LOL, had one, I could never program it right.
HOLY CARP! How in the hell did you remember that? I’m thinking about 1967-ish?
Redhead sold separately.
I read about it in a book once. You put it in a cupboard to let the fur/mold form overnight.
we had two from the generation before me and my Son grew up riding them as well.
My brother ended up with them, then he went to India.
I bet they are at my Moms house now.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
Don’t forget racing belt sanders! I don’t think dad ever found out...
If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.
Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration...
Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Ball, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.
Those things were deadly. ;-)
I had one of those Evel Knieval wind up toys. I wound it up and stuck it in my sister’s hair. Man did I get in trouble for that one.
I haven’t heard of 1/2 of those.
And I’m an old geezer.
My favorite toy was a cloth doll that my mother made. It had movable arms and legs, held on with buttons, yarn hair, an embroidered face, and a full wardrobe, also homemade. I literally wore it to rags.
Mom made me two more dolls, Raggedy Ann and Andy, but they just weren’t the same.
Vibrator football.
Anyone remember “Foto-electric Football?”
I had one of those when I was 9. When the box came after what seemed like weeks and weeks, I was disappointed at the size of it, and even more at the “army” itself.
I did some courtesy play with it, since I had nagged my parents to insanity before they finally relented and got the thing for me. But its playtime life was very short.
I had one of those Creepy Crawler ThingMakers when I was 6 years old. I don’t remember playing with the bugs, I was just fascinated by the process of them hardening to rubber when they cooked.
I can’t imagine any modern parent getting something like that for a kid that age.
I also had a small wood saw (it fit my 6 year old hand), which I would use to cut slots into the edges of wooden furniture. We had a table in the den with slots all along its front.
When I was 8, I got a woodburning set. By then, I had tired of altering the furniture... although I *did* use my pocketknife (which I got when I was 11) to carve faces into the headboard on my bed.
Kids these days just don’t get fun toys.
Occult is good too.
