Vintage toys...what do you remember??

[Mermaid02]

I just looked up the "inch worm" toy on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11746&item=5980154228&rd=1

If that did not work, this toy is going for $152. I still think that the are cute.


RickinNYC--I felt the same way about Lite-Brite. My DD was given one for Christmas this year. After DS2 came downstairs with a peg up his nose, I decided it would go in the trash.

I am still thinking of some other "vintage" toys.

I have one of these in my attic!!! Hey Inchy- you're going on EBAY!!

Inchworm riding toy was my DD's favorite. She also loved her big wheel.

I'm so old that most of the toys mentioned in this thread were toys my "kids" played with!

Major Matt Mason.

Verti-bird....was a helicopter that would actually fly around in a circle.

Hot Wheels Sizzlers

Batman costume....Had two buddies which lived nearby...we were always playing together. One day, one of the other moms brought home three batman masks/capes for us to play with. To complete the outfit, we each snuck in to our respective kitchens and borrowed our mom's Playtex gloves (used for dishwashing...does anyone even use these anymore?). We were quite a sight. One of the kids actually had the Batbelt...we hated him for that. The same kid had a secret agent briefcase which would actually launch a plastic missile.

Duncan butterfly yo-yo's...we went to K-Mart to see the Duncan "Pro" one time.

The Golden Knight...an action figure with horse...both had full sets of medieval armor.

Plastic bowling pins and the little blue ball. Was there ever a more lame game than this. Anyone ever play more than one frame due to the lack of finding someone to set up the pins each time?

Here's a whole bunch of good ones -

This made me laugh because my kids play with my old little people toys at my mom's and all of the foam is ripped off the beds

That's what little brothers were for Never could get a good hook on my cement basement floor, though.

My mom saved all of our Fisher price stuff--the circus, the house, the farm, the amusement park. She also saved most all of my Barbies and my daughters played with them. My skippers were all flat chested, though.
I still have Chrissy, Velvet, Mrs. Beasley, and one I haven't seen mentioned--a Monkees hand puppet. I got it for my 4th BDay in 1967. It has 4 heads on top and you put a finger in each head, then you would pull the string and it would say lines from the show and you'd make the puppets move. It doesn't talk anymore, though.

Some That I think about right away:
Chatty Cathy
Swingy
Stratego-
Battleship
Hands Down
Mystery Date
Especially loved the Suzy Homemaker oven, washing machine etc.
For some reason I thought that was fun!
Now I hate cooking & cleaning!
I actually bought Mystery Date & Swingy doll on Ebay a few years ago.

I just saw Mrs. Beasley in the Vermont Country Store catalog for about 80 bucks.
Anyone remember the board game "Park and Shop"? I could play that game for hours on end. Girls of the 70's, remember Mystery Date?

 

[RickinNYC]

What in God's name is Tony the Pony? Sounds like a bad "naughty movie" name.

OMG! That is exactly what I thought!!!

My brother had these SSP cars. They were these metal cars and you put this T shaped key inside them and pulled the key out as hard as you could to power them. I loved these cars. They came in all these cool colors and I rmember these being the first toy that I catually knew how to play with correctly.

 

[RickinNYC]

Anyway remember T-racers (think that's what they were called). They were "boy toys" (ducking anything that might be thrown at me). They were these long souped up race cars that you shoved a piece of plastic though and yanked back out. It'd make the tires spin and race off when you put them on the floor. Loved them!

I liked those also( even though I'm a girl!). I remember using in the street and the car would keep going under the parked cars.

Baby Tender Love -- I'm getting all verklempft just thinking about her. Speak amongst yourselves...

 

[Bichon Barb]

I used to get together with my friends to play Barbies. Between the townhouse, the van, the airplane, the dreamhouse, the pool, etc., we'd have a whole Barbie city.
