See...I always liked the concept of the X-Ray glasses, but hey...I knew they were fake, any stupid kid could see that.
But a full size Polaris submarine, now I could believe in THAT!
No one wants to see bones.
We want boobs!
We didn’t have any money (or surrogate parental interest in) stuff like that, but the ads in comic books always caught my eye. I wanted the Polaris missile submarine, as I was kind of into submarines then.
I got a little gray plastic submarine that you put baking soda into the conning tower, put the top on, and it would float up and down in the tube.
Does this count?
OK, if not, I did buy the long thick blue MARX model of the USS Nautilus about 1956 or so.
