It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a screeching flying monkey to the rescue! And at a screechingly low price. Our hero is an 11" long stuffed monkey in superhero togs (a cape, and maybe a mask or hood, depending on his sartorial whim). Put two fingers in the little pockets on his paws, pull his bungee arms back, and let him go. He'll fly a good 25 feet or more, issuing hideous monkey screeches all the while, faster than a flying nun and able to brighten up a day in the office in a single bound.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
You're buying the drinks and this wacky, yet debonair, bird with a top hat and plastic base (7" tall OA) can't get his fill of water. Get him started, and he dips his beak into your glass repeatedly. How? Fluid inside his glass body condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately priced. WARNING! The fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain, and the bird's glass body can easily be broken. Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch him, not fondle him!! Manufacturer warning states this item is not intended for children 8 and under.

Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.

They'd be aces as sports banquet place cards.

It lights up, it flies, and it makes a satisfying bang when it lands. Doesn't create a new universe but you can't have everything for 20 bucks. The Big Bang Rocket is 15-1/4" long with 6" fins and an 18" tail. The 6" x 3/4" dia tube in the middle has 4-color internal flashing LEDs (powered by (3) "AAA" batteries, included). You fling it in the air by the tail, but first put a small piece of any paper (newsprint will do) in the rubber nose-cone and it will make a loud cap-gun-ish bang when it hits. Even if it hits grass, or sand. LEDs run for 60 seconds so you can find it during night landings.

You can't help but laugh at Larry the Slider, a green dancing fool who waves his jazzy little white-gloved hands, wiggles his head and drops into the splits when you wind him up. Push him sideways and he slides like a music-video fool. At 4" tall, with a smiley face and big yellow feet, he's definitely the funniest wind-up toy we have.
