Subject: remember that kid's toy?
Written By: kdog2k2 on 04/26/06 at 11:00 am
might even have been from the late 80's.
what it was was this big plastic ball surrounded by "spikes". well blunt spikes, so they were more like legs. and when u switch it on, the whole thing vibrates like crazy, so when a kid is holding on to it, it's trying to vibrate out of his hands, and when he drops it on the ground, it bounces away in all these crazy random directions.
does anyone remember what that toy was called? or that it existed other than me?
(it was recently shown on american inventors for like 5 seconds, where the guy infused an alarm clock to it)

I used to have one back then. It was cool how it went all over the place. It was around 1993 or 1994.

Totally remember it! Thought it was pretty cool. I used to like playing with it at the toy store (they had ones with batteries in them that you could try out).

Definitely remember it. They always had it on in a case bouncing around in front of the K-B toys places.

Yeah, I remember it. It was a very pointless toy, yet I loved to play with it. My cat sure enjoyed it too ;D

Yeah actually, I used to play with it at my K-B toys....btw they recently shut down my K-B toys store. Another piece of my childhood in the 90s, dead.
