Hi: Let me share with you some of my thoughts and tipsabout Japanese battery operated toys vehiclesof the 50s and 60s.
Being a child of the 60sIhad a few battery operated toys and I enjoyed them all. My favorite was the Cragstan Thunderbird with the hard top that would rise and lower back into the trunk. It had a wired remote and steering.Well, time moves on andthe yearshas a way of making things disappear.
In the 90s okay came along and now once again I own my childhood favorite.
oftentin toys were recycled from other items
