Jazwares Skelanimals portable radio/boombox

Found the first three photos on a Depop listing that’s now unavailable, the rest of these are with Google search. 

Another Skelanimals radio I suppose, an alarm clock with a pink Kit figure on top, also again by Jazwares.

Now this one is also technically a radio, an MP3 player made by Jazwares,

if you don’t know this is an MP3 player, these came out durning the IPod craze and were like a cheaper alternative expect you put in a CD instead of downloading music,

There are many themed MP3 players out there but skelanimals made there own along with themed ear buds to boot because of this craze, no surprise there.

Also sorry about this picture quality, only one I could find,

Also thanks to this website for some info on these items they helped! You can find these items and more archived on there, don’t think you buy anything on there anymore but don’t worry the link is safe, nothing bad that I’m aware of!

Portable Radio are a Manchester, England band that harken back to The Beatles and The Beach Boys. At the same time they make pop music in the vein of The Heavy Blinkers or newer Lemon Twigs. In other words, this is pop music that is sweet, melodic, and meticulously arranged.

WIAIWYA (Where It's At Is Where You Are) is the London-based label releasing this. They have a bundle of the two Portable Radio LPs available. This label has really released some gems over the years. Perhaps a blog search of WIAIWYA is in order - or you can click on the hashtag.

Finally got that state of the art audio system I’ve always wanted.

What could be more awe-inspiring than to imagine bringing along the portable radio on the Saturday family pic-a-nic and, on the shortwave side of things, actually receive Honey and Sis on the shortwave frequencies therefrom:
