D-Day Crickets
KLEE-klik it says when you push the back of this little metal toy with the picture of a cricket on it. Sounds something like a real cricket, and just like the brass versions that U.S. paratroopers carried on D-Day for communicating in the hedgerows around Ste. Mare Eglise. Also just like the one Sister Mary Inviolata used to coordinate precision kneeling/standing exercises during our Confirmation practice, which was only slightly more organized than D-Day. You will get (6) cricket clickers for $2.95.

Sarcastic Ball
We've all seen those 4" dia balls that give answers to questions. Well this one does it with sarcasm: "Yeah, right," "Ask me if I care," and "Oh, please," are examples. As our regular customers know, we don't carry items like this, but sometimes we find them in our warehouse and list them just to get rid of them. So please help us out and buy yours now. Sure! (Sorry folks. Due to unforeseen circumstances the sarcastic ball is out til Jan. 2008.)

You're a Doll
And you need a backyard. So you can get out of the dollhouse once in a while, maybe entertain, sunbathe, garden a little. Our yard is about 1/12 scale, 18-1/2" x 13-1/4" with a 2" wooden fence and a latching gate, plus a winding path. Comes complete with a pair of long wooden planters to hang on the fence, another pair of 3-1/2" dia polyresin planting tubs that you could actually plant in, a 6" tall tool shed with a metal rake and shovel hanging on it, a round black metal table with (2) patio chairs, a birdbath (with bird), birdhouse on a pole, wheelbarrow, watering can, and (1) tiny, but entrancing, frog. All the fun of landscape design for the dollhouse crowd, but without the worms.

Creepy Cash Management
Combine creepy and greedy, and you have the wind-up coffin bank. Put a coin on the black-plastic coffin and watch the skull bob up, while the lid opens and the bony hand snatches the loot and drags it inside. Measures 6-1/2" long x 2-1/2" x 2". Think of it as an amusing way to save for your funeral expenses.

Cinema Vérité
Hey, Coppoletta! Add realism to your home flicks with a Hollywood director's slate board. This 8" x 7" version is wood, painted black with white lettering. The traditional striped arm on top cracks down on the palimpsest where you chalk in the Production, Director, Camera, Date, Scene and Take. Very Vérité

Historic Action Figures
How do you tell a real superhero? It ain't because he has kung-fu moves, or looks good in tights. The historical giants in our superhero collection, reduced to 5" to 6" tall plastic figures, wear their contemporary dress. Thus confined, they're limited to moving limbs and heads, with some being more motile than others. These superheroes are actual historical figures, though, rather than Hollywood heroes. Leonardo also comes with a 4-1/4" easel, plus a little frame with (4) interchangeable masterpieces to display. All the figures include fascinating facts and short biographies on the back of the package.

Huggy Jesus
Or maybe Cuddly Moses. This 16" tall, hirsute rag doll comes to us labeled Huggy Jesus, but frankly he has a look that reminds us more of a Rasta Raggedy Andy. In a red, blue and gold-trimmed outfit that looks sort of like Superman's PJs. Cute though, whoever he is.

Tornado Tube
Simple, yet clever 1" dia. by 3" long plastic device to demonstrate the vortex effect of a tornado. Partially fill with water one of the two half-gallon size plastic soda bottles which you supply. Screw the bottles into opposite ends of the tube which we supply. Tip so the full bottle is on top and give it a circular starting whirl. Presto! You have a vortex. Call it a tornado if you're a meteorologist, a Charybdis if you're a classicist, or a whirlpool if you're into oceanography. Lots of fun and a fine opportunity to attempt to explain the effects of the earth's rotation on water draining out of a bathtub. The phenomena are related we're told, but good luck!!

Back To Basics
It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

You Couldn't Read This...
If we'd written it with our new, gigacool blacklight marker pen with the UV LED on the other end. Unless you had one, too. It's 5" long and takes (4) LR41 button cells (included). If you ordered (2), you and your special friend could trade secret, invisible messages. Also great for UV tattoos or re-admission marks for parties and clubs, just like downtown.
