arms went numb!...

I remember I had a toy as a kid that was TOTALLY misrepresented in the commercials. It was some kind of rubbery flying dinosaur lizard or something, it came in a plastic egg, and you were supposed to be able to rip parts of it off and reattach them with other toys in the series. I want to say there was a cyclops, "mine" and maybe a dragon???

 

I got the toy on my 7th birthday, proceeded to rip a wing off joking with my mom and guess what...it didnt stick back on. terrible day for me

 

this was in 84. I still remember how mad my mom was that I destroyed that thing immediately after I opened it

I had a Texaco gas station made out of pressed tin, with the "Big Red Star" and fully operable garage doors . . .

How about Shogun Warriors???

I had a gun that had film strips that you would thread into the gun and then it projected a picture of the filmstrip on the wall (it was all monsters, as i recall). When you depressed the trigger, a pin would poke a hole in the film strip and it would look like you were shooting at the monsters. I was 6 or 7 (so circa 1976-7) and thought it was the greatest thing since popcorn. I've never been able to track any info down or heard from anyone else who had one.

I have an original set of Jarts in the box with the scoring hoops and everything. My law partner's mom was throwing them out in the garbage. Same way i scored a boxed Sears version of the Atari console.

Shogun Warriors I had the giant sized Mazinga and my cousin had Raydeen. Those toys were awesome when we were kids. I remember Stretch Armstrong and G.I. Joe with the kung fu grip
