Toys - photos of your favorites

I loved this toy as a kid (or something similar, that is)

Golliwog! Mine looks very much like the one on the left.

Edit: Kza!

Just cos we happened to be talking about them the other day!

EDIT: I was about to post your REAL favorite toy RB-Tee but it was too big to upload.

You know what? I have a dirty mind.

My Shag Buddies Fave...

The "Magic Diaper Babies" were great fun! You had to put them in the freezer for a bit so their diapers could change colour...blue or pink/boy or girl

Magic Beans were cool too!!


(Geez! I feel like a child again!!)

This as if I was close enough, the missile when fired, could hit my brothers head and make him cry!!!

It it gets really hot and steamy.. it sometimes gets brown streaks on it

CUTE babies! And I just KNEW someone would post a dildo. That it was Grinner surprised me a bit though.

Shit grinner, i told you last time you have to give yourself a good rinseout first.

The cruel disappointment of these!

oh sea monkeys were great! though we were disappointed they didn't look like those ones in the picture!

being a scouser my fave toy was one of these:



(only kidding it was actually the Fisher Price Tree House (til my sister sat on it and broke it...))

Did anyone have one of these?

This was mine (yes, I really had one)



And the target stand to go with it.



Ok, now I'm just messing around. We'd never use something like this back home. We'd just line those pop cans up on some fence posts and call it good.

The thing is, I would love to have one today as well! I had a beautiful one with the Blue Train and all. My dad and I use to build these things together. Today I have to emulate this in a computer game, trains and crossings and signals and large networks of tracks have somehow always fascinated me. When I cross the DonnersbergerBruecke or a large bridge with tracks underneath and see all the trains parked off on separate tracks, I get all nostalgic.

Ok, I realise I'm going to be kicked out of the lady's club now.

or

I used to love this.

I also had a Red Ryder pump gun. And one of these nifty cap guns (but an earlier, more realistic version without the orange nose):



Plus endless refills...

Those were the days...

And them girls had their pleasure ot of it too !!
It would be a while before...Censored...again

replace Boy White Bread with a tanned version of the same age wearing an Alice Cooper/Darth Vader/Corvette iron-on t-shirt, and that's me, playing with them logs.



Vertibirds are worth a lot of money now, from what I google.



Completely awesome, but it met it's end via illegal Mexican-imported firecrackers.

them flipping etch-a-sketches were a bit shite weren't they?
we loved our Atari console:

All this weepy nostalgia "aaaah, I remember x,y,z", "those were the days" etc.

Jeeez. Why did any of you stop buying toys? I still buy loads of crap, and 3Lions buys me toys too. Almost bought a remote controlled dalek at Heathrow the other day. Well cool, but no attachment to bring beer sadly. I also came within a hairs whisker of spanking 150 quid up the wall and buying the original Star Wars droid factory. That was seriously fucking grouse at the time. Best bit was that one of the droids was an R2 style unti, with a MIDDLE LEG that you could then simply slip into your own R2D2 figure. Well cool. I've actually got some well rare red and blue R2 units that I bet NOBODY else on TT has. I can feel your jealousy from here people.

Johnny Seven OMA - That's One Man Army to you suckers!

You'll put your eye out with that boy!
The Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Range Model Air Rifle with a Compass in the Stock and this Thing which tells time.

Guaranteed to shoot anyone’s eye out.

Baltimore police: “The arrival of this new gun has forced us to accept the fact that we’re a bunch of emasculated pansies, and we must make up for that with countless more no-knock raids.�

Can ya tell what is is yet?

This and many many similar kits:


Alas Airfix is no more

This dude was often thrown off our roof

while tied to one of these:

Kewl.

Rizzo,

Is that a xylophone, something like that anyway!

I had one of them, it lasted a week before it broke and we took it back to the shop and swopped it for a train set, which was so much better because I built it up over the years.

All this talk of toys reminded me of an excellent spudgun I used to have. Did a search in google and found this. Apparently it's a spudgun but not quite the same as the one I had when I was a kid.

Aaahh! Good old matchbox..

Maybe I should have been an architect - I used to spend whole days designing and building houses out of these:



Now I have one of these:



I've spent about 20 years trying to solve it, and it's still driving me bonkers!


The thought of a remote controlled dalek racing around Hochbrueck screeching "Exterminate!" and terrorising the locals is really freaking me out!

My brother & I once converted a plastic ornamental (full-sized) duck
into a radio-controlled one. Installed electric motor, rudder & micro
switches for forwards-stop-reverse.

Had a lot of fun with this when we went on holiday to the Norfolk Broads
(thats a river/lake area in East Anglia, UK).

In the evening put duck into water near the staithe (local word
for quay) and wait for victims to walk past. Worth every effort

It is a Stylophone. Literally seconds of fun!

When these things were really popular I could solve them in about 1 minute, it was incredibly easy when you knew how!. I used to have the solution written down on a sheet of A4 paper, but unfortunately I've lost it and I cannot remember how to do it anymore. Amazingly there were actually some books written, which people actually paid money for, which gave you the solution, I've often wondered how they spun it out for so long considering that it could all be written down on one sheet of paper.

Yeah, it was really easy- just peel the stickers off and place them where they need to be.

Anyways- speaking of Star Wars- the thing that impressed me most as a kid was the neighbor of mine named Justin who had a big plastic Darth Vadar mask, which held all the little Star Wars figurines.

my husband saved most of his star wars toys, my oldest son has hours of fun with them.

Corgi and Dinkey Cars - Hours of fun on the bedroom floor.

You need a mat or two as well...
