Wheelie-Feet Wind-Up
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

Love Meter
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.

Ga-Booooiiiiiinnngggg!
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.

Van de Graaffish Fun
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
If Marty McFly had had this fun electricity kit he'd never have gone back to the future in the first place. Includes a foot-long, wand-style Van de Graaff generator (the Fun-Fly-Stick") plus a plethora of assorted plastic and foil supplies, along with a 22-page instruction book so you can bend water, levitate shapes, power a neon lamp, run an ion motor, make a Leyden jar and a lot more. All you add is a couple of "AA" batteries, because the electricity has to come from somewhere. For ages 14 and up.

Cymbalic Monkey
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

Rube Goldberg Lives!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
And in the kitchen. Lose the pics of the dog and build your very own marble track device on the fridge door. Comes with (11) pieces: (2) 8" and (2) 6" rails, (2) curvy 11" switchback rails, a "tornado funnel," a 3" dia spinning wheel, a couple of counterweighted spinning buckets and a catch box--all held on by magnets--plus a dozen marbles, because you're going to lose a few under that fridge. It's all done in high-fashion lime green and purple plastic and if mathematics works, there ought to be 100 possible Goldbergian combinations. CJ calls it very cool, and we trust him.

Parachuting Screaming Monkey
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The biggest improvement ever in flying screaming monkey technology. This 8-inch primate launches slingshot-style just like his slightly larger cousin and screams just as monkishly, but instead of landing with a sickening thud, he floats gently to earth in his own 20" dia parachute. A must-have for Screaming Monkey fans.

Look Ma! No Tangles!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Introducing the Aeromax 2000. This update of the classic parachute toy has mesh under the canopy instead of lines, so it's tangle-free. Big 20" chute floats the little 3-1/2" tall trooper gently to the ground. In assorted colors, which we'll pick because we have really good color sense.

The Other Big Bang Theory
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.

The Happiest Hamster
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Our very favorite new pet at AS&S goes by his Japanese name, Hamusuta, 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.

Metalpecker
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Behold our version of the gravity-fed sliding woodpecker. Ours is a 1-3/4" standard black woodpecker, not counting his cute red plume, slowly pecking his way down a 16-1/2" tall metal rod. His super-rapid, lifelike pecking action is strangely compelling to adults, and draws belly laughs from toddlers!
