Childhood Memories... Old toys, games and antique school books!

1970's Hasbro INCHWORM Riding Toy!!!

Anyone else remember this one?

I recently ran across this inch worm riding toy on ebay and forgot it existed!! I used to ride on one of these in the mid 70's I'm guessing. I loved it!!  He was so lovable with the big smile, big blue eyes and cute yellow hat!  It made this clicking sound as you went. Ours is long gone of course, but if you still have yours from when you were a kid, consider yourself lucky! It is a hot collectible and goes for big bucks at ebay!

Only one up for auction that I can find (currently) so you know it must be very scarce! Already at $100 and 6 days to go!

 Item #190048506901

And check out this last one that went for nearly 300 bucks! Item #300042472841

Why don't they have cute toys like this nowadays? (Or do they?)

some toddler probably toppled over and bumped his head and sued Hasbro - notice everything now is so short and compact - certaily can't let kids be kids much anymore. Loved that inchworm. All of my nieces and nephews survived having one! Gee, wish we still had one to dig out of the attic! Good luck.

I had one too, he was my favorite. I wonder what happened to him??? I'll have to go look around in the attic at my Mom's house before the estate sale begins.

ohhhhhh..... I'm just now they will start reproducing them.....

like so many other toys they are bringing back.

and ya know who they are targeting.... the parents not the kids. because the parents are going to buy them because they remember how much fun they had with it when they were a kid....
