Post a Picture of Your Favorite Childhood Toy!

[Shakeydave]

The Evel Knievel Motorcycle Launcher! Rad dude of the nieghborhooood, ..........for all of two weeks til the older kids broke it! Sumbishes!

[RememberJohn]

1. mine... had many of these

[Shakeydave]

17. Every action figure I got....................

my brother would tie to his bike and drag it around until it was a mess! Ahhhhh, siblings! :hi:

[Archae]

2. I had that toy too!

Crank up the motorcycle, (the noise drove my parents nuts,) and let her rip!

We crashed our Evel almost as many times as the real thing did! :-)

But this was my favorite, "Major Matt Mason and his space station!"

[Shakeydave]

18. That thing is freakin'...............

HUGE! Good stuff! :thumbsup: Was it for Christmas, B-Day?

[Archae]

29. Christmas

Late 1960's.

I was about 8 or 9.

I freaked.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. I don't think I had that big one

But I had others from that set. I remember that astronaut, and I had a land-roving kind of moon buggy thing, that was rather impressive, and some other rover thingabob, plus a few other accessories.

Any idea who the manufacturer was? I have them no longer, but often think of them. That would be early 70s for me when I got them.

[SOteric]

3. Erm... Anyone got a link to a mud puddle...?

[RememberJohn]

4. Got this from your mom...

[SOteric]

5. Yup, -that'd be the stuff!

Thank you, thank you.

[Shakeydave]

20. I married me a girl like that!

Now shes all cleaned up and citified though!

[SOteric]

And hopefully,

older.

[Shakeydave]

28. Errrrrrr. Ummmmmmmm. Yeah.................

sure. Gotta go!

[SOteric]

31. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

:spank:

[ForrestGump]

40. I like to play in the mud, too

Daisy-Mae, Peggy-Sue, Good-Golly-Miss-Molly.....wanna play in the mud with me again?





Yea, shall I allow the waters to bear her weight....

[ForrestGump]

6. Many's the hour that I could be found playing with my Big Jim

And the Jungle Truck!

[SOteric]

9. Wow! What a protruberance!

...on that rhino.

[ForrestGump]

36. Yeah, it's tumefacient

Lady, kindly unhand my Big Jim....

[SOteric]

39. That's

not what you said last night! *sniff*

[GOPisEvil]

41. Oh, last night he was all, play with my Big Jim, and now...

...he's withholding? Tsk, tsk...

[SOteric]

44. *LOL*

Guys! - Who can figure 'em out? :shrug:

[ForrestGump]

54. It's the 'witholding method,' dude....

you've got to have a lot of self-control for it, though. I'm in danger of failing most heinously.....

[ForrestGump]

42. But last night you weren't using your GI Joe Kung Fu Grip

Ouch.....

[SOteric]

45. Oh Right..

It was all lip-service.

[ForrestGump]

52. *gulp*

No, I mean, really.....*gulp*

:o

I almost hate to say it, but my Big Jim came with a muscle expander - you tighten it around his muscle, then flex, and the thing pops right off as the muscle expands.

Perhaps this explains a few things.......

[GOPisEvil]

53. I'm just going to preemptively take my cold shower now.

:-)

[SOteric]

56. !

[ForrestGump]

60. Horny devil

Is that a beard, or are........

........no......no.....I shan't.



Wouldn't be prudent.



Mama raised me too good.

[ForrestGump]

58. Dude, don't leave me in here with that lip servicer

I'm scared. Hold my hand.

Any moment now, she's going to drop her....................pun.








I can feel it!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

59. If you're going to be the victim of a pun...

...just lay back and enjoy it.

[SOteric]

61. I'm not sure I can pun

I'm still trying to figure out how you could take a cold shower in your golf cart. - And where to set the webcam, of course.

[ForrestGump]

64. I've got a Wetcam you can borrow

Perhaps the images of GOPisEvil in shower action will promote world peace and harmony, put an end to 'reality' shows, and cure more than a few male DUers of the curse of hairy palms.

Of course, if there's a yak in that shower then the consequences would be completely unpredictable.

[SOteric]

65. And

cure some female DU'ers of incipient blindness. - The dude is a cutie, even with his hat off.

[ForrestGump]

67. But it's no good......I cannae hold the focus!

The lens is all steamed up. Darn that sex machine and his steamy shower......

[GOPisEvil]

69. Wait...I steamed my cold shower?

Damn, I'm good! :D

[Jonte_1979]

10. I had a Big Jim too

Alas, I ouldn't afford any clothes for him.

[Shakeydave]

21. OK! So mine was named "Little Dave"!

What's it to ya!

[ForrestGump]

38. That's nothing to be ashamed of

Not now that you're Dave, Destroyer of Underwear.......is it true that the anatomically-correct Hulk plush toy was modeled after you?

