Originally posted by bart182: It's a clicker... You click it! I couldn't have put it better myself. I have 3 Futurama clickers which came from my die cast figure sets. One of them has the Planet Express logo and says "Delivery's just a click away!". One has a picture of Benders head and says "Bite my shiney metal ass" and "I'm talkin' to you!" And finaly the other has a picture of Kif on it and says "Lieutenant Kif Kroker" and "Click for Kif!" Does anyone else have some, if so what's on them?

Originally posted by cellery: I bought two packages, and got one clicker with Nibbler's head on it and another with a pic of Kif on it. They're okay, but the 8 tin figures look great on my shelf. Yeh, the die cast figures look so great, I hope they release a 3rd set this year. By the way, what does the Nibbler clicker say? ps, that new siggy of yours is superb! probably your best yet, URL looks so comanding

For those who can't grasp the concept of a clicker, it's a dome shaped piece of metal that is hollow, on the back there is a another peice of metal which is attached to the side and is roughly half the width of the clicker. Because it is attached to the bottom of the dome underneath it overhangs the underneath of the dome, all you do is push it inwards into the hollow dome shape and it makes a clicking sound. Amazing, truly amazing...

What are the clickers for? For irritating your friends and family of course! What I understand clickers can be used for (clickers were around before RocketUSA made their Futurama ones) is in training animals to do tricks. First you train them with treats then slowly replace the treats with the clicking sound. Eventually they will associate the clicking sound with positive reinforcement and will respond to it. Saw it on Animal Planet once. If that doesn't float your boat remember the motion clickers are coming out and besides just making a clicking sound they will move as well. At least it will give you something to do while clicking away. I kind of like the clickers. The graphics are pretty good especially the series 2 and 3 sets. It is a nostalgia thing mostly with them being made of tin and just being a really simple toy. Much like the walking tin toys - just plain simple. They are much different than anything being produced today. RM

Clickers. Has anyone watched the movie "The Longest Day" about the Normandy Invasion on D-day. In that movie the 82nd Airborne used clickers to identify themselves to eachother. 1 click was answered with 2 clicks, and then you knew the person on the other side was a friendly. So clickers are actually state-of-the-art military technology released for commercial use. Case closed.
