If you look carefully at where her foot is, watch that as she walks, you'll see how pointless the whole exercise is. She gains height, but I really see no other advantage. I suppose strides would be longer, but then the swinging of the legs with each step would be slower.

But it is funny, the second set especially.

Why?

Quote from: the end of the video
For costumers, preformers and actors everywhere.

I thought it was pointless too, but I guess if you've got a part in a play as a minotaur or something, it could be helpful.

I guess I'd say, "sweet, I remember having this one!" and then get bored and toss them aside, haha. Madball Pop-Off Heads too, and Boglins.
