I need the name of a toy

Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody remember those little clear plastic waterfilled toys that had two buttons that you would press and they would make a little ball go up and do weird things (basketball style setups)? What are those called? I need the name of those thingies, or where I can see a selection of them online for purchase.

thanks!

IIRC, those were called "Wonderful Waterfuls," or something like that and were made by TOMY. I had both the basketball and ring toss versions in the late 70s.

I remember the basketball & tic tac toe ones, but that was so long ago, your best bet is Ebay. Atoz is right on the name.
