Stewie Griffin's weather control machine

[Howlrunner]

I was toying with the idea of building Stewie Griffin's weather control machine from the fantastic "Family Guy", and it shouldn't be very difficult, but I can't for the life of me think what the toy that it's based on is called! I know I've seen them before, but I just can't think what it is (and hence can't track one down online). So, anyone know what its name is? :thumbsup

It's based on a "See N' Say".

Excellent, thanks!

Now to try to track one down in the UK.... Interestingly, none of the vintage ones (i.e. the correct ones with the handle at the top rather than North West position) seem to come in red. And there doesn't seem to be any colour for sale in the UK, unless they were named something different over here.

I had that exact same one as a kid! Too bad it has been long "sent out to pasture"...errr...thrown in the trash.

The new ones come with a plastic lever instead of a pull string. Some dumb kid probably hung himself.

Yeah...those dumb two and three year olds! They oughta know better huh?! :rolleyes
And the smiley face...cause nothing is more amusing than a toddler who has accidentally strangled themselves with a toy. :thumbsup
