no can do. Customs has a thing about rabid fire-breathing flying polar bears.
Can't think why.

Maybe if you mark them on the custom form as plushies.

Remember hearing from one of the Murder Inc. killers from New York in the 70s talking about the one, and only, time they tried a chainsaw on someone. First off, it throws blood and bits of the body everywhere. Second, a chainsaw is a specially designed tool with a specific medium for use in mind. Flesh was not the medium of intent so you quickly get a ton of flesh chunks jammed into the teeth of the saw which quickly means that...Third, you're basically smacking people with a loud, unbalanced, whirling flesh sprayer as a blunt impact weapon for the three or so seconds of fun you get before it jams up tight. Similar stories abound when other criminals have tried other purpose-designed cutting power tools (circular saws, etc) are involved. They whir a bit, they cut a bit, they spray viscera all over the place, and promptly jam up tight until you fish the gook out of them. The one exception, since I know some wiseass will mention it, is a band saw (common in butchers shops) since the force of the blade rotating in the drum tends to fling the vicera free of the blade, but that meat is also drained of blood and typically refrigerated which makes it easier to cut.


This is why we can't have nice things. Stupid logic.
