Subject: Vintage 80s toys - Big Rubber jumpy thing
Written By: She-ra on 12/16/05 at 12:46 am
Does Anyone know the name of that toy? It was like a big giant rubber ball with a handle on it. You would sit on it and jump up and down. Anyone remember the official name for that thing?
Looking for some fun interactive games for adult 80s party we're having...
Thanks!

Hmmm....I think I can remember a toy that you're describing...but I'm drawing a blank on the name of it. :-\\ I never owned one, though.

I didn't know they had one with antennas. I know about one with one handle that you hold on to with both hands.

I would have been 3 or 4 (late 70s) when I played with one at a chilcare centre. It definitely had two handles/antennae/ears to hold onto. :)
