Man I wanted those things so bad. I was really young when they were available, but I have memories of playing with them in person. Maybe my older brother had them.
Wow, I would have been the perfect target age for those toys and I would have loved them - why don't I remember ever seeing an ad for them? They would have been the coolest toys ever, way better than my stupid hot wheels track.
Thanks! It's from the episode where Bubbles loses a tooth, which is one of my favorite episodes, even though (rather ironically) I can't remember the name of it. I was watching it on either Google Video or YouTube and had to grab that screencap for an icon because I loved Buttercup's expression so much.
I think the episode is the whole tooth, or nothing but the tooth, or something like that.... if you find it, there's a complete series boxset... when I bought it, it was priced at an afforable 40.00
If only there'd been somebody around to do that when Chuck Berry started singing the damned song. They played it at least 24 times a day on the station I couldn't get away from.
That's a fairly broad range of characters for the 60s. I'd be one of the kids who just love watching them putt along the tracks.
Must admit that I love the completely ineffectual punching of the boxers; they could be standing gut-to-gut, and still not hit each other. The only thing that could make the Spybot better is if the crotch-cam really took pictures. *SPROING* *CLICK* "Surprise!" Imagine the album of WTF reaction you could amass!
