We Tested Old vs New Childhood Products

Today, my friends, we're going to be

testing a bunch of products from our

childhoods and facing them off against

their modern equivalents to see where

things actually better back in the day

or is it all just nostalgia wiffle

waffle. Starting with

fidget spinner. Didn't you have your own

version of these?

>> No, my friends obviously looking at the

two of us, this is not from our

childhood. This person is going to get

older and older as the video goes on.

So, these were originally patented to

help with ADHD, autism, and anxiety.

>> Wait, you can't you can't just hit me

with that while I'm doing this.

[laughter]

>> Sorry, it's it's just ADHD and anxiety.

I added the autism.

>> [laughter]

>> Sorry to my dad when he made me.

>> You're thinking, right? These are new,

right? These are up to date. No, no.

There's actually a modern fidget

spinner. There's a new

>> Oh, that's

>> No, no, feel that. Feel it. Feel it.

>> I prefer a fidget cube. Do we have any

fidget cubes?

>> It's not we tested autism products.

>> Yeah, [laughter]

people would love that. Leave a like.

>> It's actually quite a good idea. Yeah.

>> [laughter]

>> Would we be allowed to do that cuz

you're representing, right?

>> I'm not diagnosed.

>> You can't You can't just kind of have me

as the autistic spokesperson of the

video. I'm not diagnosed. Are you

diagnosed, Mike?

>> Oh, hang on.

>> [laughter]

>> Good bit. This one's bad bit.

>> Oh, wait. No. Do you prefer the new one

or the old one? The old one.

>> Okay. Old.

>> Yeah, maybe it's not a good bit, bad bit

video. Sorry, guys. Sorry, boo.

>> Oh, but we want to be in the video,

please. We are only sentient when we are

shown on the screen. Please. [laughter]

>> Why are they Jim?

>> I don't know, actually.

Oh, it's looks arts and crafts. I'll get

all over it.

>> Oh, it's a Is it an Etch A Sketch? It's

an Etch A Sketch. Why didn't you say it

like that?

>> So, this is Crayola Spin Art. And

apparently, despite looking ancient,

it's from 2015.

>> Oh, yeah, I I smashed that, mate, well,

didn't

Well, this is this, isn't it?

>> I This is like I mean, this is

absolutely

This is

>> Should I go some blue ink, yeah?

>> Yeah, yeah, go, go, go. You ready?

>> Oh, yeah. Ready?

Oh, that's actually quite Oh, Oh,

>> Okay, yeah? You want to see our little

snowflake masterpiece?

All right, what what

Oh,

>> That looks far worse than what I thought

it would look. When you do this, it

looks great. And then

>> [laughter]

>> What the is that?

>> Is that or is that not your last album

cover?

>> Oh, come on.

>> [laughter]

>> Come on.

>> My god.

>> So, that's pretty rubbish. So, I wonder

what the new version of that is.

>> Oh, good god.

Drawing Beyblades.

>> You just put this on here.

>> And you what? What do you do?

>> You let it rip.

Let it rip. You get Don't get pen on the

>> Sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't mean

to. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so

sorry. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone.

>> Oh god, this brown sugar latte is

lovely, like, isn't it? [music]

>> Yeah, it is, isn't it? It's wonderful,

mate. That's how you

>> Uh you can get it in the meal deal at

Sainsbury's right now.

>> Also, I'm in Ireland and I really want

it in Ireland.

>> Yeah.

>> Says the Irish fan.

>> Oh, I'm in Ireland and I really want it.

>> [laughter]

>> Okay, I'll just do it.

>> Don't Right, okay. What do we reckon?

What but I think it's probably a win for

Old again.

>> Yeah, Old wins that. But, I like the

Beybladeness.

>> Oldie but goldie.

>> I'm a little mouse.

>> It's a great voice.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

>> Whoa.

>> Whoa, he's spitting on it.

What is it? Let me put him in my um

esophagus.

I don't trust this.

