In your Dad's defence ... consider this!
There are some teens that would think it's a hoot to get such gifts. My nieces were Sesame Street Fans and right thru University loved getting anything connected to the SS character that was their favourite.
And too, it could be that your Dad was in a store and asked, if it was appropriate for all his Grands from 0 thru 17, .... and with the encouragement of the clerks took their advice and bought one gift for all, to keep it equal, fair and square. He may have bought these with great love and thought on his part, and thinking he had done right.
