Got one of these Christmas of ‘65. I was nine. next year it was Hasbro’s “Horrible Hamilton. Those were the days.
Christmas 1956 I got a Mattel Thunderburp tommy gun. BRAAAAP!
Fall 1970 they issued me an M-16.
Remember the “Thingmaker” in the sixties? It was a hot plate that cured smelly liquid plastic in molds that made bugs and such. I wonder how many houses burned down from those. I remember leaving mine on and accidentally stepping on it in the dark and burning the $h!+ out of my foot.
