pretty cool paul! i'd have loved it as a kid. i was a total tomboy and loved boy toys (not the same kind of boy toys as i like now 😜 ). i had a bunch of tonka equipment i played with all the time.

OK, so I loved the remote control car my dad gave all of us one year for Christmas more than the Barbie I got. So you would think I might have liked this. But the commercial just looked like the trailer for a movie where you know exactly what's going on and you don't have to spend the $12.50 to see the actual movie.

I don't want to have to set up my explosions, I want instant gratification! Although the flip stairs were pretty cool.
