6.3.2008    Best. Toy. Ever? Having three boys and being something of a textbook case in stunted emotional development, it’s not at all rare for me to play with and even covet some of their cool toys. But this Indiana Jones Whip, recently gifted to Sonny Corleone at his fifth birthday party, is something spectacular indeed. Yes, it’s made of China-manufactured plastic and two-and-a-half-feet of polyester, but there’s a kind of sublime joy to swinging this thing and hearing a pretty realistic whaa-tshhhh! sound result. It’s damn satisfying, and it’s not something easily replicated because most people don’t have the real thing. Highly recommended. (3)
