Toys have gotten really, seriously, ridiculously cool! Not to mention really, seriously, ridiculously pricey. These are not your average presents! These unique finds are extraordinary, extravagant, and extreme(ly expensive!). Whoever said money can’t buy love, obviously never got one of these under the tree … The Junior 35 MPH Classic Corvette … This gasoline-powered replica of a 1956 Corvette C1 can reach a maximum speed of 35 mph. Its exterior is painstakingly reproduced using details from the original. Ages 8 and up. $32,000. The Authentic Water Blast Arcade Game … This is the same Water Blast game found at theme parks, state fairs, and arcades, complete with rapid water-shooting guns, flashing lights, lighted marquee, and arcade sounds. The game challenges up to two players to shoot streams of water at their respective bull’s-eyes. $11,000. The Giant 7 Foot Plush Bear … At 7′ tall, this is the largest plush bear available. The giant handmade bruin is covered in a washable velvety-soft 100% polyester fire-retardant fur that is the same rich, deep brown color as the actual Ursus arctos, the North American brown bear. Ages 3 and up. $499.95. The Her Majesty The Queen’s Rocking Horse … This is the rocking horse presented to Her Majesty the Queen on May 12th, 2005, a replica of her prized mare Tinkerbell that Queen Elizabeth favored when galloping across the lush grounds of Windsor Great Park. Ages 4 and up. $15,000. The Ramshackle Playhouse … This is the children’s playhouse that evokes the rickety, off-kilter construction of fantastical, cartoonish structures, yet is constructed with sound engineering principles for stable, safe play. $3,500. The Junior Gumball Machine … Featuring the famous Texaco Star, this replica of the classic gravity-feed “visible” pumps of the 1930s has an authentic gas hose and nozzle. Clear Lexan cylinder holds 1,400 gumballs. $999.95. The Video Arcade Miniature Golf Game … This is the same full-size miniature golf video game found in arcade parlors. Just like real courses, you can shoot your ball through obstacles, such as a secret door at the base of an Egyptian pyramid for a one-way route directly to the hole… if you can time it correctly before it closes. $6,900. The Spaceball Trampoline … This is the trampoline that allows two opponents to play Spaceball. The game requires hand-eye coordination, balance, timing, and trickery to throw a ball past your opponent through a tunneled, netted gantry to the other side–all while bouncing up and down. $699.95. The Authentic Pac-Man Arcade Game … This full-sized console is identical to those systems played in arcades for years. Complete with the original programming that gave Pac-Man such a distinctive, groundbreaking feel, the game recreates the glowing maze, pac dots, ghosts, and yellow chomping hero in exacting detail. $3,000. The Authentic Boardwalk Photo Booth … Identical to the classic units found in amusement parks, arcades, and boardwalks, this is the photo booth that can take and print a four-frame strip of pictures in 16 seconds. The booth comes with two rolls of film that provide up to 3,200 pictures (or 800 sessions of four-frame photo strips). $11,000. Glam Editor BlogsLatest Posts |
