H.R.T. Sniper Watch
I stopped sniping years ago. It was a childhood phase: taking to a tree, lining up the shot, and taking out the Toys ‘R’ Us sign at 1000 yards. But what of those of us that never outgrew our sniping days? Is there a watch for those people? Sure there is. It’s the H.R.T. Sniper.…

When an external acoustic source is applied to…
Tomy Vinyl Recorder
Made in 1972, this strange voice recorder used vinyl plates to store scratchy representations of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” While the quality must have been abysmal, it was probably the coolest toy ever when it first hit Japan’s streets.
