Tonka trucks I was a tomboy and anytime my parent tried to get me a barbie doll, my cousins (older boys) would either shave her head or flush it.So I didnt have dolls for very long.

 

[Silverluna]

Hehehe....I played GI Joe all the time....but i was always cast as the "medic" ....damn sexist pigs....lol

 

[Silverluna]

I got a lifelike babydoll from Germany and I thought I would brush her teeth and I got toothpaste all in her hair!!! (i think i missed her mouth!)

 

[sabbathstorm]

I loved my Lite Brite and my Spirograph best of all. I even used to play with Fashion Plates...that was about as feminine as I got. My mother used to buy me Barbies all the time hoping I'd get out of being a tomboy. Obviously it never worked.

Anything

I could get my hands on from Mattel and Fisher Price.

Adored Barbie.
I was really 'girly'.

 

[bluemuse]

Mine was an Etch-a-Sketch. Until I jumped up and down on it to see what was inside.......Mom was pissed!

Oh....I stabbed my brother's Stetch Armstrong with a knife to see what was inside of him, as well. THAT was a horrible mess!

I loved Gi Joe and the Bionic Man doll (had an older brother), and my Cindy Doll. And my personal favorite was my lifesized doll that walked with me when I held her hand. Still have it!!!

Point to the wise Never piss off bluemuse she seems violent. I'm a bit older than most (41) and when I was a kid there was a toy called Vacuform where you'd heat up plastic on molds and make planes, or rockets. Very cool except when you'd burn yourself on the oven

 

[paphian]

Lincoln Logs
Kenner Build-a-Skyscraper
A "Flying Fox" airliner that was way cool but too hard to describe here.

 

[Silverluna]

Also...heh...I had a lot of toys....
SPEAK 'N SPELL (or something like that....where you punch in the letters...and it talks back )
I would always hit the " ' " key....and it would say: Apsotrophe....again and again...drove my mom nuts...heheh

LOL! My serene screen name is a bit misleading.....I do have a....um.....fiesty side.

I turn 40 this year, but I don't recall Vacuforms. I do recall something similar...but you made flowers with it. Oh! And what about Shrinky Dinks?

Anyone ever play with a Bee-Bee gun? Or Actually play army? I did....but now kids I guess can't....It "promotes violence" ...LoL

 

[riff]

I had a Lite Brite and Etch a Sketch. But me and my brother would have wars in our bedroom throwing the litebrite pegs at each other.

Major Matt Mason space action figures. I wanted to be an astronaut. Born in 1963 (what a magical year), I was 5 years old when Neil Armstrong made a small step for man and a

was it really such a giant leap? Terrorists destroyed the world trade center September 11, 2001.

I weep.

I want my Major Matt Mason back.

I had to reread your post, for a minute I thought you said shrinky Dicks and again that would reaffirm my point about you.

 

[Dream_Chaser]

I still have mine!

Ever still get burned?

 

[ksmybuttons]

Paper dolls. They came in folders. Lennon Sisters, Annette and the Musketeers, on and on. I could make clothes for them and set the folders up like houses.

We also played "Big Family." We would cut out pictures from catalogs and magazines and glue them in a big binder and tell stories to each other.

My favorite toy, though, was my bike. The freedom!

 

[Dream_Chaser]

OK, need some help here

Since I never had the ability to travel at a young age due to a lack of family dough, what was the name of the toy that you would put a round paper disc in, and it had like 12 single frame pictures that you would look into this Binocular thingy? After each pic, youd have to click a plastic button. I remember them red plastic or maybe brown.

Any clue?

I had one of those! I am trying to remember.... wasn't the word "view" part of the name? I had one, though! I swear!
