I used to play with Fashion Plates....*sighs* But then the models were always weird....I think a few were transsexual!!!

And I never had a teddy fuxs pen or whatever that bear was...he scared me!

 

[sabbathstorm]

LOL

I think I just liked the patterns. I could scribble to my heart's content and still make something look good.

Re: I didn't mutilate my Barbi dolls...

...I DID stick pearl ended straight pins into their heads to simulate earings, put airplane glue on their faces to make them shiny..........oh, and I gave my Malibu Barbi a "Mrs. Brady" shag haircut.

Maybe the haircut counts as mulitilation.......?



bluemuse

LMAO You just reminded me ......

I stuck pearl ended straight pins in my Barbie too but not in the ears. I was looking to make her more anatomically correct. Though, to this day I have never seen a woman with pearl nipples.
I also used to apply makeup to Barbie. Well, ok it wasn't technically makeup ... it was Magic Markers. I think I invented the Tammy Faye look.

What were you all missing

Silly Puddy always captured my favorite comics, it was the scanner of the 60's.

My favorite toy was a doll of the Bionic Man. His parts came off and you could roll up the skin on his arm and legs and remove bionic pieces out of them. That was the coolest fucking toy they ever created.

 

[ybavg]

Easy - my large collection of matchbox cars. Musta had a hundred of those little cars. Played with them all the time.

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

OMG I remember that !! I did not know what it was called. I called it the Goo maker. I had the kind where the goo came in a bottle like a glue bottle and you heated it up and when it was done you had shapes like flowers and army men and stuff.

Jem, Jem she was truly outrageous.

But somehow, she always got whupped on by Voltron and aaaallll of the transformers I had.

 

[Weird Harold]

Wow, good call, so what do I owe you? I somehow don't see the kids of today sitting still long enough to use those. They don't compete with pc's, the web, or even cd's

My granddaughters (Ages 4 & 8) both have Viewmasters, and do play with them occasionally, although not as much as when they first got them. The lack of new slides is what keeps them from using them more often.

The Daisy air rifle was a good piece of field artillery too. You could pump it up and stuff all kind of objects in.

Strike-anywhere wooden matches were my favorite BB substitutes -- you had to get the angle just right to get them to both light and ricochet to your true target.

I'm almost all the wway through the thread, and although Lincoln Logs and Leggos have been mentioned, nobody has mentioned Erektor Sets (tm) -- thin stamped steel girder sections and LOTs of tiny nuts and bolts. You could build almost anything with them, including a fuctional windmill water pump.

 

[Ice Cold]

I had an Underdog toy... you could take him and place him inside a car, boat or plane. He had a wheel in his stomach so you could roll him across the ground... wonder where I buried him.. hmmm.

[tin_tinr]

the scalextric racing car set my mates used to come
over and we would bet our pocket money on the outcome of the races

 

[bored1]

My favorite toy was my slot cars. There were places in the neighborhood where you could rent time on there track,and race against your friends. I also built model cars,only to blow them up with firecrackers.

[caligula]

What your favorite toy was when you were a kid? Mine was Lite Brite....and playdough!!!

My favorites were my tonka truck, bb gun, and mickey mouse radio. 1st song I heard on it was the village people "YMCA".
Should have saved the radio, worth good money now.

 

[glamorilla]

The World's Greatest Super Heroes from Mego Dolls.

[Dillinger]

My favorite thing to play with was... girls.

 

[Mellon Collie]

Legos and this rag doll I had, Lolly Dolly. What a stupid name but I was like 3 when I got her.

Glam, stop seducing me with your alluring avs. Those boys need me, I know it.
