Default New Goon Toy

Z constructed this new Goon toy a couple of days ago out of PVC and other goodies. This is an inexpensive toy that lends itself to all sorts of creative expression/modification/enrichment. The horizontal perches are hand-sanded (no power sanders--they just melt/smooth the surface), and the guys get a good grip. Lots of eyes for adding extra toys. Right now, though, no extras (we'll add more in a bit). Ceilidh and Mikey enjoyed the heck out of it this morning! Here are some pix of them playing on it. I hope you enjoy them :-).

Hmmm... maybe $15-$20? Probably closer to the $15 than the $20. The PVC is cheap as chips. The stainless steel rings we bought from a Tandy Leather Factory store at a packet of 10 for something like $4. Not sure what the SS eye bolts w/lock washer nuts and the pvc glue cost, but I know it wasn't much.
