Ok. Did anyone here, as a wee baba, have a toy called a Major Morgan? It was a crude blue plastic figure of what, i presume, was meant to be a soldier (though there wasn't anything military about it, in the way that, say, action man was military).
It had letters on the front in a grey box, which corresponded to notes in a scale. These, when pressed, would cause a very lo-fi drone to be emitted. You could just about play something like 'happy birthday' or 'ode to joy', but anything else was impossible.
I need to know if these were mass-produced, hugely successful consumer items, or whether they were made by some strange militarist weirdo in cavan. I am 22, by the way, so i suppose they were popular (if indeed they did exist in any significant numbers) in the early 80's.
Pathetic as it may sound, I may come back later and provide an attachment of a picture of one scanned in.
Anyone?
