Great post Andy.

I knew that the Furby was full of nice toys.

I have been on the look out for some, but none have shown up in any of my garage sale ventures.

It was toys like these that finally convinced the old Soviet Union that they could not keep up with the West.

Many of our toys had better electronics in them than some of the old Soviet era military electronics.

At least the H-Bridge in this one looks like a better design .. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-8fc32082-ad42-4a09-9415-842f7746a2f3/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Some of those old electronic toys were a masterpiece of engineering and interfacing.

I thought it was a simple kids toy. That is a lot of actions.
