Giant Iguana
Life size Green Iguana, 3 ft. long from nose to tail. His tail is turned so he only takes 2 ft. of branch (or shelf) space. He weighs a hearty 3lbs. We have seen these guys being sold for food along the roadside in Central America, and we swear you could not tell it from the real thing--except that there they have Blue Iguanas. Not pretty, but not meant to be. The lizard fan in your family will fall in love at first sight. Hard rubber, beautifully painted.

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.

Just Plane Handy
Our 3-1/2" long mini-plane fits easily into the palm of your hand, and is set at about a 35° angle, making it an all-purpose cross between a block plane and a bench plane. The 1" wide blade adjusts for height in a heavy little cast-iron body. Handy for close work and models; even handier for a little light leveling when you don't need go to the basement for one of the big guns.

Boogie Bot
Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance; to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Light 'n' Laser Twofer
A bright little flashlight with (8) super-bright white LEDs in a circle and a less-than-5mW red laser right in the middle. One click and it's a flashlight, another click and it's a laser pointer.

Measures 4-3/8" long x 1-1/8" dia in dark silver, red or blue aluminum with knurled grips at both ends, and comes with a black-canvas belt pouch and a wrist strap.

You Can't Be Too Thin
Or too useful. Our pocket pal proves it. Credit card height and width and a skinny 1/4" thick, this little wonder has a pair of white LEDs on one edge, a red laser, a small hidden ballpoint pen, a pair of folding scissors, a 3"/8cm ruler/straight edge, and (and this is the really cool part) a 2-1/4" long flex-neck LED that pulls up out of the top. Call it the smallest gooseneck lamp in captivity. Runs of a pair of button cell batteries, included.

Fun On The Fridge
Even as you read this, our office refrigerator is playing all by itself. Yours could, too, if you had this extremely cool set of automatic working-gear fridge magnets. Very instructive for budding engineers, just plain fun to watch, and, we assume, amusing for the ice box itself. You'll get (20) 3/8" thick plastic gears in assorted neon colors, all of which interlock in various patterns and turn all by themselves, driven by the 5" dia x 2" thick motorized gear/picture frame that runs on a couple of "AA"s that you provide. Gears include (7) at 4-5/8" dia and 3-1/2" dia and (6) at 2-1/2" dia. Buncha bright stickers included at no extra cost.

Egypto-Chess Laser Game
Board games meet Ramses in the 21st century. Khet, The Laser Game, is played on an 80-square grid with a pharaoh and obelisk playing king and pawn, sort of, plus a mirrored pyramid and a wandering "djed," and it's chess-like, except for the lasers firing from the corners and bouncing off the mirrors. The board measures 17-3/8" x 14-1/4" x 1-1/4" tall and the game is over when the pharaoh gets zapped. Includes (4) "AAA" batteries. For (2) players, ages 9 and up. Double the fun by adding the Eye of Horus Beam Splitters to the basic game (our each is a set of 2), and fire two lasers where there was a single one.
