Excited
Let me narrate the thoughts of the recipient opening this gift for the first time:
What’s this? It’s just a plastic basketball. Yo this thing sucks! You can’t even bounce it!
Wha… wha? What’s happening to my sucky plastic basketball?
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!!!

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

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.

Toy CEO: Mister Yao, we here at Global Plastics Unlimited have a delightful idea. We will make a toy that is a giant basketball, and it will transform into a robot. But in lieu of a robot head, we will sculpt your face and use that as your face instead.
Yao Ming: Huh.
Toy CEO: We will give you 100,000 dollars.
Yao Ming: Huh.
Toy CEO: We will give you 500,000 dollars if you agree that we make this toy completely out of lead.
Yao Ming: Deal.
