Subject: What was this 80's ball toy called?
Written By: Diamond_Doll on 05/12/03 at 05:48 p.m.
Does anyone remember this toy from the late 80's? The toy was a large rubber ball with a plastic ring around it that you would stand on and jump up and down. Imagine the planet Saturn with its rings. That's sort of what the toy resembled. You would place your feet on the ring and sort of press your ankles around the ball to keep it from slipping. Then you would bounce up and down. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like a newer toy, called the X Pogo.

I did a general search on the internet for the X Pogo and found a pic of one. It definitely looks like a new version of the original. The new version was black and gray but not like the brightly colored one from the 80's. ;D

HI I USED TO LOVE THIS TOY AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ONE FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW BUT HAD NO LUCK :(
MINES HAD A GREEN DISC THAT I STOOD ON WITH AN ORANGE BALL IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BALL IT SAID IN BLACK WRITING DISCO BALL THEN IT ALSO HAD OTHER WRITING BUT CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT SAID :-/
I NEVER KNEW WHAT THE BALL WAS CALLED UNTIL I LOOKED UP 80'S TOYS AND THE POGO BALL WAS ON IT BUT THE COLOURS WERE NOT THE SAME IN THE PICTURE IT WAS MORE OF A BLACK BALL AND A WHITE DISC WITH A LITTLE COLOUR ON IT :-/
I THINK THIS WAS MORE FUN THAN THE POGO STICK MIND YOU I COULD NEVER GO A POGO STICK AS I KEPT ON FALLING OFF. THE POGO BALL WAS MORE FUN AND IT KEPT YOU IN SHAPE AND WAS BRIGHTLY COLOURED :)
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT OTHER NAME THE POGO BALL GOES BY OR WHERE I CAN GET ONE IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED AS I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE THANKS ;D

It was called a Pogo Ball. I had a "Lolo" ball---a cheap imitation to the Pogo Ball, even though my parents insisted it was the original version :-/
Nevertheless, I still had fun with it.
BTW, I thought I was just a weird kid when I thought that the Pogo Ball looked like Saturn.
