It was like some furry thing with a long nose and eyes that was on a string and you used to move it around, like it would spin around your arm or something...

Is it this blob?

Totally forgot! My brother had one of these and made me very jealous..



This really was IT!

That's the one!

Think we may have had the cheapo knock-off from the market though..

Just like I had the cheapo knock-off Rubik's Cube too..

[Sargento]

Oh my God, talking bout cheap knock offs ... these were everywhere in the late 70s!

Pathetic!

These were called "Furskins" ... oooh errrr! Think the creators must have been pissed when they thought of that name!

Wow! This was my ultimate prezzy when I was young. I loved this film viewer. I remember cranking the handle and looking through the viewfinder to watch about 2 minutes of actual films! I remember having Disney's Robin Hood, Snow White and one with some stunts on! Fantastic .. and inside was actual 8mm film!

Oh yes! We had one of those as well!

[Sargento]

Oooh OOohh Oooh they just keep coming!!!

it's the advert for this that stands out!!!

"I vant to bite your finger!" (But in a Transylvania accent of course!)

I think you had to put your finger in a hole in the front of the game and push a button ... if your finger came out with red teeth marks on it .. you had been bitten by Drac!!

Always wanted a Werebear when I was a kid but never got one. They were a normal looking teddybear until you lifted up the face to reveal a terrifying werebear underneath! The only flaw to this was that the werebear was only marginally more scary than the normal teddy bear and by the time you'd messed about the 'innocent victim' had usually lost interest and walked off . Didn't stop me wanting one though...
