One of our readers found a Trendmaster toy from the 80s or 90s that she needs
help with:

I have a Trendmasters toy from the 1980s or 1990s. It is a plastic silver gray
glove that fits over a child's hand and part way up the arm.  There is a
trigger inside the glove that probably operates the futuristic gun that the
glove is holding.  On top of the arm section are controls for robot voice,
normal voice, sound selector, volume and speed.  I assume that part runs on
batteries but I can't find a way to get inside the device.  Do you know what
this glove is or for what line of toys?  I can't find it anywhere on the
internet.  ICÇÖve included a couple of pictures.
