I got one of these for Christmas when I was like 6. You threw it up in the air like a javelin and a parachute deployed, bringing it down; like that ever happened in the cartoon. [:(]
correction: It wasn't a cartoon, it was a puppet show.

Then they came up with this: Dan'l Boone was a man, was a reeeel man, etc.

But if you're going to bring up Johnny Quest, I'll just have to trump you with Space Ghost. I still want that wrist thing with the buttons on it!
