I just had a flashback to 33 yrs ago when I used to play with this toy. Wow. That's a weird feeling. I'd love to see it again in person (and share it with my son, of course).

My daughter would LOVE this! She'll take anything and put it up to her ear and pretend to talk.

I've been really into the vintage gifts for my son this year. He'd love this! (okay, so would I)

Maybe my kids would leave MY phone alone if they received this. ;) It was one of my fav's as a child.
