The truly horrific one is for a monkey.  Yes, some people do have them as pets, but these poo-flinging animals can be quite a handful.  Of course, I would have loved to send away for either of these things as a kid.

This one for the Aurora Monster Scenes line of model kits. Vampirella was anatomically correct with visible camel toe. Mothers were appalled but young boys were enthralled.

You don't throw underhanded, do you, Gary?

It's the sheer volume of poop that necessitates your two-handed toss.

Being 12 today would SUCK. I'd only be 12 again if I could do it from the late 50s to the 70s.
