My best friend's little boy is turning four today, and I thought I would try get him a toy I remember from my childhood, the Crash Dummies.
I had a look around the toy section of a couple of stores but couldn't find them. I ended up getting him a remote controlled car instead, but does anyone know if you can still get the crash dummies toys, and if so, where to actually purchase them from? With Christmas coming up I'll have to get him another present, and I'd love to give him crash dummies!

Is Ebay your friend? Nothing atm, but keep looking.
Also Oztion.com.au Op-Shops also can have great things turn up.

I've got a Crash Dummies 3D cartoon on VHS at home but I havent seen the actual toys for ages. I think I may have seen some in Thailand though but it doesn't really count.

HAHA yes Danny, that's EXACTLY what I'm after!!!!
Looks like I'm gonna have to keep my eyes out on ebay. I was talking to my friend last night about wanting to get him some of these, and she was saying how much he'd love them and laugh at them, so I really hope something comes up before Christmas

LOL I used to have a red one of those, remember building jumps from folders and smashing it up.
My brother had one aswell and we used to have head ons etc, heaps of fun. Perhaps the PC police have killed it off? Christ you cant even find poptarts anymore :( How much did you pay Danny?

I had one of those growing up. Good times.
I'm 35 now and my daughter and I play with Nerf guns. C.S. Lewis once said: "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

haha. True story about the kid, in fact, you've probably seen my friend and her kid Prydey. You lost traction out front of their house that day remember? ;)
Well, it might be for a bit of my own amusement that I want to get him these, but unfortunately I am getting them for him and not myself.

I think this is a timely thread mine. If I can fine two of these I will get them for the kids Christmas presents.
Of all the e**** that gets online petitions this should be one.

Brings back memories of the Smash-Up Derby game I had as a kid. This was my set:
Never forget the sound they made when you pulled that ripcord : And an ad for an equivalent set: Still got my set at home, with a few pieces here and there missing, but it still works. Played with it a few times with my daughter over the years....

I think that instead of digging up a 7yo thread, on a Car forum, looking for a toy for a 2yo child, who won't even be aware of what the toy is you should try asking here. http://mumcentral.com.au/