>> to get Shoot. So, James, this is from

2009. It's a hamster toy that would

squeak and zoom around. It boomed in

popularity in 2009.

>> It's kind of moaning.

>> What were you doing in 2009?

>> Your mom.

>> Oh, no, deploys. Don't stay together,

please.

>> Actually, that was in 2010.

>> Respect.

>> 2009 was a wonderful year.

>> Not for your parents.

>> Right.

If my mom came up to me in 2009 and

said, "Your dad and I won't be together

for much longer, but please don't blame

yourself." Would you blame yourself?

>> [laughter]

>> Just just positing that hypothetical

question [laughter] to the room.

>> Nice little guy. Do like him. Going to

keep Shut up.

>> That's just a little baby.

>> Just I just They just look demonic.

>> The drummer in my band keeps one of

these

>> in my band

>> Why do I Do I sound different today?

What's going on?

>> He keeps one of those on his bag and I

don't trust him.

>> Would you rather him have a little Irish

mouse?

>> No.

>> Okay.

>> [laughter]

>> So what to the crowd, Mikey?

>> The mouse.

>> The mouse!

>> [screaming]

>> It's another win.

>> Oh!

>> Woah, these are sick.

>> Ooh!

>> Oh, that's kind of fun. I thought it

would go a little faster, though.

>> So he vibrates his way up the

>> No, you can put that up your ass.

>> Oh, no, he's stuck.

>> That's incredible.

>> Mate, I know.

>> Holy sh-

>> That's so cool.

>> Woah!

>> Was this really expensive?

>> of looked like a poo, what I imagine a

poo looks like if your tubes were

see-through and you poo bugs.

>> How did we have this technology in 2007?

This is mega.

>> Can you get multiple Hexbugs?

>> Yeah.

>> So you just let them go to town.

>> Yeah.

>> It's like a a replacement for a hamster.

This is a better pet than a hamster.

Hold on.

No, no, no. Stop putting children's toys

in your bum.

>> a beaming smile in the next shot and

then you know why.

>> Wall-climbing T-Rex lizard, isn't it?

>> Wait. Wait. Wait.

>> Oh, yeah, climbing up all of our

flavors.

>> We could just use him to hide master, to

be fair.

>> Yeah, we

>> [laughter]

>> Oh, so he's a Hexbug as well. It's the

same company. They just fell

fell fell off.

>> Oh! I like the way his legs move.

>> I love the Hexbugs.

>> Yeah, but they were a

>> Also, where has it gone?

>> Give the Hexbug back.

>> I think the Hexbug old edition [music]

struggled with movement. Being more

active with the toy is important. Not

that there's anything wrong with a

passive

>> New wins. Cards.

>> Okay, so we've gone from 2007 to Surely

cards were invented centuries ago.

>> Let me have some words with you.

>> Yeah.

>> cards

>> Do you realize where this is going?

>> Look at this old-fashioned hat.

>> I'm going to go and film you. So, if

you're not familiar, viewers, you tell

them, Mikey. What What have you done?

>> There's a game, and it's called cardy

cardy flip game. And what this game is

is a portable party game you can take

anywhere and play with your friends. Cuz

what's the problem in the modern world,

James? What is the biggest problem in

the modern world?

>> That you're in it.

>> But also, people are on their phones.

Why not make the phone a social

occasion?

>> Why have we let him take control of the

doctor?

>> Because you're about to have loads of

fun.

>> So, stakes. If you win, extra day annual

leave. Uh if I win, both this weekend

days we're editing.

>> Okay. This is quite [music] serious now.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> And whoever wins, whoever gets first to

get the other side first.

>> Have you considered new skins of the

game with different themes?

>> Wow, perhaps that's going to come out

very soon. Perhaps around

>> Sorry, you you advertise rods every day.

>> It's my channel.

What's [music] your Saturday plans,

mate? Cuz sack them off, mate. It's a

9:00 a.m. start, you know.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> You ready? You ready?

>> Yeah!

