As per ATT entry,this was deleted for a reason. it didn't fail because it's popular. so it's not an example.


* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A series of colorful unicorn-themed blind bag slime making kits that's focused on excrement (and occasionally, vomit) is somehow both extremely cutesy and a gross-out toy, with those elements clashing so spectacularly that they help make the result downright surreal. There are unicorn dolls which make the slime via being fed the ingredients and then excreting the slime, and the dolls' designs lean into UnintentionalUncannyValley territory and are almost Bratz Babyz lookalikes. An interesting subversion of this is that, although many people were disgusted and/or questioning what the creators were on, the toys still managed to become popular.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Unless you're a small child, a toy line primarily themed around cutesy versions of poo and vomit is highly likely to turn you off. Hell, even most little kids would be grossed out by the premise.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: The Rainbow Surprise line was eventually retooled into ''Toys/RainbowHigh'', a fashion doll brand that's since become a bestseller with both children and [[PeripheralDemographic collectors.]] Although a lot of general design elements remain the same between the two lines, Rainbow High dropped the blind box aspect, the slime gimmick, and the gross-out humor, which probably contributed significantly to its success. The Rainbow High dolls are also small enough that they can share clothes with other fashion dolls, and they're generally higher-quality than their Rainbow Surprise predecessors, with more articulation and inset eyes.

** The "Poopsie Slime Surprise" music video. The lyrical content is already pretty disgusting, but the video also features the unicorns - who are clearly modeled to look like toddlers - wiggling and gyrating while the camera zooms in on their exposed midriffs.
