Ok - some great stuff here!
Since I was born in 1970 - my stuff is a little beyond what you guys are talking about (although my brother & I inherited a really nice collection of Matt Mason toys - all the figures, accessories, the space station, crawler, etc - even had the original boxes! What did my brother do? Set 'em on fire in the backyard, of course...)

So - in no particular order....

This thing was the king of the neighborhood - it kicked the Big Wheels ass! We'd take it to the top of the hill on my street & do "burn-outs/donuts" when we hit the bottom by locking the brakes... My shitty neighbor tried to steal it from me by painting his name on the back of it... I'd love to have this (the original one - not the reissue) again in it's box...

I love this cruddy toy! A glorified 8-track tape player that tells you awful jokes, and takes you on time-travelling adventures. Kinda like an electronic Choose-your-own-adventure!

Still want this one - a friend of mine had it & I was pretty damn jealous. I still love that "ewwwwwwwwww" noise it made.


Oh man - this thing takes like 8 D batteries. Attacks the smaller sized '70s G.I. Joe, until he points the flashlight on his chest at it.... Noisy as all get out!

We'd get these at the local market - Squirmel! A cheesy little "magic worm" on a piece of fishing wire. Always tried to make it look alive - still looking for an old example of this guy too!

I know I have more - but that's enough for now...

Anyone else have a sibling destroy their toys once they got their grubby little mitts on them?

"Oh mystic powers - hear my call...
From my limbs, let new life fall..."
