The Flingshot Flying Pig screams and shoots across the room. The rubber neck allows it to shoot up to 50 feet through the air.

The Flingshot Flying Chicken is a hit with both kids and adults.  Aside from being a silly looking, this chicken actually screams and shoots across the room! All you have to do is insert your thumb into the pocket underneath the chicken's beak, pull back, and let it fly! The rubber neck allows it to shoot up to 50 feet while it cock-a-doodle-doos through the air!
— Ernie Wong, president of Playmaker Toys, told TDmonthly, "I think the best attribute to the Flingshot Flying Monkey is the interaction with the toy. It allows the user to be an active participant in the enjoyment it brings."

Slot cars and grandma? What do the two have in common (unless you have a granny who grew up in Southern California in the ‘60s)? This new high-speed senior citizen slot-car package takes the usually slow and infirmed, wheelchair-bound old fogies and turbo charges them for the track. We’re talking two grannies with rugs over their knees, 10-piece cross-over track (for dangerous navigating), remote controls, clip-on crash barriers (you don’t want those grandmas cartwheeling into the “stands,” do you?), and a whole lotta fun. They’re great for kids or old-age home retirees: Who says we slow down with age? The racers require four 1.5V AA batteries (not included). It’s been an excellent seller for Jumpin Banana, according to its sales staff, with an “excellent novelty value.”
