Seriously I had to google it. I didn't grow up in the States so I wonder perhaps a lot of people in some parts of the world never heard about it or seen one.

After my research, I realised I've seen some toys like that during my childhood but they must have been knockoffs or other brands. Pretty sure I've never seen one that wasn't a keychain. I had no idea people were investing in them as valuable collectibles.
