Hmmmm....

I remember those. I remember fish/frog ones too. You'd pull a little beastie attached to a string out of their mouth and as the string was pulled in they'd swim, eventually eating the little beastie.

Oh wow! My little half-brother had these when he was little. He lived w/ my dad and his mom back in '79. He used to carry these things everywhere! And he wouldn't take his bath w/o them. I remember his mom went out to the car to get them while I was undressing him and trying to coax him into the tub. (he was 2 at that time). He kept repeating, "Mommy...Tubbies." I thought it was just a name he made up, I never knew that was what they were called!

I recall having one of those.
At bathtime, it invariably encountered my rubber sharks.

I had some of those, including the type with the little critter that ctc mentioned.

Why aren't these on the market now? My daughter would go nuts for these.

I often had my Action Man Deep Sea Diver in the bath tub with me. And a shark!

Then my wife said "you're 45 now, this needs to stop...."

Is Tomy pronounced like "Tommy" or "Toe-Mee?"

My freshman year in college, I worked in a store that exclusively sold wind-up toys. It was creatively called "The Last Wound Up." We sold these and a bunch of other tub toys. It was actually a decent part-time job.
