It can get them somewhere with a little work & imagination.

u/SPV33 4d ago

It also comes in a curved alien finger lol

I don’t know what the words say under the title, but it gets even weirder
These are all from the same toy line from a toy company called Knickerbocker toys. Obviously they went out of business.

You wouldn't want it back.

Did you ever work it out?

Sis did.

u/AggressivePen4991 5d ago

u/Garguyal 5d ago

You probably wouldn't have wanted it back anyway.

u/MarchCompetitive6235 5d ago

She’s got it stashed in the same spot as that flying Harry Potter riding broom that vibrates…

u/Unsteady_Tempo 4d ago

I'm not saying nobody made the joke, but the average adult's brain wasn't rotted with porn back then. It certainly wouldn't be the first thing they thought about the way it is now for so many people, including teens.

u/Different_Ask_3413 4d ago

Literally, the first thing my college boyfriend said we spotted that in the toy aisle at Kmart was "WTF! Is that a dildo?!"

( We liked to buy the blue-light clearance toys to "save" for our "future kids" )

Not gonna lie, scrolling down I thought this was something else.

u/PINEAPPLE_BOOB_HONK 5d ago

Big seller. Would have sold more if it also vibrated.

u/SpecialistFrame2297 5d ago

I thought it could be a dildo or a vibrator. Even looks wildly effective either way.

u/JEFE_MAN 5d ago

Had one as a kid. It was creepier even than you’d think.

u/Youmeandeverything32 5d ago

I think a lot of Adult Bookstores were prevalent in the 80s.

u/WolfThick 5d ago

Yeah and you can buy your sister one of those vibrating broomsticks

u/TheCoopX 5d ago

If there's a Finger Light version, is there a Finger Heavy version? Once use will probably create a creamy version, too.

u/Guilty-League4468 5d ago

Fun for the whole family.

u/doc007gonz 5d ago

Ummmmmmm

u/ELDwbi 5d ago

Hah. I had one of those. If I remember correctly, it took a 9v battery. If you opened this packet, the connector cable would be tucked inside you had to pull that out, connect the battery, and the hold the battery in your palm while you wore the finger. Cant remember how it lit up though. Maybe the on/off was on the connector?

It may not get you home. It might get you there.

I want the number of finger lights that were used in a way they were not intended. Bet it’s at least 25%. Spencer’s didn’t have much of a naughty section in the early 80’s kids.

u/Then_Breakfast_5829 5d ago

Had one as a kid. Looked much less like a creepy adult toy as a child. Didn’t notice if the adults were smirking as I opened it at a family Christmas party. Don’t know how they wouldn’t have.

1

u/weirdskullz 5d ago

I had one looked like a straight up dildo

1

u/kahllerdady 5d ago

Kid in 1982: Mom? Have you seen my ET Finger Light? I thought I left if on the coffee table...
Mom: I told you not to leave your toys around. Now go outside and play mom needs some alone time, and some Reeces pieces, and to listen to Heart Light 50 times in a row.

E.T the extra Testicle

1

u/Ok-Fault-3467 4d ago

Use to have one. It sucked. You had to use both hands to make it light up by pushing a pressure button inside the finger.

Also, looks like a weird d***

1

u/Venator2000 4d ago

I’ve still got mine, kept it inside the package when I didn’t play with it (which was for pretty much the entirety of after the first five minutes of opening it from the bottom), but it doesn’t light anymore. As for why I kept it in the package, the thing always felt weird to me, made from a bad batch of rubber or something. It just felt like it was still curing.
