A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Cindy Bear on Scooter for $1!

Cindy Bear is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character and is Yogi Bear’s Southern Belle girlfriend. This is a toy from a 1991 McDonalds Happy Meal toy and measures 2 7/8″ tall and has a (ahem) friction motor ! I can’t even imagine any of the Happy Meal toys coming out today having anything so cool. Or maybe I’m just being a grumpy ol’ stick in the mud. Anyhoo, they’ve taken down the link to see her boyfriend steal and then terrorize the park on a scooter in the cartoon “Scooter Looter” but more intrepid folks will be able to find it and watch it somehow.

This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag:
1980s Lindsey Motor Scooter Toy

Here’s a bit of rare swag you can own for $75.77. “Lindsey” was Sears’ own answer to Barbie. So if your doll measures 11.5″ she can ride this scooter. It’s friction powered and apparently from another planet as well because the only two-wheeled vehicle I’ve ever seen remotely like this would be in the blaxploitation movie “Darktown Strutters” which I’ve included a link to below.

This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag:
Go Bot Scooter

Oh look! Another Honda scooter. (Alex – are you paying attention? ; ) This is a little robot that turns into a scooter. Which I think is so much cooler than turning into a Freightliner truck like the more well-known Transformers. To see a video of this toy in action, click here.
