Lucas Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Over the weekend I uncovered a bunch of old photo albums which brought back a flood of memories .. When I was a kid, I always seemed to have some toy, bicycle or contraption in pics .. Anyone remember the Colorforms Aliens ?? .. Seems I even took Xodiac outside in the snow ORFie, JB ??? What else do you remember ?? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I vaguely remember those. Didn’t have any though. The Micronauts figures were pretty cool. And the original G.I. Joe figures from the ‘60s. My favorites were the Marvel superhero Mego dolls though. Of course! http://mikeysdolls.blogspot.jp/p/marvel-comics-dolls.html?m=1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) And Super Toe You'd "press" ( yeah right ) down on his helmet and he'd kick the plastic ball We'd set him up in the next room and slam our fist down on his helmet ... The best was when the dinner table was full of adults, trying to fire that hard plastic football on to the table from a room away Edited February 27, 2018 by Lucas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that I'm looking at pics of it now In the 70s, there was a store called The Wisteria House .. It was more of a gift shop than toy store, but they had a locked glass display of Corgi cars .. The women who worked there were like the women in Suspiria, but a bit nicer Anyways, you'd have to tell them which car you wanted, and they;d come over with keys and unlock the drawers below and find the car in its box .. I loved that store ... I still have a bunch of these 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Toys back then look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more different then they do now!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, they were better! In the 90s there were retro toys/figures made as homages to the 60s & 70s versions. But in 2018 I don’t think I’ve seen any toys/figures made as homages to those made in the 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I brought my treasured SST to school in grade 2 and the nun took it and kept it. Mine made sparks, if I recall correctly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 These guys were the bomb. Real hair, dog tags, authentic snap-closure uniforms with grade-A plastic military boots. http://www.actionfigureuniverse.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/G.I.Joe-AdventureTeam/WAFU-GI-Joe-AT-Catalog-pg2-Group-Photo.jpg My buddy's older brother had a big collection that we used to play with, but, being poor, I never got my own GI Joe. Later when Mattel's Fighting Furies came out, I got the Whip as a gift from the lady across the street. I was stoked! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
