It had mirrors and you could look around corners with it.
It was an electronic toy and it made the same weird speaking noise as the speak and spell. But it was red (mine was at least) and you would put different templates into it and play with it (like a farm animal template and you’d push the different animals and it would tell you the name of the animal). It was kind of big and heavy and had a speaker in the corner I think. You don’t pull a string or anything. What is it called? I can’t remember and it’s bothering me.
It was sold at Toys R’ Us and was a small, recangular music box that you could insert these things that played songs (Walk like an Egyptian, Kokomo, etc)
POCKET ROCKERS!! THAT’S IT!! Thanks MIZ JONES you’ll get best answer on that (in 4 hours)
That’s the best description I can come up with. It was a ball, about the size of a basketball. It was encircled by a disc that you placed your feet on and jump. I have no idea what the name is, but for some reason I remember whammo or maybe blammo… I’m not sure why though, so it may not be by either if blammo is even a company… I’m not sure of that either. Probably not though, now that I think about it.
!!!! This ad was from the late 80s, and man does it take me back- just look at the places it was on sale at….. Fay’s Drugs, Toys R Us, Caldor and Woolworth. If I’m not mistaken, ALL of those places are out of business now! It’s hard to believe. This ad still gives me a feeling of nostalgia for some reason- never owned a Pumpkin Kutter, but Halloween was my favorite time as a kid and still is. … pumpkin kutter cutter tv ad commercial halloween jack-o-latern fay’s drugs caldor woolworth …
