I had one and I loved it. Not like that

u/TotallyTotally23 7h ago

Did it make your belly button glow?

31

u/PureElevator732 7h ago

I showed it to EVERYONE! I can't believe I would shove that thing in people's faces.

u/Agreeable_Sea_6019 7h ago

u/pantry-pisser 7h ago

We are sure you do. Lmao.

u/scorpyo72 6h ago

And I think the 'pulled it off the shelves' is over selling it a bit. I remember seeing them in the discount bin at Kmart, I think. I remember them being around for a bit, but I think quite a few were sold for Christmas, and they probably did stop production shortly after that. But I was like 10 so I didn't give a crap.

u/Rad_Centrist 7h ago

I had one too. I still remember how that rubber smelled. Lol

5

u/Jhyphi 7h ago

When you first got it from the store or a few weeks later?

3

u/Rad_Centrist 7h ago

Lol. Straight out of the package.

Plastics in the 80s had something else going on for sure. I think it was the carcinogens and mutagens.

Dad: "Where you taking the kid's toy?"

Mom: "I need to do some sweeping in the bedroom. I'll be right back in less than 45 minutes. You just keep watching TV!"

Dad (to himself): "Huh. That's weird. We have carpeted floors..."

u/Bunnymancer 5h ago

ET the game however, great success

12

u/Flat-While2521 8h ago

I had one of these. I have no idea how we got it, maybe as a stocking stuffer one year at Xmas? It vanished one day after my mom cleaned my room. The same thing happened to my realistic uzi squirt gun and Indiana Jones leather whip from Disneyland.

The 80’s and 90’s were wild, man

It was very popular with the Moms.

2

u/yes_its_my_alt 6h ago

E.T. merch was cursed. They made an Atari video game that was so shit, they buried hundreds of thousands of copies in the desert (in 1983).

u/youmustb3jokn 6h ago

I’m dying. Phone home Elliot holds new meanings.

Which one of you did it?

u/koolaidismything 6h ago

How did that make it to production.. the first mold made you’d be like “oh shit Walter, it’s a dildo..” and presumably kill the product and pretend it never got that far.

I used to chew on the one we had. Wtf. Ugh. 😳

u/Best-Negotiation1634 6h ago

I Ned to find a photo of my birthday party / sleepover where all the kids got one of those— we slept in a tent in the backyard and due to “ghost stories” we quickly all ended up inside the family room.

But those E.T. Figures were the party favor we all had.

They actually hurt to turn on, the switch was inside the figure hole, but it was really hard to switch on.

And if you did turn it on it was that creepy glow.

Flashlights weren’t led’s

There’s a market for that kind of thing no?

u/Sinister_Sam 1h ago

Somewhere there's a woman with this ET 'not sex' toy and doesn't even realize she has a rare collectable worth thousands

1

u/SpaceAce94 50m ago

They sell for about $200 on eBay mint in the package. Crazy that they thought this was a good idea.

1

u/PerilousParanoia 7h ago

Who the fuck approved this?

2

u/Sea_Violinist3328 7h ago

Multiple people. Dozens even.

Business unit leaders who signed off on the product concept being green-lit for development. And later approved the roll-out to the market.

Every single person in product development who walked it through each stage
of design.

Marketing leaders. Sales leaders. Retail buyers. Legal.

There were so many ladders this little finger went through.

And no one, no one said “Hey…this looks like a dildo”. Or…”Hey the packaging makes it look even more like a dildo”.

Soooo many people approved this. Amazing isnt it?

2

u/PerilousParanoia 7h ago

Can’t argue with that statement. The packaging was just icing on the cake.
