Yes, definitely the green army men. My bearded GI Joe with the scuba accessories and fake shark was great plus my Lincoln Logs and Rockem Sockem Robots. Those were all great
That big frikkin top with the metal screw top you would pump up and down...man I loved that! BTW I didn't see any girl toys in that lists.
I had a Thompson sub-machine cap gun and a bazooka that lauched little blue payloads.
They were the best.
Army men! My brother and I had green, blue, and gray men, so we could have three-sided battles if we had a friend over.
Damn! I forgot about Rockem Sockem Robots!!!!
Lawn Darts. My grandparents bought those for me when I was seven. It took them about 1 minute to realize how dangerous they were. The lawn darts disappeared.
I remember this one fondly...

I got one at 11 and gave one to my kid when he was 9, so it's a childhood toy.

yeah, i always got underwear for Christmas...but Fruit of the Loom was a LOT more fun than Haynes ... wheeee!
When I was a kid we would go on field-trips to the Tonka toy factory. It was the best dang trip ever. You got a free dune-buggy at the end!
Nancy, Robin, Grace, etc...
Flexie, for sure.
I had a wrist-rocket slingshot. Birds hated me! LOL
