be fair.”

Someone else commented: “I think I need to look at the ones I bought lol.”
This parent thought: “Tbh I think it’s great that kids toys can be anatomically correct without it being seen as ‘unnecessary or sexualising’.”
While another wrote: “My son had a toy dog from Poundland and he was fully loaded.”

And this mum pointed out: “That’s not fair,why are they all male,where are the females.”
Fabulous Digital has been contacted for a comment.
