RC R2

Mantooth — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 05:00:00 +0000

I had the remote control R2D2 as a kid, it stopped walking pretty quickly but it was still good to use with the 12″ dolls so I was content, also it still made it’s beeping noise much to mother’s chagrin. She once threatened to throw it out of the station wagon!

We have a PodCast! It’s fun, please listen.

Dawn of the Super Jocks

Schaper Toys had a real hit in their hands in 1975 when they released “Super Toe Football” the first of their “Super Jocks” line of toys. So by 1978, it should come as no surprise that they had expanded into other events such as Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Hockey.
