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.

Our very favorite new pet at AS&S goes by his Japanese name, Hamasuta, and runs around and around in his translucent, 5" dia plastic ball. Or you can take the happy little hamster out and watch him scurry all over the place, redirecting when he hits obstacles, like a tiny, furry roombot without the vacuuming. He's 3-1/2" long, in authentic beige and white with little pink ears and nose. Packs an enormous amount of cute into a small furry package. You add (1) "AAA" battery.

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.
A rather dumb looking 6" bird with a felt covered head and has plastic feet. Worse, he cannot get his fill of water. You buy the drinks. Fluid inside 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 it, not fondle it!!

The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.

Be the only kid on your block with a remote-control extraterrestrial zeppelin. Might even be life-sized, depending upon the planet it's from. The blimp is 54" long when filled with helium (available at helium stores everywhere) and glows from inside with multi-colored strobe lights. Has a wireless remote with forward, reverse, up and down controls, a 40-foor range, dual props, a gondola with a sky hook to pick up the cardboard aliens, ballast weights, and a landing base. Motors take a 3V Lithium battery, which we're including, and you add (2) "AA" batteries. Good hoverer.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The manufacturer calls these "Crazy Gliders," but they don't glide so much as they lurch. We know lurching, and these are nice lurchers. Lurch and wander all over the floor in an amusing, nearly unstoppable, random search for…something. You get a battery-powered (a single "AA" that you add) off-center 3-1/8" motorized plastic ball that you stick under a lightweight 7-1/2" plastic eyeball or human brain shell. Add a cat and the fun is just beginning. The brain would also make a nice mold for gelatin treats, and the eyeball is worth sticking on, well, anything you want to keep an eye on. Or stick the little ball under a baseball cap, or anything else lightweight, and make your own fun.

You know the one-big stupid grin, chatters, jumps up and down, pounds really annoying cymbals together and won't stop…an American classic. The originals from the '50s bring $75 or so on Ebay, but you can get your own brand-new, latter-day cymbal-clanging primate in a little red hat for a fraction of that. Approx 7-1/2" tall, runs on (2) "AA" batteries (not included) with a power switch under his monkey bottom.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
This is Philip’s new favorite toy, since he blasted a rocket so high over our parking lot that he lost sight of it (the rocket, not the parking lot). The Air Burst™ Rocket system has a 26” tall, air–powered tri–pod launcher made of plastic and rigid foam. A 65” long air hose connects it to any stand–up bike pump. After a few pumps, the air pressure bursts a replaceable booster disc in the launcher and sends a 10” x 3/4” dia rocket 250 to 1000 feet into the air. Wow! The system includes the launcher, (2) rockets, and (60) boosters (two different weights). Sending rockets out of sight, even if they usually come straight back down, is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra rockets. Our each is a pack of (2). And having extra rockets is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra booster discs. Our each is another bag of (60). No bicycle pump? The 18” black Tech Team pump blew majestically through a “double bozon” booster for us! It creates up to 120 lbs of pressure while most pumps will only generate 80 psi. It fits a Schrader (American) valve. Warning: The Air Burst™ Rocket is for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision. Don’t let us catch you out there without a kid!

AKA hand boiler. An exotic bit of hand blown glass with a bulb at top and bottom connected by some zippy tubing that spirals, loops, and/or jogs. In the closed system is some colored liquid (methyl chloride) that is very light. Hold the lower bulb in you hand and as the air in the system is warmed it pushes the fluid through the loops to the upper chamber. When all the liquid is pushed out of the lower bulb, expanding air will bubble through the tubing making it appear that the liquid is boiling. WARNING! The glass is fragile and the liquid is nasty. If you drop the thing on e.g. the kitchen tile, it will eat the finish off the tile and the stain in the liquid will permanently stain the floor. So don't let kids handle this item unsupervised. About 7" tall, it is a favorite in our stores.

Our finest-ever insane dancing chicken. Makes our last dancing chicken sound like the Boston Philharmonic. This foot-tall fowl clucks, flaps and dances to the "Cluck Cluck Polka" (by Polka Association Hall-of-Famer Frank Liszka) in an out-of-control frenzy. But wait, there's more. Grab it by the throat and choke it, and it makes, well, the sounds that a throttled chicken would make.You add a quartet of "AA" batteries. (Open the chicken suit in the back to insert.) On/off switch under the chicken, press the left wing to activate. Choke at will.
