I know that I am taking this to a whole other level, but what the heck? I still get a little warm when I see an old photo of Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. I preferred to watch this show alone, without my pants around...
I fixed that for you, crsutton. [:D]

Boy I remember all these shows with fondness. I also remember playing with the G.I. Joe dolls errr I mean action figures with the kid across the street. His parents had set him up a sand box just for playing with the figures.
I was never into GI Joe much, but my brother and I each used to get one of these sets every Christmas. Man we had some epic struggles in the back yard with our little green army men armies lol.

I made these 50 years ago with my big brother's lead casting set. The set was his father's (half brother) and dated back to the 1930s. It still works today.

I had about a company of these little Japanese WWII soldiers in various poses. I took one end of a tin pencil lead holder (looked like a Contac capsule but larger) and made a stand to hold it out of a paper clip. I made a number of these assemblies. Then I loaded them with match heads and wadded up some aluminum foil to make the projectiles. Sometime I used a big one or other times a number of smaller ones like cannister. I lined up the Japanese troops like they were assaulting and set up my battery facing them. All I had to do was hold a lit match under my tin cannons and they would fire. The soldiers would melt and the aluminum balls would melt into them. Maybe I would've made a good General LeMay.

I hope you didn't stick your fingers in your mouth after handling those. Antimony, another great thing to make toys out of that kids will suck on.

... used New-Year firework petards (the one doing "Booom") imitating artillery effect on troops ...
... used the same to blow holes into several model ships (actually re-used empty cigarette packages, held together with paper, adhesive tape and glue) ... their survival was tested after battle on whatever "pond" was around...
