TOP TEN TOY OF 2022: #10. Little Trash Can Fire from 100Soft
CLIFF UCHIDA: It's a cute little trash can night light. It's very similar to the dumpster fire night light released in 2021. The biggest improvement it has over the OG dumpster fire night light is the ability to recharge the trash can fire via USB cable. (Read Cliff's full review on Instagram)
