But as you ponder the next toy you will be buying, a new one inspired by the increasingly popular vlogging craze has made it onto the shelves of toy stores.

And just like that, the days where a simple figurine, doll or playset is their favourite go-to have all but vanished – the world is in a new age!

A social media user, not only rueing the high price of toys but the obsession they inspire, headed to Twitter to share an image of a $50 (R740) vlogging kit for kids.

The tweet read:

"This is depressing on many levels."

The user @dylanviner did a double-take on the new obsession, grappling that it could even make it as a toy for children aged just three years old.

There was a massive flood of responses as other Twitter users bickered over whether or not it was worth buying. The tweet attracted nearly 83 000 tweets, 14 000 retweets and 1 200 comments.
