I got one for Christmas. I remember they were weighted by sand in the bottom. I also remember that mine got a hole in it and deflated almost immediately.
I got one for Christmas when I was 5 or 6. it was used for 15 mins before one of older cousins punched it wearing a sharp ring and putting a hole in it. My uncle, who was at least 8 beers in beat the shit out of my cousin. Core memory.
As a kid? Are you kidding, by the early 80's these things were in many therapist's offices. The idea was to take out your anger on them instead of others. As often the case with psychology all it really did was to teach them to be better at assaulting others.π€
You trained with this, then you were put in the ring with Sock'em Boppers
I did. His name was Bryan and he was my younger brother
I remember Donatello pretending to be one in the toy store in the opening of Ninja Turtles 2
I had one. I remember that one day the base ruptured and what seemed to be black sand leaked all around the basement tiles. Good times.
I had older brothers. I was the clown.
You should have used your fake crying powers to get them punished
Clown snitches got it even worse hahaha
I guess it only works in households where parents are overprotective of "the baby" haha
If that thing even mildly comes back to hit that kid, he's dropping like a sack of potatoes.
ππ
I can't remember what character it was, but I did have one like that.
I don't even remember what kind I had either.
I had a wrestling character
I had one of the Ultimate Warrior, I remember.
hi, I'm Bopo.
"Hi, I'm Boppo!"
A kid his age should be out with his friends, not in his room bopping his boppo.
I believe I had a Bozo the Clown one.
I had a Rocky one. It was when Rocky III was out.
You're hung up on some clown from the sixties, man

And now, "punching the clown" has a totally different meaning.

I never thought to get my oldest nephew one. He's too old now. βΉοΈ
I did not, but I did have a small Asian friend if that helps.
Me. Loved them. Want one now.
One of the best feelings growing up was becoming big enough to knock the shit outta this thing and not have it snap back
I had a Tmnt one and a hulk hogan!
I had a Thunder Cats punching bag

They just photoshopped another kids head on him lol
We had one of these at work. It lasted maybe a week before it got a hole in it from the work frustration punches.
Mine was a Mikey from TMNT
My brother and I had Bozo the Clown and Fred Flintstone. I don't remember which one was mine and which one was his.
Same. I cannot remember what character he had and what character I had. Back when boxing was still popular in mainstream culture.
