Oh my goodness! I remember those! I never actually owned one, but it was advertised on an old Pound Puppies video I used to have when I was small..

Not me. They were recalled though, so they are a bit hard to come by as alot of places won't let you sell them.

I have my childhood one still, but I don't collect them. They are really neat though

I think I had three or four as a child, but I'm not sure where they are at. I'm sure they are not in the best condition. I was really bad about chasing people around and making her spin and smack them.

Yes! I think I had 2 when I was little, a pink one and a green(?) one. I really liked them, but not as much as ponies

What do they look like?

I remember wanting one, and the next door neighbour had one, and a few years back ive seen a few at garage sales or at value village.

They were recalled though..I think there was a safety hazard with the moving parts?

[Phekzhen]

Apparently they had male versions, with bugs and dragons and stuff, and one of my friends had them. Even when I was little, I was aware how dangerous these things were.

As a Cracked.com article said:

To the untrained, uninjured eye, this toy might not seem so harmless on the surface. It's got foam propellers that look about as huggable as a propeller can look and it's too big for a toddler to stuff halfway down their esophagus. However, when activated by a pull cord, it becomes a hyper-kinetic missile searching for the vulnerable parts of anyone within a 3-foot radius. And, since it requires the kid who pulls the chord to stand within a foot of it, there's always a good chance it will be the kid bending his face directly in its whirring propellers of death who will feel the brunt of its fury.
The CSPC received over 150 reports of injuries caused by the toy, including scratched corneas, temporary blindness, broken teeth, face lacerations, a broken rib and even a mild concussion. The toy was pulled off the market before it had a chance to reenact the propeller scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

They were also redone around 2005 but those ones were made safer (No longer could you aim them any way except up. If you tilted them they wouldn't launch.) so they didn't get recalled. The facial style of the newer ones was more anime like and they didn't really last.

I don't collect them, but my friends had a few of them.  My mom would always scream when we'd shoot them off, because they reminded her of birds (which she's terrified of, lol).

[Sonata]

I still have mine ! I'll have to take some proper pictures of them, but they are also complete

[invaderhorizongreen]

I will take a pic an post it tomorrow thanks.

My sister and I used to play with those things all the time. She'd always aim for my head. :p We have two, I think...I remember when those got recalled, too...
