Toys of yer childhood

[RCMerchant]

Do you feel nostalgia for some of the stuff you played with as a kid. I sure do.

Here are a few I enjoyed...

Monster Old Maid Card Game.

Yeh...it was just Old Maid...but hte cards were soooo cool! Me and my brother Mike usta play this in an old junk yard in back of the cornfiield . Why we played it there? I dunno. It was our card playin' spot. And drink RC Cola or Nehi.



CREEPY CRAWLERS-
You took some goop and poured it into a mold...and made rubber bugs. Fun. That was about 1969.




BARNABUS COLLINS GAME-
Truth to tell...I don't remeber how this game was played. I DO remeber it came with 4 set of plastic vampire teeth---and we just played with them!!! 



Johnny West!!
He was great! A little sturdier than GI JOE...and I had Geronimo,General Custer,Bart,Sitting Bull...I bought a Geronimo 2 years ago offa ebay. Good for shooting at with yer BB Gun!




I hadda lotta AFI and Mego monster figures. DRACULA was a favorite! (of course!)

It's amazing what 10 years did. When I had GI JOES...(and I had a lot of them!) they looked like this..



In the 80's...they shrunk...and NOW they are big again...but so much cooler! You can get Nazi, Russian,Vietnamese,Japanese...GI Joes from all sortsa military backrounds! Boy...I wish I was still a kid!

[venomx]

I think I had some of those big Joes.

I had the WWF Action Figures And Wrestling Ring as well! The big rubber ones.

OMG! lol know what else I had? Garbage pail kids bubble cards. LOTS of them!

GI Joe
Transormers
Toxic Avenger
Mighty Max
Aliens Action Figures

[Mr. DS]

GPK ruled.  I had so many of them but sadly I didn't keep them.

I had Johnny and Jane and Geronimo,  also several horses and all their gear.  (The jointed ones were the coolest - but fragile)  Still have them!

[Jack]

The old G.I. Joe's from the '70s.


And View Mater - those were the coolest things ever!


I used to build a lot of models too, mostly space ships, but a lot of military stuff as well.

Kind of makes you wonder about the imagination of kids today.  We could spend hours and hours just imagining stuff wtih our toys.  Today, kids have got high-def video games, and they can't even pay attention to them, they've got to maintain a steady stream of prattle with their prattling friends over their bleutooth headsets.  And when they go someplace, do they daydream about fantastic stuff?  Nope, steady stream of prattle over the cell phone.

I'm nearly 42 and I still have my first toy ~ a white teddy bear that my Dad bought me when my folks adopted me. He's a little worn and his eyes have been replaced by buttons but he's still with me. 

PS: His name is "Toddy" ~ I could never pronounce "teddy" as a kid. Dunno why. 

[Umaril The Unfeathered]

Let's see:
I had the Lone Ranger and Tonto 10' action figures that came with Silver and Scout.

I remember playing the original "Operation" (damn them they changed the box art!)

I had a talking Bugs Bunny doll that I wish I never gave to my little cousin in the 80's..it was sentimental for some personal reasons but I relented to the new generation in my family and she (my cousin) loved it till it went to pieces.

The Aurora model kits. 

Sorry and Monopoly from Milton Bradley. The list goes on...

[Doggett]

I even had the ecto plasm 
I can still remember the smell !

[Ash]

I also grew up in the 80's and had tons of GI Joes, Transformers, Go-Bots, etc...
In the mid 80's I got really big into He-Man toys.
These were my two favorite He-Man playsets:

The Slime Pit


Snake Mountain


Snake Mountain had the microphone that you could use to make your voice sound evil.

I was also heavy into M.A.S.K. toys.

[Leah]

Lets see....LEGOS!, PS2, Hot Wheels, Mastio or Maisto Die-cast cars.

OMG how did I forget my HEMAN toys on that list?!! my favorite was Trapjaw!
