I came across this when searching for 'little person'. I had these when I was a kid. Actually, I still have one left. Snoopy Fireman. I think I still have the firetruck somewhere. Those kids always smelled like baby powder no matter how many times you held them under the water. (I was Yates before Yates was Yates) The boy actually looked just like the little girl that lived next door to me with cerebral palsy. I had these bitches and they had this connectible town with a nighclub, barber shop, restaurant and apartment. I still have this thing. It's sittin' out in the garage. I remember 'apple' sounded like 'pot hole' and 'biscuit' was pronounced, "beesket".
Oh man. My mother didn't let me have any toys besides trucks and knives because she was trying to raise me without gender roles. I was so gypped!
One of my favorites, maybe thats why I like the A-10 so much.......or because it can shoot through tanks, I havent decided yet....
M.A.S.K http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=Nd&q=m.a.s.k+toys&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi Oh and my friend got to have G.I Joe's, but I never got to have any because they were for rich kids, though its a shame, all he ever used to do was break them and he had hundreds.
And of course these things were awesome: My favorite ones had the doors that opened. What was that thing called that ran on a track and you had those trigger things to make the cars go? Sometimes they would spark? I used the trigger to pretend that I worked at Hills Department Store and I would scan clothes with my play cash register.
Yeah, those rocked. I had a Jeep set with a twistable "Snake Track" than glowed in the dark. The Jeeps had headlights. I think I need a new one.
Actually, I have one of these now. 4 people in my office bought one. We fly them in the main showroom on slow days.
Stompers. I had a whole ass load of those. The ones that you put the single AA battery in. Usually looked like monster trucks, but later had tanks and stuff. Had some pretty cool tracks with those too. Had the 'high/low' switch under neath them. High would haul ass, but low would climb over anything. Pretty fucking awesome. I used to love them things.