>> [screaming]

>> All right, my friends. You can get that

on the App Store. Android and Apple.

It's good in the bath. No, I'm just

kidding.

Uh yeah. What new wins? Moon sand. I

wasn't allowed this. It was stuff you

put in the bath.

Yes. Is this where you put it underwater

and it stays dry?

>> No.

>> Oh.

>> Basically it's just sand.

>> This was a non-drying, moldable play

material. I swear you put this on and

what Can I have a glass of water,

please?

>> You can.

>> Thank you. You make molds of stuff.

Yeah, you've got that. You've got that.

Well done. You having a good time? Feel

like this is like

>> Huh?

>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> So, what's kinetic about the sand? But

it sticks together.

Yeah?

>> [music]

>> Woah!

>> Woah.

>> All right.

>> Do you know what's special about this,

right? Is you know when you put it in

water and then you take it out and it's

still dry?

Yes. No, it actually is. I think I think

it is. I think it is. Okay. So, you say,

"Oh, no. He's put He's put Oh, you got

big old hands, haven't you?" Oh, no.

Well, you see how I put the sand in the

in the in the

>> Look, the issue is the size of your

hand, not the

Jesus, man.

>> [laughter]

>> Stop it with the

sake.

>> But the sand doesn't go Oh, it's wet.

Oh, it's wet. Yeah, it is wet. It got

wet.

>> Yeah, that is very wet.

>> This is rubbish. Moon sand. What's wrong

with this?

>> you didn't treat the product like it was

meant to be treated.

>> Tell me this, is there anything good

about this? That whole thing is

>> Yeah.

>> 20 years later, is it any better?

>> It's still called kinetic sand. Slime

has become such a celebrated, famous

thing now. I wonder if the quality of

the sand has had to increase over time.

Okay, I actually thought that was a good

point. But if you want to laugh at me,

go ahead.

>> I've made us a little house, James. The

happy family house.

>> to move in.

>> Get a big amount in there, and then

let's let's see if this this little

child can be created.

>> I just don't get the point of kinetic

sand. The point is that it's green.

>> I think the point is that it doesn't dry

out, unlike Play-Doh does.

>> Does Play-Doh dry out?

>> Yeah, it goes like hard.

>> I ate it before it had the chance to get

dry.

>> Should we see this this child?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh. Well, child slowly pulling apart at

the seams.

>> Oh, that's not bad, actually. That's

quite good.

>> And then let's try and get rid of the

excess.

Are you eating it right now while I'm

trying to work out

>> Nowhere near as good as Play-Doh,

though.

>> I just want to see if I can get Oh. Oh.

Oh. That's actually kind of cool.

>> Oh oh oh, Jay.

>> Oh. Gone now. I'm in need dead.

>> We're going to go oh and you and I'm

going to keep

>> dead now, are you?

>> We're going to just move on.

>> We had a DS. I was Gameboy Advance. I

was Gameboy Color. Showing my age.

[laughter]

They were like, "It's so special that it

comes in color." I was that old.

>> Did you have a PSP? Did you have a PS

>> I did have a PSP. Very good.

>> Yeah, they were very good. Did you have

a PS Vita?

>> No. No, I was I didn't have Did you have

one of them?

>> Yeah, they were good.

>> So, we bought this off the internet.

This is a random person's DS.

Not a random person's games.

>> Are those yours?

>> These are This is my Pokémon Yellow.

Obelisk the Tormentor.

>> Are you Are you just doing this as a

show and tell? Do you remember doing

PictoChat when you were on a motorway

and you would like link up with other

kids?

Does the DS work?

>> No. I mean, no. Oh, it does. No! It's my

copy of Diamond that's dead.

No!

You have Swampert from 2004. It's dead

then. Cuz that was what it was on. I had

all of them. I had Lugia. I had

Rayquaza. You don't care?

>> What do you mean? I

>> I

I'm just You don't care. I thought you

would care.

>> Okay. You know what? I'll I'll be

honest.

