Let me narrate the thoughts of the recipient opening this gift for the first time:
OMG! My sucky plastic basketball has wings!
Oh crap! I think my sucky plastic basketball has turned into a ship with wings and is going to fly away!
Wait! What’s this?! It’s not a ship! It’s got legs! Legs! Long legs!
And a head!
OMG! It’s my hero! Yao Ming!
It’s a Yao Ming superhero transformer! Woot!
WHAT A GREAT GIFT!!! THE PERSON WHO GAVE THIS TO ME IS AWESOME!!!

I’m interested to hear how they got Yao Ming on board with this idea. Thanks, Ernie, for your theory. The toy is absurd.
And in a flip of things, Yao doesn’t look Chinese because some hypersensitive politically conscious toy designer didn’t make his eyes chinky enough. From the photo joz posted, Yao looks southern european.

Akrypti — actually, in that last photograph, Yao kinda looks like OJ Simpson.
