Two years later, the toy was renamed and re-released as the classic, Air Blaster, a toy that could propel a blast of air nearly 40 feet! ...okay, more like 20 feet. When asked why they changed the name, Rich said, “Well, one name said what it was and the other didn’t.”
Today, another blaster from WHAM-O has hit the scene. Check out the newest WHAM-O hit HERE!

Tim, Great site, have enjoyed pulling out my old toys from mom and dads basement and sharing with my kids. Question, I have a air gun made by whamo part marked 1967, but, it does not look loke this. I have searched everywhere on the web and cannot find anything like it. It uses a small rod to pull back and lock then fires the burst of air using a rubber like diaphragm. Any ideas?
The Air Blaster image above is a bit skewed. Here's a better shot of it.

The Air Blaster was produced in blue and white by 1969, then in 1979 it was back to black, but with a red nozzle. The version you describe sound like the WHAM-O Zap-A-Bubble. I'll post a picture of it soon.
