Hoop 'n Holla basketball game - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Sparky · 03-12-2007, 07:18 PM

I received mine today. Pics:

Package front
Package back
Mounted on a door
The ball
Craig's signature (blurry, sorry)

The ball talks when it's slammed against a surface (or when the box is jiggled, lol what they must have thought when they were delivering it). He says "Nothin' but net," "Baaasketball" and "OOOWWWW!" (lol). According to the package he also says "Nice shot, dorkface" but maybe my ball doesn't want to offend me...

Unfortunately when hung over a door, the door cannot close, so I really have no place to keep this until I rig up a way to hang it on a wall.

Heh heh, neato. I think it's nice, how the ball talks.

AprilDawn · 03-12-2007, 08:06 PM

So does it actually sound like Bloo?

Sparky · 03-12-2007, 08:20 PM

Oh yeah, its definitely Keith Fergusen.

The "Baaaasketball" quote is...weird though. It's an odd quote in the first place, and he sounds like he's mesmorised or something, lol.

Sparky · 03-12-2007, 08:42 PM

Okay, now he's saying lots more things - maybe he just had to be broken in? I dunno. It was only the three I listed before for the first few hours I played with him. So he also says so far:

"Awesome!"
"Nice shot, dorkface!"
"I'm a b-ballin' free-fallin' Bloo!"
a "BOING!" noise - a noise, not the word
Something that I must not be hearing right, it sounds like "How's it taken, shakey?" Maybe someone else knows what it means.

Aw, that is really cute! I'm jealous

Is the Bloo ball covered in plushy material or in that really soft silky stuff they make the bean-bag pillows out of?

While "How's it taken, shakey" is kind of strange, I'd not doubt it was something similar to that... maybe "How's it shakin', shakey?" ???

Ooh la la. Very nice indeed. It's always pleasing to see some Wilt merchandise.

I'll be keeping an eye for it from now on, though I'm not sure if I could justify buying one guilt-free, since I already have at least three of those miniature basketball games stashed away in my cupboard somewhere, obtained from various goody bags as a kid. Still, none of them have Wilt on them...

Neat! That would be worth the price just for the Wilt basketball net to hang on a door alone!

I'm mistaken. I was thinking of Wilt's Wash-N-Swoosh.
