Nearly every picture in this thread is triggering memories of commercials and the associated songs, and somehow I remember nearly every word.

My apologies for attempting to hijack this thread but since people are remembering the great 80's I figured this was as good a place as any. For a couple years I have been looking for a book I had as a child. I remember it being a rabbit who explored the Incan ruins. I cannot recall the plot and if the story was just placed in that setting or if it explained the history of the Inca. I can just remember the rabbit being amongst stone walls like in Machu Pichu and pictures of sun Gods or relics. Any help would be appreciated.

The only thing that sucked badly was that the show had NO TOY LINE in the Former USA.
When I was a teenager they finally had imported models but by that time and interested in other things. Plus, I remember in like 1989 the models were available for around 150 dollars. I didn't have that kind of money.

I got this in '64. My sisters were all live targets. Mysteriously, it was ran over by my mother on the second day after someone "accidentally" left it behind her car. Which was weird because it was next to my bed when I went to sleep.

Would spend hours on this and sleep wonderfully that night.  " />

When I was a boy, we had these for toys. We could throw them at each other, skip them on a lake, pound on stuff with them, name them, carry them around, and some of us even tried to eat them. It was good enough for us. Y'all is pampered with your insect people.

Back in the 70's my neighbor had black plastic toy pneumatic 2/3rd or 1/2 scale Super Bazooka. It had a red plastic handle where the shoulder brace normally is, that you pumped up several times then pulled the trigger. I guess there was some kind of piston inside that hit a plastic disc to make the loud Boom noise, never seen one anywhere else since then.
Edit: This "might" be it, 1964 Mattel Agent Zero Sonic Blaster, but I don't remember the red pump handle being on top, $250 working condition  :
Edit2: Probably banned because it perforated young ear drums, here we have the Young Snake Pliskin in the original commercial:  Zero-M Sonic Blaster 1960s toy commercial  Attached File |

So many good memories.
My parents must have spent a small fortune prepping me for the military with the amount of GI Joes I had. I guess it worked, no college payments for them! I had the Construx spaceship on pg1, I think it was actually my older brother's. Had the OG Lasertag pistol, in fact, I'm almost certain it's still in my parents' garage. I won it from a local McDonalds in a contest. I don't remember seeing/saying I won it, but I vividly remember my dad getting up to go show the manager the ticket or whatever it was. My contribution: Sky Commanders 
I spent hours staring at that exact pic on one of the little pamphlets that came with one of the toys, wishing I could have them all. The little guys had an arm brace with a bit of elastic cord that they could hang on the bigger cords the vehicles went on. I wound up with: 
Which sucked, because it never stuck like it was supposed to, and this one: 
I think I had one of the bad guys too, which was odd, since I never wanted any of the bad guy GI Joes. |

My absolute favorite toy ever was a Geoffrey Giraffe's play house. It was a gift from Santa in 88 or 87. I was ecstatic about having my own "house" in our house. In reality it was a thick plastic tarp over a PVC frame with some toys-r-us house graphics, but it was a mansion to me. That was the absolute best Christmas morning ever followed by the worst day to date. My mother decided that it was too big for the 2 bedroom townhome and it was taken back the next day. Quite the hangover from an epic high. I have 1 pictures of me hanging out of the flap window, hight of my zenith. I have scoured the internet looking for another, though I am sure they have been lost to time.
