Can't remember what they were called but there was one I really liked. It was a base with a crank on it and gears inside. A wheel attached to the other side. You'd crank it up real fast and when you stopped the wheel would detach from the base and go like hell. Not to be used indoors as this wheel would go very fast while bouncing around after running into things and destroying all sorts of stuff in the house. I can only imagine how many asses were paddled due to that wheel. That was a damn fun toy.
Probably already mentioned in the thread somewhere, but maybe someone can help me remember. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEgaPv2fTso and of course.... "Coleco's Space Blaster" which was one of my favorite toys from back in the day. It projected alien spacecraft flying evasive patterns up on the wall and you had to shoot them down with beams of light. Pretty neat. Watch the video and see why this was a cool game for kids. tons of fun.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o34Mc1L-bo |

My uzi. I’ve tried to find out who made them but come up empty every time. It took batteries and made noise and the yellow string would shoot out. It would have to wind back up inside manually if I remember right.
This would have been late 80s early 90s

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep. At the time I was unfamiliar with the anime this design originally came from (Fang of the Sun Dougram) but I was very familiar with Battletech, so I thought it was a really cool Griffin toy. I ended up painting a little Federated Suns symbol on the leg armor of mine.

This thread is becoming depressing. I can't believe how many of the posted toys I remember owning, and have no idea where they all went to. Fortunately a quick trip to ebay shows a lot of them are available for fairly cheapish. My dream project is a G1 Megatron that transforms into a REAL 22lr single shot pistol. |
