We actually have a couple of sets of walkie talkies here at Rock Father HQ – one of which is still very much a “toy” rooted in the dated tech that I grew up with, and another that’s more akin to the grownup models currently on the market: The Nerf Rebelle 10 Mile FRS Walkie Talkies. Now, they’re not only a way for kids to have fun and adventure, but also a tool to help keep kids safe and families connected – but there’s still differences out there in the varieties available. Fast-forward a few decades and walkie talkie tech has come a long way. The fun would usually only end when the batteries or the antennae died. JOE or COBRA… JAMES BOND-style spies… or just ourselves. A technologically-advanced version of THE LITTLE RASCALS-style tin cans with string between them, we had hours of fun pretending to communicate as Rebel pilots from STAR WARS… members of G.I. It was a part of the job, and that job was simple: having fun. I didn’t know a single kid that didn’t bend and/or snap-off their antennae at some point. Back then, they were big, bulky rectangular bricks of plastic – each equipped with the dreaded tin antenna – like the smaller TVs of the day. Growing up as a kid in the 80s, Walkie Talkies were a big part of backyard and neighborhood play. It may contain outdated information or could be missing images.
