Description
It was a water toy that had a clown's head as the base and a detachable hat which rose in the air when water came out of the clown head. The hat spun around about 5 feet in the air on the stream of water and shot water from the top of the hat.

I never had this toy... but it looks like it would have scared me...
Oh my gosh!!! I was describing this toy to my 5 year old the other day! My cousin and I used this every summer when we were kids, I absolutely loved it... could we get one anywhere???
You can have one if you want to pay lots 'o money for it. I just found it on ebay.
oh my gosh. so much fun. we used to play with it in my backyard for hours.
It wasn't called "Mr." Fun Fountain, but simply "Fun Fountain" (look at the box), and the stream of water went up more like 12 feet, even 15 the way that we used it.
remember what happened when you stood in the water stream to long though...Whammo!!! right in the head with that hard plastic hat!! I LOVED IT!!!!!
The one i got when I was 6 is still in use. My kids loves it :)

Win I was a kid my cousin dared me to sit on it. Without thinking I did. I could feel the water in my eye balls. I think this was my first learning experience with a dare.
My Cousins had thid. We played in it one summer when my sister and i went to visit. My cousin took th e hat off and picked up the head nad squirt the neighbor with it and my Aunt was furious.
My sister and I talk about this toy all the time. Wish my parents would have never goten rid of it. Wish we could find another for our own kids to play with.

I have been telling my wife how much fun we used to have with this when we were kids, I want to get one for our kids.
Im now 35 and have mine from 1978. remember it well. I still use mine to this day for my own kids.
Fun Fountain provided countless hours of summer fun!! I have been trying to locate Fun Fountain for about a year now, but to no avail. If someone is selling one, or knows where to purchase one, please e-mail me at kriscolv@optonline.net. Thank you!
I had one as a kid and now that I'm 30, I would love for my children and my nephew to experience the same kind of fun I had.
One time I ran through the stream of water, and leaped over a copperhead snake that was trying to bite me. I will never forget this.
I am looking for this Toy,my children enjoyed very much. Now I am looking for their children.Let me know where I can find.
This was the best water game of all time!

I had one of these and LOVED it. Bought the Buzz Lightyear one for my daughters b-day cause its similiar and the darn thing did NOT work. I was so sad!
is someone know where i can buy it
I can't believe there is a phot of this online! Brilliant, I was just mentioning it and thought "What are the chances?" but YES here it is! Used to have one of these when I was about 5-7 years old and loved it.
My mother and I were just talking about this toy yesterday!! My brother and sister and I had so much fun as children with this toy. We played for hours on end. When the sun was high in the sky, out came Mr Clown, as we referred to him. I wish I could find one for my children as well. I know they would get a kick out of this toy.