>> Dead like your dog, mate. Your old

childhood dog.

>> I have some Pokémon trauma, right? I

also had a Rayquaza and I accidentally

traded it.

>> [laughter]

>> Oh, is it broken, man?

>> You don't know it's broken.

>> Yeah, it might be the DS.

>> But it's probably not. And Swampert's

gone. You know.

>> [laughter]

>> Swampert's dead. What have you got on

your Switch?

off, guys. Right. Oh, it's a

Switch. Oh, it's a I don't care.

>> Well, at least you know, we're going to

have to give it to the new one here

because at least this one works.

off, man. Okay, we're going new.

>> Yeah.

>> All right. Now, my friends, it's time to

test a new type of cooking. And that is

HelloFresh. So, the vintage version of

this, right, would be heading to the

shop, buying a bunch of ingredients in

quantities you just absolutely don't

need, and then having some random lemon

juice kicking around in your cupboard

that you never going to use for another

18 months. But, right, as you can see

here, there's none of that with

HelloFresh. Oh, what's that? The perfect

amount of ingredients just measured out

for me. No waste. We are going to be

going for loaded beef chili nachos. Now,

if you've been around on this channel,

you'll know not a good cook. Not a good

cook at all. However, with HelloFresh,

I'm getting my hand held. They've also

expanded their menu. They've got lots of

premium options like steak, loads of

seasonal veg, calorie smart meals, and

you can swap proteins and add extras if

you fancy. Firstly, you've got

everything. Secondly, it's all planned

for you. Three dead [music] easy steps

to follow. Honestly, the best way to

describe it it's idiot-proof. Now, my

friends, we are giving you 50% off your

first box and 20% off the next four

after that. Then, three healthy treats

for two months if you use my code on

screen right now. So, my friends, if you

want to make weeknight dinners easier

and reclaim just a little bit of your

evening, I genuinely really recommend

giving HelloFresh a go. [music] Use my

code, the link in the description, or

the QR code that's on screen now.

>> Thank you very much to HelloFresh for

sponsoring this video. Lego.

>> Lego. I love Lego.

>> Yeah?

>> Does it feel like nothing has changed

over the last 5 years?

>> Yeah, it's like no, it's changed.

They've got booklets. Can we have new

Lego, please?

>> Is this just you wanting this?

>> I think we actually got it for you as a

gift and then you didn't take it home,

so it's back.

>> I actually do a pretty good R2-D2

impression.

Hey, it's me, R2-D2.

>> [laughter]

>> I do a good Wookiee.

>> I'm going to go for new. Oh, yeah, okay,

this feet one.

>> You can't see behind the camera, but

Abby's doing this.

>> [laughter]

>> The running joke there, hey viewers, if

you haven't seen any of these videos

before, is our producer Abby always buys

feet products and we're getting a little

bit suspicious of her.

>> [snorts]

>> That's pretty sick though, right?

>> Those are too cranky.

>> Those are stylish. Those are fair.

>> The blisters in my feet have gotten so

bad, I was starting to bleed through the

shoe.

>> Ooh, size are these?

>> Yours.

>> Maybe do one on each foot, cuz then you

can test it on comfort, yeah, on

wearability,

and then we need a third, style.

>> My ability's class.

That's good, isn't it? You know, I'll be

honest, mate, right? Old one

feels smoother.

Come on.

Old, well nicer.

Old.

>> Oh. [groaning and screaming]

>> Yes. Little aliens. Do you remember when

people said that you could put two in

one go and then they'd have a child?

>> Yeah.

>> What?

This one's had a child. There's two in.

>> Oh, I don't like that. Actually no, all

of a sudden I actually don't like the

way that these feel.

>> [screaming]

>> That is a horrible texture.

>> These are from 1999 slime alien toys.

These were so sick.

>> Does the smell really take you back like

it

>> Oh my god.

>> And the taste.

>> No.

>> So obviously there's no way that's

getting beaten.

>> I I don't think it can be.

>> New version of slime. Oh, of course.

>> So it's just slime.

>> Slime.

>> Uh.

>> [snorts]

>> Oh, it smells like unicorn.

>> Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm going to

give that the new. Oh, but no, the old

>> No, we're giving it new. I'm giving it

new. I'm giving it new.

>> Okay.

>> Old.

>> [laughter]

>> Woah! [screaming]

Yeah.

>> Can you do any tricks on this?

>> There's no grip tape on the tech deck.

>> Mhm, see the old one.

>> See, if I had grip tape I would have

ollied the

>> Go to that brown sugar

>> look good. Did you Were you one of those

kids that did this stuff when you were

growing up?

>> No.

No.

1998 Tech Decks were first come along.

>> Yeah.

>> Newer Tech Decks.

>> Oh, so now it comes with its very own

skate park. I've never been on this.

>> Nail that ramp, man.

Yes.

You need a few more legs I would say

there.

>> I just feel like no one's really talking

to me like like

>> Why am I not invited, man? Let me in.

>> I've been having a real dark time at

school.

>> Your mom gets around Morrison's, man.

>> New wins there, surely.

>> Yeah, new wins. New.

>> Oh, oh yeah.

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Where's the uh

>> Uh-huh.

>> It It didn't come

>> Don't need it, mate. We got We got the

hands of steel.

>> And how would it work? They had them and

then the dragons come out the top of

them.

>> Not always dragons. They were always

different characters.

>> Yeah, like they'd spin them and then the

monsters would fight out the top of

them, right?

>> But not in real life, that was the show.

All right, so old Beyblade, sick,

iconic. Let's try this new one.

Woah.

Wow.

It's kind of sick it fell off and still

going.

>> Did you have the big stadiums?

>> Yeah.

>> All I hear is like, "I want to Beyblade.

I want to Beyblade.

Beyblade was never real." Do you not

just hear Linkin Park when you look at

these?

>> No.

>> Can we please give this a old? I'll be

heartbroken if we give this new, even

though new was pretty sick.

>> New seems high quality. I I I don't

think we can give this to nostalgia. It

kind of feels like a continuation of a

good thing. When you were a child, you

added significant weight to things which

were, you know,

>> When you were a child, you added

significant weight.

>> Is that because I was a beast as a

child? Is that what you're saying?

>> You're a beast as a child. Sorry. Do you

want to give it to new?

>> I would like to give it to new.

>> New, yeah. Oh, nice.

>> [laughter]

>> This is a

>> Bop it. Bop it.

>> I reckon I'm pretty good at this.

>> Good stuff.

>> So it's so old that the batteries don't

work anymore cuz

>> Right. But I think it teaches you a lot

about what you need to know in life.

Just twisting it, pulling it, and

flicking it.

>> Woah! Hang on, what's Bop it?

>> Woah, Bop it. Bop it. Woah, Bop it.

>> Where's all my Bops gone? Look at Bop it

Bopflation.

>> Yeah, it's like AI Bop it.

>> Mate, we've only got We've got only got

>> Blasting, loud, quiet. Blasting, loud.

>> Loud, quiet.

>> It's what your parents have every night.

>> [laughter]

>> Surely more to do there.

>> Yeah, this is This has got to win.

>> Oh, I recognize that. I didn't have one

though. So he blows butterflies out his

nose?

>> Yeah, and then you got to catch your

color butterfly.

>> Shut up.

>> Oh, the butterflies are sorted.

>> Oh, that's not mine. Oh.

>> Oh, you only got to get your own?

>> That's mine. Mine. Dude, that's mine.

>> This is sick.

>> No.

>> We've both got none. Okay.

>> I'm interested to see what our new

version of that is.

Oh, well, one pair.

>> Solo play game, I think.

>> Okay, I'll let you play, well.

This is the

everything about this planet now is

terrible.

>> [laughter]

>> That that's it. It's just

Right. And you look like a twerp.

>> [laughter]

>> That is so sad. We've lost friends.

What's so funny about that?

But we're happy for the lonely kids that

that don't have the friends that can

play with themselves, play by

themselves.

Old.

But these Nerf blasters.

>> Oh my god.

Oh my god.

>> Oh, that's pretty fun.

Oh, that's kind of fun.

>> [laughter]

>> That's a really cool thing to have.

>> Oh, see how little they are, little

things.

I think they're better than new ones,

right? I feel like I'll give you

>> No, I'll stand up for this one. You you

if you do it, I'll be able to compare

the two.

Don't shoot me.

Just just don't pan don't pan that's

just Don't shoot me. Don't pan over it.

Thank you.

>> Do you want me to shoot you again?

>> Yeah, go on. We'll do this purely on how

much it hurts your target.

>> Say hello to my little friend.

>> Hello.

>> [laughter]

>> Sorry, I fired

from there.

All right. Ah, that hurts way more and

old way cooler. We're giving that to

old. Oh. You don't choose for this

video, remember? Could you rollerblade?

I believe I could. Can you ride a bike?

Can I ride a bike? Yes, I can ride a

bike. Can you ride a bike?

>> Sometimes it strikes me that you might

not have the dexterity to ride a bike.

>> In 1982, they really had their moment.

In the 2000s, many kids are attending

roller discos.

>> Did you ever go to Roller World when you

were younger?

>> Roller World?

>> Maybe it was an Essex thing.

>> No, we had big Tesco.

>> You were at Ascot races, mate.

>> No, I didn't.

>> It was Henley.

>> No, I did theater after school,

actually.

>> [laughter]

>> She says, "This is actually so hard."

Mate, how did anybody ever do this?

That's not what I mean.

>> Can you ice skate?

>> No.

I mean, this is fun.

Um should we just do these solo from now

on? Should we just Do we need Do we need

a guest? Do we need this guest? Let us

know.

>> I'll bring it. It's better than the

>> Yeah.

>> Can you do this?

>> Rubik's Cubes, yeah. Yeah. But, you just

So, what you do is you do this

[laughter]

and then this.

And then it just Yeah, you can move it.

Can I complete it?

>> Right.

>> No.

>> The Rubik's Cubes came out in the '80s.

Now, we've got Rubik's ball. These are

great fun.

>> So, what does it achieve?

>> It's a Perplexus. So, you got to go

around and get the ball all the way

around. It's good fun.

>> That is absolutely brilliant.

Next up is a Walkman. This looks pretty

cool.

>> Yeah.

>> Yes.

>> No.

>> Got it.

>> Uh-huh. Okay, in here. Pink, get the

be a mirror. I got that.

>> It's going to be a big bubble.

>> That is maybe the most disgusting thing

I've ever seen you do.

I think we're struggling here.

>> I prefer the wheel.

>> I prefer the first one.

>> Mikey, what you reckon?

>> I think the wheel.

>> Happy Meal toys.

>> This is Action Man.

>> That's it.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Oh, look at that. And what are you

doing?

>> Yeah, what does do, Action Man? Work it

for us.

>> Oh, I'm Mr. Action Man, and I want some

tiramisu.

>> He looks like he's hanged himself.

Wait, wait, is he meant to go up?

So, it's a Mr. Man, and it's a car.

>> That's so

>> That's a load of woke nonsense. Like,

there's no quality to it.

>> Rubbish. Old. Ooh, another yummy coffee

for me, I think.

What the hell is this? Oh, it's the You

squeeze the slime out of them, don't

you? Oh, that is

foul. It's been happier. So, this is

early Play-Doh. Oh, that.

>> It's just Do the gun.

>> Oh my god. But, this is This is giving

me an eerie vibe. This is definitely

wash your hands territory. But, if this

was clean and new, it's got a little

barber chair, and you put the stuff in

it, and then you No, I am with you on

that.

>> Back in '70s, this might have been all

right. And the new Play-Doh, does it

still have that smell?

>> What about the taste?

