BUCKAROO

Posted on May 18, 2017 by The Vintage Toy Advertiser

Buckaroo is a turn-taking game of balance that involves hooking items onto the saddle of a mule before it can ‘buck’ the items off. The toy was released in the UK by Ideal in 1970 and went on to become a global hit. Buckaroo is still sold to date and remains a popular toy.

Agree! And still going today. The original was a 2D skinny version, the modern is a fattened-up 3D effort.
