Favourite Childhood Toys

GI Jew.

I had those 2.

I would love to score another one in decent condition.  I loved that goddamned spaceship.  Used to have to carry it around the house with both hands.

Here's something the old fogies will remember--



The original GI Joe.

Didn't play with him for years;  when I was around 4 or 5 I went through an irrational "fear of beards" phase.

The "stringing up your doppelganger" motif is rather chilling.

You can get a used one for $200.

I think we had most of these... 



And lots of those toy monster trucks that you'd wind-up/roll-back (Rough Riders, I think was one of the brands...there were two big competing brands)

And I am sure we had this somewhere.



If it was 80's sci-fi or fantasy, we probably had toys/action figures of it.

Also had buttloads of the D&D lead figurines we'd play with.  Probably explains all the problems in adolescence and will end up cutting a decade off my lifespan.

I don't remember any of the figures, but that Fort hit a nostalgia bone I didn't know I had so me or a good friend must have had it.

And back in the good old days when we didn't care about kids choking on toys or shooting things at each other I had this one



Little brother had

LOL, I had the Great Mazinga one, too.  He was great.  Stupid wheels in his feet were for shit on shag carpet, though.

The evil sorcerer figure looks familiar... think I had that one.
