Cap gun! Put a roll of red caps in the thing and have at it. They were generally chrome plated and looked like Colt single actions. There were fancy holsters too!

Stretch Armstrong was great. We would try soooo hard to break him.
And of course Barbies, and books.
Slime was cool too, although you are probably too old to remember that.

The Chrissy dollAnyone remember Chrissy? I got her as a Christmas gift when I was 8. Not a baby doll, but not a Barbie, either, she was bigger than a Barbie but looked more like a teen. She had red hair in a fashionable short bob. Or was it short? Surprise! When you turned a knob on her back, her hair grew longer, down to her ankles (and wound back in). One of my most memorable toys.

You can still buy Rockem Sockem Robots (see below).
Check out this catalog. It has all sorts of oldie-but-goodie toys.

I always wanted a gree-machine, but frowing up rural it was not even practical (dirt roads.) They sure looked cool though. Any Freepers actually have one of the much coveted green-machines? Can't complain to much though as I did have what a lot of city-kids wanted - A Horse!!

I had a wrist-rocket slingshot. Birds hated me! LOL
Those are the BEST! My boys got some last summer and I got in trouble on account of one within 10 minutes! :-)

LOL...easy mistake. I also had the knob and rod controlled hockey rink where you'd flip the puck around on the miniaturized rink by twisting the controls and sliding the players around on the table. That and the, lame by todays standards, electric vibrating football field. You'd line up your players and turn on the power and hope the guy with the little foam football vibrated his way to a touchdown.
