I tried to pin this to the existing thread, but the server spat me out.
This video below is a Tyco Feels So Real Doll, that featured an anatomically
correct skeleton within the body. Yikes!

For the longest time I never knew Tyco did a US 1 line, now this!
PS: just joking about doing a DOTW thread; I am just surprised how Tyco was busting out in
so many directions, particularly towards the end of their corporate life.

Wow! I never knew that Tyco made dolls. Tyco was quite the toy company.

Tyco made those Tickle Me things? Those were the fad of the century
for a while. Never, ever understood the fascination. And Matchbox?
They held Matchbox???

I remember the line, "C'est qu'il laid, le bebe!" from Mr. Luipold's French
class from 1975. (What an ugly baby!) This is another Tyco product:

View Master?! You mean that double eye thing you looked in
at 3 D pictures on a cardboard wheel? Back in the day, we
thought that thing was the bomb.

Well, that has to go back to around 1965ish, for me-
thank you for jarring my memory bank. We really
had fun and were amazed with the View Finder
back in the day. I'd forgotten all about those.

well toy making lasted until 1997 when it was purchased by Mattel
On February 23, 2019, Terry Flynn announced that Tyco was now a registered trademark of his Harden Creek Slot Cars, LLC.
