Larry and Salty reminded me of Big Jim and his rescue rig which brings back memories. He had a band you put on his triceps that when you bent his arm it would explode off.
How about the Evil Knievil action figure with wind up motorcyle and ramp. That thing was indestructable.
Did anyone have the Six Million Dollar Man with the eye you could look through? A part of his arm would pop off, exposing the bionic arm. I had many battles with Gi Joe, Big Jim and Steve Austin.
Stretch Armstrong. You could pull him into riduclous lengths without him breaking.
Real cap guns!

Funny thing, I don't remember many "toys".
I was outside ALL the time.
Skating and sledding in the winter. (seems like we had snow in FEET back then)
Kickball or whiffle ball game every single night in the warm months and my bike.
We didn't come home till after dark (when the streetlights came on).
Left as fast as we could eat our Cheerios in the morning.

I had that! too cool!
My fav toys and big christmas presents for me were star wars toys, I remember that if you collected the first 12 figures and sent in the proof of purchase, you got the Boba Fett figure free.
Funny, these toys are still popular over 30 years later

I had a bunch of those Star Wars figures and the space ships, X-wing fighters, etc... I remember pulling the arm off Luke Skywalker and telling everyone that Darth Vader cut it off with the light saber.
I also had the Lincoln Logs, Legos, Rock Em' Sock Em's, the Evil Kenevil motorcycle and bus and half a garage filled with sporting goods.
But the thing I liked playing with most was the little girl who lived diagonally across the street. She was so cute with her little white knee highs and pig tails. If I only had half a clue as to what I should have been doing. Oh, the good old days.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
