Supermarket giant Aldi has come under fire from parents over the design of one of its Christmas soft toys from the Kevin the Carrot range.
This year, shoppers can get their hands on Kevin and his family, as well as Ebanana Scrooge and Marcus Radishford.
The toys are set to go on sale on November 25 in Aldi stores, Manchester Evening News reports.
Posting on an Aldi online fan group, one shopper shared a picture of the collection of toys, writing: First look at some of the Kevin Toys for 2021....."
However, customers were quickly distracted after spotting a 'disturbing' detail in the photo.
Writing under the post, one person slammed: "When I saw the first Aldi advert I got super excited for the little cute banana!!!!! Thinking yes he is so darn cute I need him!
"But now looking at these. I’m well disappointed the banana looks scary and massive and Marcus looks like a tomato. The only one I like is bearded Kevin!"
Somebody else wrote: "Love the first look but man that banana is creepy!"
"That banana is scary!!" said a third.
A fourth commented: "Why does Ebanana look like Count Drac? Hahaha."
However, not everyone hated the banana so much.
"I hate these and I hate big stuffed toys BUT I love that Banana," said one shopper.
Another fan commented: "I want the banana. did u manage to get urz."
Aldi has been contacted for comment.
