The Fisher Price one with the clown inside was a bit freaky, due to the noise it made.

did not think they would sell for that much heather.
cant remember what they cost us when we where kids.

just shows these old toys never go out of fashion.

how many toys nowadays will still be sought after in another 20 plus yrs.

Re: Jack-in-the-box

It wasn't his face that was scary, he sort of make a squeaky screening squealy noise as you pushed him down into the box, almost as if he was protesting
Then there was a tab/button thing you pushed down to hear him squeak/squeal but the button wasn't half as bad as the noise of pushing him down.
