Childhood toys...

[Mr Pig]

I'd almost forgotten Pocketeers....

Oh yeah :0) They were crap though. What about Remus Play Kits?

I also used to buy these snap together plastic kits that ran on AA batteries. There was a whole range and I must have had most of them. You got cars, boats, planes, even an army truck. Took me about three weeks to save enough for one :0)

Colditz was brilliant we spent weeks playing that as well. Chasing that card that got you a ride in the German Staff Car and an escape brill.
Already been on E-Bay looking at Action Men.

Fuzzy Felt: I depicted an accurate part of a DNA double helix, only for the stoopid teacher to exclaim: "what is it?"

Top Trumps: My favourite was the WWII tanks. My 88mm flak gun totally pwns your Bren gun.

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Buy some packets of caps.
No cap gun? No problem, just find a nice ergonomic stone and sit there banging them on the paving slab.

 

[longers]

Fold them over first for a huge bang. "Pow!!"

Spud guns I liked a lot.

What was that set of action figures, smaller than action man, more like Star Wars figures size? There was a comic that went with them.

My cousin was mad for them and I've only just remembered that I can't remember what they were.

I think the bad guy wore red .

My sister had a set of dolls that all smelled funny.

Penelope Cheesecake?
