Subject: Anyone know the name of this toy?
Written By: Kimberly on 10/18/02 at 01:09 a.m.
I cannot figure out the name of this toy I had when I was young. It's square in shape and filled with water with tiny balls in it. You press the button located on the front, pumping air inside to try and get the balls into slots. You could get the game with different designed slots inside each one. I'm not sure but the game may have come in different shapes too, I can't recall. Mine was square. Anyone know? Thanks

I had something similar except mine had a little basketball in it and basketball hoops, and you pressed the button to pump the air in and try to get the balls in the hoops. If I remember right, there was also a football and soccer one too.

I beleive they still sell them at retails stores if I can remember. I was in a toy store not 5 months ago picking up a supply of Silly Putty (addicted to it) and I swear i saw them there. Can't remember the name brand though.
peace

Well, I know Tomy made ones you had to fill yourself, but you didn't really pump air in so much as just push the water around. The ones we had were from garage sales, but pretty sturdy stuff.

Um, not sure. I had one of them, though.
It had little guys in scuba gear and you had
to get them into little submarines. Man,
what are those things?!
