I saw this coin-op E.T. at the annual Bell Plastics open house event in Hayward, CA. (They collect all kinds of weird and wonderful artifacts.) I was immensely bummed that it wasn’t plugged in and functional, as I couldn’t quite wrap my head around how a kid would “ride” this. Does anyone know?
Photo: Coin-operated E.T. that you ride, like the little coin-op horsies and rockets that you used to see outside of grocery stores. There is a yellow bollard behind it that’s kitted out to look like a Minion.
