Oh yeah, caps and hammers!

I swear, right? Every time I go into a dollar store I see them and think I need to get some just to smell those things again!

I'm gonna flippin' do it! YOLO!

My 70 year old sister in law to this day puts caps and hammers in my sons' Christmas stockings.

Now THAT'S a WOMAN.
You would appreciate her, Jersey Girl.

My favorite was the Vegan Hitler action figure.

Are you referring to this doll?

I sure would! If you ask me, we'd all be a lot better off if we hammered a roll of caps now and then!

Oh man, I used to love going to my friend's house to play with his He-Man toys. They were all so cool. Skunkore (sp?) actually stunk. Mossman was fuzzy. I remember there was another one that squirted water... can't remember its name though.

In the Christmas thread, there were a few great little adverts posted by Blixa, of toys from Christmas past. Filled this feller with some toasty nostalgia thinking about some of my past Christmas gifts. So, what were some of your favorites, and/or most memorable?

Two toys that I spent numerous hours with were:

Something similar to this, but the one I had actually flew in a fixed perimeter. Like the example below, the helicopter had a hook that allowed you to scoop up things and whisk them away elsewhere:

Something similar to this, but it was a yellow bell diver that had a mechanical claw on the bottom and the trick was to pick up items on the bottom (the imaginary ocean floor) and bring them to the surface.
