Cord is way to short. The fun part would be to have him go to the other side of the room to pick up something and bring it back to you. The short cord would kinda ruin that.

Great video, such fun times !

I had this.❤❤ I had the best parents.

Wow! What an engineering marvel this toy was!

Not gonna lie - the "Motor sound" sounds a lot like an old Detroit 2-stroker!

I have the dick Tracy one now and I got it from the aquarium so not like that’s gonna be you soon actually it’s gonna last a long time I don’t care and we’re not dropping my toys lol I’m good I think I would drop my controllers for stuff like my VR

All right so let’s get this here I am 88 and I have a tummy boost it’s actually pretty decent it has the backside to the front site but just half of that man seen all the front in the back and on the side I meant or broken pretty decent tell me first

i will give you 90000000000 cap for the two guns

I had one!

Thank you for this. For years I was explaining this terribly scary toy to my wife and we decided to Google it over breakfast today. I never knew his name but he scared the heck out of me! I got him from my older brother when I was probably three or four and he scared the heck out of me. He was like a zombie that wouldn’t stop. I never saw him rear up because I was out of the room when that happened! Wow, I never thought I’d see my nemesis again! Thanks again and down with Dandy! 😂

OMG I have not see this in years I had one when I was a little girl. My friend Clancy :)

Just Wow 😮 This video served as a time machine.

Thanks for this! Came awfully close to that table edge…. How about a Mr. Machine demo?

Back when toys were cool

Howard Stern just ranted about this again, so I had to come check it out. 😂

Bet you had to put new batteries in once a week, Stern was right it was a POS!

Garloo has arthritis....

My sister & I also had one when it first came out! We loved it so much!

I had the same one! Thanks for sharing I loved seeing it again!

I had one. I was thinking about the old TV show 'The Tycoon' with Walter Brennan where one of these was featured as a potential 'secret weapon' .

I have the original. It's actually easier to do it using the joystick. The linkages have a bit too much play in them, but having at least the affirmative point of the base seems to steady it.

The 'IDEAL'.... Toy Co back in 1960 become known for making great quality durable toys & I had a few of them as a kid. Now 73, yet I recall every single one of them. The king to me was, 'The Astro Base'....it js the best & most fun toy I ever had. The TV commericals on Saturday mornings for this toy.... garnered ALL my attention for a 9 yr old. All my friends wanted to play with it all the time. The real "Space Race' was a big deal to America vs the USSR back then thus the reason for these space toys coming out. It was $19.95...which was not a cheap toy in 1960. I also had a toy by Ideal named "Countdown"....another motorized space toy that launched diff types of missles with a timer 'countdown' in it till launch. Both of these toys came with the same yet optional choice to purchase the 'Space Helmet' to wear while playing. I did not want it...looked to much like a very younger kids toy...of course at then age of 9.... I considered myself to be an older kid 😄. I did not realize back then that 1960 was in middle of the best years of Americana ever had.....to this day. I do realize it now. I was soo very fortunate to grow up in that era...IT WAS A WOW!!... IN EVERYTHING!.... DECADE...it was so very special....cannot ever explain it to others....you would have to live it to know it. EVERYONE truly cared about each other in those days! I could live in that decade forever..& be quite content.

Joe Biden’s cadence when he walks

10:36 Coolest toy I ever had. I was 5

It Was Funny😂

I had one back in the day. Mine was yellow too. They made an orange one as well

That bell had To drive parents nuts

I have you can take a part and put back together again

I had one when I was a kid. Most part's broken before Easter.. Salvage the camera and parascope

If it has plastic gears, a Teflon-based lubricant would be best. I wonder if any kids who had Garloo and home movie equipment made a movie about Garloo - expanding on the TV commercial of Garloo derailing an HO train.

There's one on eBay right now for $450 shipped lol. Honestly if you're a toy collector that's probably a decent investment

...I wanted that set soo badly, but I already had a number of Mattel Fanner 50s AND the Mattel Winchester 92

I absolutely loved my Astro Base

Of course they are always broken. We used the hell out of them and loved it.

This video is older then most Gen Alphas

Very nice. I remember we had these guns just laying around the house broken and stepped on all the time.

I had one, my parents must of tossed it because I can't imagine ever doing so.Your commentary sounded like it came from a CIA director. Nice touch.

Had one and Johnny seven and Johnny eagle, you should see what I have now.

I had one as a kid

Haven't seen it since.... wow that's a long time ago 😅

Holy Crap Batman!!! What a find!!! I so remember this

I think these toys are really testaments to children and their imaginations. Because I never saw one in action until yesterday on your video - and I'll be honest, seeing it as a grown adult, my main impression is, man this thing is loud and slow-moving. But it just fascinates me that little kids could make so much fun out of this 😊 thanks for the video

OMG… I had this.. my mom just decided I didn’t need so many toys as a kid and they’d just “disappear” probably gone to some orphanage or something.. bit this was my favorite hand gun ever.. she wouldn’t even let me get the pictures developed.. batteries? Hell once the first set wore out that was it… no batteries.. lol..

Giving kids military training without their knowledge 😮

Amazing!

Imagine pulling this out on the table

I had one of these as a child. We immediately took off the remote control because it was a POS. Lastly, we left the spring loaded device in the cannon and put the cannon ball in the front so we didn't have to open the back at all, we just loaded it from the front.

I still have my 1962 Christmas present in original box with all the yellow balls , dart gun with all the darts that still have the rubber tips and all the original paperwork. wouldn't mind selling it, also there is no damage what so ever. as of 06-39-2023.

My brother and I got one for Christmas .

toy companies lost their creativity years ago
