When that came out I remember thinking how real everything looked.

Hey man, slap bracelets promote violence.

I used to take the cloth like covers off and slap people with the bare metal. It sometimes left cuts.

If you used AIM at all in the late 90s/early 2000s, you either had an icon from badassbuddy.com or a friends list full of people who did:







As far as I was concerned, this was the apex of comedy and artistic skill when I was 10.

If you think the last year of the 90's counts as the 90's...

A lesson also learned by the comic book industry around the same time: If you market something as collectible and promise it's value will go up in the future, you can bet every cent you have that it loving won't.

Also see Baseball cards from the early 90's. Remember the card books that showed the price of cards, it looked like the stock pages of the newspaper.

Reminds me of THE ULTIMATOR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7GG57caQDY

What the ad does not demonstrate is two things:

1) This toy is loud as hell

2) It has an extremely long range and is fully strong enough to knock a small child over.

And you had to pump the handle like 12 times. I had one and put a laser pen (that cost me over $50 in the 90's) on the little sight thing on top. I wish I still had it because they go for $150 on ebay now.
