I've mentioned it before but my parent's denying me this toy for "safety issues" never ceases to amuse me. Think I'll call them up and bug them about it again.
I would have probably broken it in an hour though...
I had this toy; it was moderately amusing for a few weeks but as I recall, the batteries could not be replaced, hence its utility was good for only as long as the batteries still worked. I removed it after that.
Scott S, I had one as well but you may be thinking of something else.. This didn't require batteries, it just used a flywheel type mechanism to repeated strike a plastic membrane to make the (pretty realistic) sound. Of course like all mechanical toys, it would still wear out after a while.
I put mine on my Kick 'n Go, could anything be more '70's? :)
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.

ReplyDeleteI didn't even know it took batteries!
ReplyDeleteSeriously: I think there is an old, Chinese saying, that says:

I remember seeing the commercial for this, but like so many things, knew better than to ask for it.
