gotta love the internet. i've carried the memory of this toy around in my head for apparently 49 years. i remember getting it for christmas and somebody winding it and setting it off. i'd never felt so scared! i started crying and wanting the noise to stop. it has stayed in my head all these years. now i just have to find that dinosaur that would walk and you had to shoot it with a a rubber dart gun. that one freaked me out just as much.
My favorite Christmas toy of 1960. I was 3, and my father insisted on taking it apart to show my how, and it took him 6 hours to put it back together. I cried all day!
What's sad about this toy?
The guy who inveted it (a CEO) was constantly harassed by his shrewish wife who complaned "You have no time for me! Your'e a company machine!!"
Stung by this rebuke he created...
