So back in the early '90's I had a handfull of these. One of my favorites was Boney Tossteeth But they all had cool names: Spittooey Sooey Biff Barfball Tyranosaurus Retch Sharkey Skullsquirt Croaky Bugchuck Count Heave a Heart Retch a rat Tomcat. My brother and I got a kick out of shooting these at each other. They share a kindred spirit with madballs, imo. The same creator I think. I found this site with these and other pictures. http://www.ne.jp/asahi/techno/drome/toyblurpballs.htm and here's the commerical found on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf4xyJShJhI does anybody remember these? and better still, still have some you want to let go of? if so, I'm your man.
They retch it, you catch it! These are so completely awesome. I don't remember these, but man I'd love to have some. Good luck finding some yourself. Pickleloaf is going to crap when he sees these.
Kid's toys today fucking suck. I'm glad I grew up, in what I believe, is the greatest toy era ever (mid-to-late 80s / early 90s).
I couldn't agree more. I'd say it was tied with the 60's though, some weird/awesome shit hit in the 60's. Anyway, Count Heave a Heart is a MUST! Awesome post, thanks I totally forgot about these dudes.
The paradoxical thing is alot of todays kids toy ideas are japanese franchises. Pokemon, power rangers. Ok these were yesterdays kids toys but they sucked.
@paulievinyl-yeah these are right up pickle's alley. @count-i'll have to keep my eyes peeled. i'm into bargains these days. not looking to loop off an arm for one. @jcrazy-yeah def has the madball vibe going on. @bansheebot-today's toys lack the charm and gross out qualities of the stuff back in the 80's @bd- so many good toys out there from so many time frames. marx, mego and of course the crazy japanese tin and vinyl. count heave a heart was one of the ones i had. he always made such a nice sound when he upchucked his heart at ya. @germs-my nephew was big into pokemon. but it was nothing that a few good star wars figures couldn't cure. these aren't from my 'regular' childhood per se. this was in my early college years, and we called 'em our "trip toys" for a reason.
Grew up? Shit, I was going into college during that era Didn't stop me from buying toys though! Yeah, I totally remember these. do you remember the commercial? As soon as I saw the title, this commercial popped into my head