[ForrestGump]

37. I used to make quite a few for him

I was quite the little seamster....

[mike6640]

13. oh man!

we used to pile everyone in (gi joe & jim et al) and tie a clothesline to the center of the jeep. We would go into the driveway and spin around until they all fell out, or we couldn't stand, whichever came first.

[ForrestGump]

43. Happy times!

Of course, aimlessly spinning around has since become kind of a recurring motif in my life......

[Drifter]

70. Yeah ... Big Jim

I had the camper, and various other related things. Big Jim was my favorite (undoubtedly because my name is Jim). I'm pretty sure my folks still have this stuff in their attic.

Cheers
Drifter

[bocadem]

7. Gi Joe

I loved those toys..

[Andy_Stephenson]

8. Do I send the bill for a ruined

Monitor and Keyboard to you? I spit and entire mouthfull of tea on them as I laughed uncontroallably.

[bocadem]

12. you can send it...

but i might not pay... ;)

did you laugh at the gi joe pic or the previous one?

[Shakeydave]

22. Very cool!

What other accessories did you have?

[mike6640]

11. here's mine

They produced back in the late 50's, but somehow my parents got one for us boys in the mid 70's.

[Shakeydave]

23. Don't tell me! You're an......

engineer or architect?

[BiggJawn]

66. I had one of those!

Red snap-together girders and silver and blue plastic "skin" panels, right? It was the mid-60's when I had mine...

[Andy_Stephenson]

14. Legos

[Shakeydave]

24. My leggo structures....................

never came out looking like that! It was frustrating!

[classics]

15. My 1000th post is dedicated to...

My glorious Atari 2600!

[Shakeydave]

25. My folks refused to buy us one!

We would hang out at a friends house that had it though!

[a_random_joel]

16. Rock em sock em robots

Who remembers?

[RememberJohn]

19. One Christmas the stores were out of them...

...so my parents got us "Karate Robots"

http://www.robot1968.com/MORE%20ROBOTS%20READY%20FOR%20SITE!/NEWEST!/newest%20fotoshoped!/newwwesst!/karatetomy.jpg

[Shakeydave]

26. I loved the sound they made.............

when you "Knocked My Block Off"!

[SPICYHOT]

27. But I don't have any of my toys

and my new toys are not able to show

[ronnykmarshall]

30. Matchbox Cars

My brother and I collected them. They were our favorite toys. I think we had almost every one in this catalog. Even that cool pink trailer.

Gawd! The stories we would make up playing with those puppies.

[GOPisEvil]

35. I think I had (still have, I think) all of those!!!

Except the trailer. That 1964 Chevy Impala Taxi reminds me of a car my dad had. Except his wasn't taxi yellow. :-)

My parents have my cases of cars in their attic. :-)

[ForrestGump]

47. I had some of 'em.......they got pretty abused

even though I was good with my toys. Definitely remember the racing car, the Mercedes, and the horse thingy. Great stuff. When they got in really bad shape we'd do a demolition derby, the ultimate coming when a few accidentally got run over by my parents' car. They didn't fare well.

[GOPisEvil]

49. The Iso Grifo was my favorite!

Never heard of one, and the name cracked me up when I was little. OK, it cracks me up today too. :-)

Mine are in bad shape, too...but they're a connection to my childhood, which might be useful someday.

[ForrestGump]

55. Yep, still got my survivors tucked away,

along with all my Big Jim stuff and my Mattel "Heroes In Action" soldier dudes......and just about every other toy that survived moves and time. I'm gonna have a totally excellent second childhood!

Well, third childhood, maybe.....unless you consider that the first one's yet to end.

I'll bring my Matchbox toys over to your unit in the Old Fogeys' Home and we can play with them......

[GOPisEvil]

57. Did you have that little town thing?

It folded up into a case, and had stores, etc. I'll make sure to find mine so we can have more fun! :-)

[Art_from_Ark]

50. Matchbox cars

Back in the good old days, the locally-owned hardware store (remember those?) actually had a toy section where Matchbox cars ("Made by Lesney of England") were prominently displayed. Oh the dreams I had looking at that display!

[DemoTex]

33. Heathkit HR10 Ham radio receiver

[Skittles]

34. GOLLIWOG

I know it's not PC now but as a child in England I LOVED that damn doll.

[athos1126]

46. This was mine!

*drool*

[cosmicdot]

48. still have my skate key

American Plastic Bricks

[Art_from_Ark]

51. I had those American plastic bricks, too

I spent hours building houses withose things

[ronnykmarshall]

62. Me too.

That and Legos. We used to make Lego houses for our Matchbox cars. Those we're the days.

[ForrestGump]

63. For my second childhood........
