I still have a bunch of the army men. I should have grabbed them when I was back on the east coast visiting. Now my GI Joe saw lots of hand to hand action with the other iterations of GI Joe on my block in NE Philly. There was an episode or two of the army men having to conquer the invading 12 inch GI Joe from some off world location. My brother had an GI Joe who was black. I don't recall seeing many of those
I don't have any army men, certainly none of the original ones. Nor the GI Joe. I do have a box of legos. I remember the black Barbie's, knock off's mostly. I wanted one, especially because I was a fan of Mannix. I wanted to name her 'Peggy' after Mannix's secretary. The black dolls and action figures weren't so easy to find in our rural area. Luckily, that's not an issue any longer.
