Hi

Over here in the UK the wacky wall walkers were made of a sticky rubbery compound which you threw at a wall or whatever and they sort of like crawled down it. I think you`re right, most of them were of the octopus type.

My parents can`t even remember me having one of these walker things which i`m going on about... ...aaaarghhh.!

I hope i didn`t dream it!

Thanks for your reply`s.

Take it easy

those magic octopus toys are the only things i can remember, dont think i've ever seen those hinged things before.

I remember these well but only because of this thread otherwise I would have gone to my grave Not remembering theses well. (Hell I need this Forum!)

I had some Wall walkers and had great fun racing down windows with my mates, much to the annoyance of my Mum who would complain about the finger and hand prints, which she only really seemed to notice as visitors were arriving.

The silicone rubber Octopus type malarkey came latter and would stop sticking if you had a shag pile carpet at the bottom of your French Door.

Did anyone else pinch raw bacon out of the fridge to eat.....Or is it just me!

According to the Victoria and Albert Museum Websight, the Toy was called "WALL WALKERS™ RACE GAME", and was (manufactured) ©1973 by Denys Fisher - made in Hong Kong, surprise!
