Ricochet racers were a cool concept on their own, it's a neat looking laser gun looking rifle that shot cars! Sprinkle in Spider-Man and Captain America and few kids could resist them.
I'd completely forgotten about this. I recall it being pretty cool for about a week, then the novelty of shooting a car from a gun wore off. And as you can imagine, it got trashed pretty quickly. It was a little complicated, too - as I look at the photo, I'm still not sure what each of those parts are for.
I still have mine, although it no longer works. My brother used it inappropriately with a Shogun Warriors bullet, and the bedroom wall never recovered from it. Ah, the good old days.

I put tape on the safety lever, so I could shoot my racer up in the air, like a grenade launcher!
