Wooly Willy… What kind of a name for a kid’s toy is that?!

and they have been available again in the last couple of years-I got them for my kids after not seeing them for at least 35 years

I’m almost sorry to say, but I really enjoyed crafting a Hitler ’stache for Britney. Is that a sign of mental illness?

I had one of these too – as well as one…(haha – fits in w/the “willy” thread)…with magnetic balls!

We definitely know what One-Eyed Willy means. Every fifth-grade boy had to remind us every day. I was shocked to hear it, as an adult, on The Goonies, too, esp knowing that was my favorite movie, and here I am watching it with my teenage sisters….*awkward moment*

yeahhh….and my poor bunny ate some. no long-term damage, but metal shaving in a tongue must really suck, a rabbit running around with it’s tongue hanging out is hilarious, though.

Plus, these things were what inspired the inventor of Magna-Doodle. So the win was played forward..

We have the same slang here in the U.S. My reaction to seeing this entry was to boggle a bit… I remember seeing the toy before but either mine was an imitation with a different name or I was too young at the time to get it.

Not only do I remember Wooly Willy, But they were – and still are – made in my hometown (Smethport, PA!!). I’m even good friends with the guy – Jim Herzog – that invented Willy and his ilk. I gave out Wooly Wiilys as a gift at my wedding!

I’ve been sick and my mom just gave me a little travel sized Wooly Willy to cheer me up (please note I’m 27 and have played with these before). I’ve never seen Hair Do Harriet. She looks like Liza Minelli (http://www.bubbygram.com/performers/liza.jpg).

I always had a good “teehee” at that name whenever I saw the movie. Naughty!

If you’re Australian or British, the idea of a game called “Woolly Willy” is absolutely hilarious.

You see, to us a “willy” is childish slang for a penis.

You can bet we laughed our arses off at the Goonies, and the treasure of One-Eyed Willy.

You too?!

LOL. No, seriously though, before I understood the power of magnetism I thought these things were the coolest toy ever. At least for the first ten minutes. Then I got bored and cut open the plastic part to let all the metal shavings out. My mother was *pissed*.

I just saw one of these a the bookstore this afternoon! I tried to use it by holding the packages together because they were both still wrapped. Didn’t quite work.

This is wild. I just found my old WW in my basement yesterday, and here it is on the puter! Yes, awesome, awesome toy.

I got these as gifts from one of my uncles when I was a child.
He smelled weird and liked me to sit on his lap while I played with this toy … hmmm.
