What Were Your Favorite Toys??

[John Pertwee]

I will start with this. When I broke my leg I got some goodies. The Coffin shaped puzzle was The Creature



The Ideal Monster game was my favorite game. All I have left is the box, but this is what it looks like.




I also had the Evel Stunt bike, and most of the Six Million Dollar Man toys. I still have the Evel Figure and all the Six Million Dollar Man toys in much loved condition.

I also had the Hall of Justice, the Batmobile and a ton of Mego figures that were beat to death by me and my nieces and nephews. I still Have Spiderman in perfect shape, but mostly because he came a few years later and I took care of him.

After beating my Evel Stunt bike to death with all the jumps, my Mom and Dad got me the real thing. The lower left pic is of me on my Evel Bike, and it is hanging on the wall at the Evel Knieval Museum in Topeka Kansas.

I had lots of toys related to the Marvel Comics, such as the Marvel Flyers, Captain Action, the Aurora models, and Spidey and Cap on wind up tricycles. I also remember having a Spidey hand puppet,  and the 1966 Donruss trading card set.
I used to love and fear the Pop Top monsters! To this day I remember having a nightmare that the executioner figure had come to life and was standing in my bedroom!
Finally, what child of the 1960s didn't have G.I. Joes and space related toys? This was a great decade in which to grow up!

I always enjoyed action figures the most since you could tell stories with the characters.  I especially liked the Kenner Star Wars line, G.I. Joe, Evel Knievel, Star Trek, Six Million Dollar Man and super heroes.   Overall action figures of action heroes.  I always felt Kenner produced the best quality action figures, vehicles and playsets. The toys looked better and we're more durable.

I have many of those toys in my collection today.  I never want to forget the enjoyment those toys gave me when I was a child.

As a child of the 80s, I was a HUGE G.I. Joe A Real American Hero fanatic.  Everything revolved around the toys, comics, and cartoons.  To this day I still collect anything to do with the original run from 1982-1994.  I also enjoyed anything that was a military toy such as a play gun, grenade, camouflage clothing...anything.  All this drove my interest and eventual enlistment in the Army.  I still fondly remember having mock battles during the day with the G.I. Joes in the backyard sandbox.  Then grabbing my gun and running through the woods chasing invisible bad guys.  Once the streetlight came on I went inside and played with my Joe's in the living room while watching horror or sci-fi movies or tv shows.
