Enter Stitch, a killing machine from the planet Turo. An unholy mix of E.T. and the Zuni fetish doll that scared the wits out of Karen Black in the never-to-be-forgotten TV movie Trilogy of Terror, Stitch was created by a mad scientist--or, as he prefers to be known, an "evil genius"--who gave the creature only one instinct: "to destroy everything it touches."

With the help of his Japanese partner (the Japanese are, unsurprisingly, the leaders in sex toy innovation), he is developing unusual products to fill new niches of sexual proclivity-and not just farm animals. Works-in-progress include a "lovebot," a humanoid doll with lifelike skin that will be able to move and speak lines such as, "Am I going too fast for you?"
