#16 :: Klik candy dispenser - Elektra
This is a weird, weird object, a stocking gift from my lovely wife. Marvel Comics seems to have latched onto a rather rickety-looking Pez knockoff as a way of extending its brands. I'm not sure why you'd want to associate tasty discs of gum or candy with an assassination-orphan-turned-ninja-trained assassin, but here it is. A little spring-actuated lever flips candy out of her spring-fed neck, but the unfortunate geometry of the toy makes her knees look like some sort of bizarre derrierre cleavage. This is such a strange, ephemeral artifact that I will probably have to keep it on the off chance it increases value and I can count on that extra $2.75 in my retirement fund from offering it on eBay some 40 years hence.

I started collecting these Kliks recently and just love them. They are unique, fun, collectible and cool. My collection is only 5 so far because I can not find them anywhere in my town, just online. Does anyone know where to purchase these Klik candy dispensers besides online? Well got to go and try to win a Klik auction on Ebay right now.
Keep Kliking on!
