RC R2

[RSS]

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.

Tobor! There's one that had slipped right out of the front of my mind for a few decades... Matt Keuper had one and I was super jealous. He also had a Max Machine, which was slightly less cool to me, and the Man-Bat Power record, which we wore down to a flat surface through repeated listens.

That 66 Batmobile almost blends in looking innocent there. Nice.

I never had the R2 but did have the Tobor ("Robot spelled backwards!" as the TV advertisement said), he was pretty cool.

I really wanted that R2 as a kid, but all I got was the Batmobile.

Ach, I recall Tobor, he looks cool.
