Ah man!

I had the Fighting Knights and G.I. Joe's (the action team, scar's and beards, lol)! But I never got the frogman!

Had a few slinkyes.

Oh, Jiffy Pop!

Thanks for the memories!

Man, now I feel old. Had the hot wheels, the decoder ring, the slinkys and GI Joes. Never fuzzy Joe. I think the sea sled is still around somewhere.
How about Major Matt Mason ???
Cheers, Jim

Greetings Zap,
I had all of these toys except frogman and fuzzy Joe. Those playsets: Knights w/Castle, Fort Apache, Bootcamp & Cape Kennedy gave very many hours of fun.
I remember my first GI Joe and several others that I got as a kid. Loved the Jiffy pop and Cracker Jack w/prize in box. Local supermarket now carries both.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I have gotten some of the slinkys for my 3 year old grandson along w/GLJoe and Jiffy Pop.

I took off the GI Joe deep sea helmet so many times he was missing the tip of his nose and his chin was bald!

I considered myself lucky amongst my group of friends to have this growing up. Kept it for years:

I had Fort Apache, and Hot Wheels, but my fav was the fuzzy G.I.Joe, had the helo and the Secret of the Mummy´s Tomb. I had all the Action G.I.Joes except the redhead LOL!

Remember the Pop Corn pan, and the Cracker Jacks, I still remember a nasty song we sang in school about the Cracker Jacks [:D]

Then as a older teen, Estes Rockets and HO train sets [:)]

Thanks for the flashback, when I saw the mummy GI kit at the end of the video I freaked out! Thought I would never see that again!

And Force Commander. And let's not forget the mecha-horses, Andromeda and Oberon. You could combine a Micronaut with his horse and obtain a mecha-centaur.

Here in Italy they were so successful that two more of them were produced basically for the Italian market: King Atlas (red) and Green Baron (er... green).

...And the mega-badass Emperor!

I still have Baron Karza and Force Commander with their horses somewhere in my attic. Time for a trip up there...
