Suck UK are well known for their, let’s say, ‘out-there’ products, from gimmicky gadgets like drumstick pencils and giant novelty desk tidies to innovative items such as the Jack Rabbit duel headphone jack, or the alarm clock the runs away and forces you physically get up to turn it off.
The Skull Tidy lands itself in the former category rather than the latter, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have its uses. As a child, I was swept up with the rest of my classmates in the second wave of the UK’s emo period (although I would of argue fiercely against the label at the time). This means I still have a natural navigation towards anything macabre or creepy. The Skull Tidy is realistic and life sized (I tried measuring it against my own head and it seemed about right), made from Polyresin and weighing a whopping 1.093kg. It really could be mistaken for the real thing, if it didn’t have such perfect teeth.
The tidy is available in black or white - the black looks less creepy, as the white is beautifully painted to look more realistic. The brains have been cleanly scooped out (like a few friends of mine), leaving you a large space to organise your things. This is an expensive, quirky item, but it does feel well made and arrives nicely packaged.
The Skull Tidy will definitely be a talking point wherever you place it. We named ours Jack (of course) and he looks after my running glasses (they give him a fresh edge) as well as my sports watch, mp3 and small change - a brilliantly weird product that you never knew you needed. RRP £45
