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

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.

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.

Colt 1911A1

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

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!
