@watchfightback: Toy commercials use all the showbiz pizzazz they can to appeal to youngsters, but some toys don’t live up to their advertised claims. On Fight Back! in 1990, David Horowitz tests the turbo power of the Tyco Typhoon Hovercraft to see if it measures up to its commercial. #80s #retro #toy #racecar #toysoftikto

I had a Tyco Bandit. My cousin had one. They were on the same frequency and we cousin drive them within 200 feet of one another. The battery would die in about 5 mins.

David & Co. seemed to love challenging these Tyco toys. There was a challenge of the Turbo Hopper a year or so prior, and the Fast Traxx on the final season. Who says consumer reporting can’t be fun?

I wanted one. But my friend had one. It stunk. If it wasn’t on a smooth surface or less than a inch of water it was slow. Concrete or rough surfaces tore up the bottom and wouldn’t hold air anymore. Commercial made it better than it was.

When I was a kid, I wanted one sooooo bad, but too expensive.
When I was middle aged, I forgot it existed
Now im an elder, What the fark was I thinking?? Batteries aren't cheap, potholes in the road were the only waterbodies. batteries ain't cheap.
The toy would have been fun for less than and hour