>> Wow, that takes you back.

>> Go on. Go on. Eat it.

>> to eat.

>> Were they?

>> They would kill you.

>> It does kind of take the edge off.

>> It does. It does. It does. You want a

bit more danger, don't you?

>> In your kids' toys, I think you do. It's

the Stretch Man.

Does he just go back?

>> He goes back.

>> I reckon we can get wall to wall here,

right? Don't let go.

>> I'm not going to. I'm not going

>> Just get that man's chisel jaw straight

into me. He's stirring him, yeah.

>> [laughter]

[gasps]

>> Go on.

You don't think he's

>> Come on, Mr. Armstrong. You can go on.

>> Stop pulling it so hard. He's got to go.

He's got to release.

>> [laughter]

>> He's got to release.

>> Mr. Armstrong, no.

>> I know. It's pants.

>> [laughter]

>> There you go.

>> Grab a rod.

>> And then, here's his modern equivalent.

>> there's only one test, surely, right?

>> Not even close.

>> Rubbish, yeah. Rubbish. Oh, dear.

>> [laughter]

>> No, Armstrong.

>> I'm going to give that old.

>> Yeah, definitely old.

>> These frustrated me as a child.

>> Why?

>> I just think cuz my sister used to

always beat us.

>> Oops. Obviously, what you were supposed

to do was

>> That's my way.

>> Oh.

All right.

>> [laughter]

>> Sorry. Okay, but I guess we'll try the

new one. Yeah, we've got something

called Spikeball. Mikey, actually you

play this.

>> You play this with other other adults?

>> Yeah, I don't play it with children.

Yeah.

Wait, this is All right, now well well.

Now well, I think you're bad at this.

>> I would give it to the old one.

>> Okay, old.

>> It's a little lightning lightning

>> box and lightning and all of that.

>> Woah, mega brainwaves.

>> Ow, that can't be good for you.

>> Bit naff.

>> 50 years later on

>> we've removed the protective sphere.

>> Oh, I don't like this.

>> Cool.

>> Woah.

>> [screaming]

>> Hot hot. That for a laugh.

>> Mate, that is mocked up. Go with the old

one.

>> Sick.

>> That strikes me as incredibly dangerous.

>> Modern plasma toy class.

>> This is from the '60s.

>> Looks like something from Toy Story.

>> Rapid little bugger.

I'll be honest, I didn't control that.

>> Oh, yeah, it's just going.

>> Yeah.

Okay.

>> I'm not doing anything.

>> So it's remote, but it's not controlled.

>> Can you change cars that much?

>> I guess this one might work.

>> Woah, mega suspension this. Did you see

that?

>> Oh, bit more control, a little bit

proper.

>> Oh my god. [laughter]

>> I'm going to give it to you purely cuz

he's bouncy.

>> Everything just had a little bit more

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, but it doesn't look as good on the

inside. Connect the ankle with the knee,

then you'll see how rich you'll be.

>> Well, I've got knee bones at all. I

hated this.

>> I was rubbish at it.

>> I'm assuming operation hasn't really

changed much since.

>> Oh, it's like AI now. That's strange.

>> It's still a

>> game. It's a shame that the the design

isn't better as well.

>> It was more fun. Um, old old.

>> You really wanted one of these as a kid.

>> Oh.

I'm going to take this home. This is

from 1963. That is sick. There's no way

they made this better, right? I think

it's part of the allure is it looks like

it's from the era.

>> Yeah, it looks like it's from an Austin

Powers film.

>> Oh my god.

>> It's cool.

It's not that cool.

>> Old. You're going to get in?

>> I'm fitting I'm in that?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Come on, Will.

>> One more foot. One more foot.

>> We're going on a trip, Will.

So, children stay in there and you pull

them along. If you were tiny, it would

work.

>> Yeah.

>> But you're not.

>> Is this an actual toy?

Holy

>> Oh my god.

>> Okay. So, it actually works.

>> How do I Yeah, it works, but James, I'm
