This bad boy is still alive and kicking it in the toy room at my parents. Although now it tends to house Poly Pockets, and Ponies. :confused:

I no longer have the shoulder holster that came with it, but I still have my Dick Tracy snub nose 38 cap gun!

My mom was the master of finding discontinued toys on sale at Pic N' Save stores. We ended up with about 10 of these (some duplicates) for about $0.75 each one year.

We also got a nice little hoard of these one year too.

My baby brother died when I was just about to turn 3 years old. My father ended up lavishing me with boys toys. I'm not sure if he would have done that anyway, but he did. As I mentioned before, I had a toy rifle that I pretended to be Chuck Connor's from The Rifleman and I'm darn sure I was just as fast a quick as he was. I totally open carried. ;-)

I had dolls of course, but this was one of my favorite's from Christmas.

I have pics of me riding it with this on my head:

I had this little deal to go with the helmet:

I also had my own bow and arrows (real ones), my own tent, underwater diving gear (real tank, mask, snorkel, fins), trucks and all sorts of boys toys.


If you asked me what was my favorite thing to play with bar none, it would be these and a HAMMER. :biggrin:

Okay one girl toy to keep it honest.

We drove to the bakery and dressed her in my coat and snow pants. She was the same size as me when I got her.
