Many little girls had Barbie dolls and other random baby dolls they would tote around, including myself. Yet I have to say, if I had one of these as a kid, I would have tossed out every single Barbie doll to get my hands on just one. Read The Full Story

The Green Machine H2O for drive by dousing

Abby McVay, Apr 21st 2008 Discuss [0]

As a kid I was always tagging along with my slightly younger brother. That typically meant that I didn't play with Barbies much, I had a big wheel and massive squirt guns as well as a few toy cars and some Ninja Turtles action figures. The best was always the squirt guns, although eventually it ended with one of us just making a break for it and grabbing the hose. Read The Full Story

A tiny TV just for her dollhouse

Abby McVay, Apr 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

Dollhouses are one of those things that even with the progression of technology many girls still love them. I still remember when my Dad bought me actual working lights for mine, I was completely mesmerized by technology making its way into my unwired wooden toy. For the record, even though that comment makes me sound old, I swear I'm still in my twenties. Read The Full Story

Waterbuoy keeps your stuff from sinking

James Allan Brady, Jan 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

This is nothing like the foam floaters that your local boat and/or bait shop used to pass out, no; this thing can keep up to a full kilogram afloat instead of the measly one or two keys of the foam key chains. At a full kilogram, you could almost use this thing to catch fish depending on how big they were. Read The Full Story

The Disintegrator Rubber Band Gun

Abby McVay, Jan 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

My brother and I tended to have all kinds of battles, usually involving Super Soakers, Nerf guns and the occasional rubber band gun. That is until one of us got mad or injured. Thankfully, my eye seems to have healed very well since they replaced it with this shiny new one. As a fully mature and responsible adult, I would still kick my brother's ass if given the chance. Which makes me drool with envy over a rubber band gun that could propel 288 rubber bands in his general direction. Read The Full Story
