Wow, Craig and I had similar childhoods!!

His list and mine are very similar. I would just add drawing pads, coloring books, comic books, model kits, and any Banana Splits items!

Ahh.. childhood toys. That's why I collect toys to this day.

Adventure Team GI Joe
Big Jim
Micronauts
Shogun Warriors
Mego superheros
SSP cars
TTP-like SSP, but they used air to power the vehicles

Here's a pic with some of my Jim's and TTP vehicles in the middle left corner (bionic woman and man)

First memory of toys I liked is a rubber jointed alligator and a space ship bank - probably 56-57. Then a cowboy gun Fanner 50, Fighting Lady Battleship, armymen, jungle animals, especially liked rubber knives/bayonets, anything to "play army" outside. Dad provided us with tons of leftover Korean War real stuff - helmet, canteen, ammo box etc. - even a gas mask! Eventual and still champion favorite is MARX Prehistoric Playset. Models - fighter planes, tanks and Monsters, rubber spiders, comics and so on. Around 1967 I discovered guitar then drifted away from toys, rats ! Missed alot of good stuff!
