    Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

    I had the Tomy when I was a child. In Italy it was marketed as "Tricky Traps" which I think sounds better than "Aaaaaaaagh". I loved it! I'm 37 now. Where did the life go?

  • @logothaironsides2942

    I think a lot of these toys were very battery hungry and even if parents could fix them, they just proclaimed them unfixable rather than fork out constant batteries. Certainly my dad was of that school. My little sister had a very similar doggy which If I remember rightly had a metal armature but no plastic outer, just the metal and the loose coat thing. hers walked forwards wagging and would back up when it barked.

  • @TheSkaldenmettrunk

    3 out of 3 very well. The controls for the car are really odd for today. It's like a remote control for a TV. The Dog looks cute. The "Aaaarrrgghh".. I see what they did there. It looks like the most fun out of those three and it gave us the "yyyeesss!!"

When you removed the fur from its body and left its head dangling, it looked like something from The Thing - the stuff of nightmares lol! Another great fix - quite good that dog for a small child! Lovely fixes!

    Your beloved dog Fido passed away? you want him stuffed? no bothers, he'll even bark when you pull his tail! Your parrot up and died, you want him stuffed and mounted> ? no bothers, we can also have him sqwawk and spread his wings.

    The O ring is a little too strong for the last red obstacle as it flies off and shouldn't hence why you can't get to the end. You need a weaker one. The reason being is that hole on the obstacle. As I remember having one I know that the hole would not really send it flying like that when it snapped back but instead knocked the ball into the next hole for the final wheel.
