I wish I still had my Optumious Prime Transformer toy. The one that was metal plated (or made of metal?). Yeah that thing was boss! Great for the bubble baths.
I'll yell ditto on the Alien action figure. Besides a few Transformers, my Alien is the ONLY toy I still jave thats in mint condition in its box. Its missing the little plastic head covering after lots of kid play, but thats it. It litterally shaped my life in a way, got me into special effects & animation, which is what I do now. I saw Alien when it 1st came out on video when I was barely 10 back in 1980 or 81.. Loved it ever since. It'll probably end up burried with me or destroyed by my son=(
I know I already mentioned two others, but I just remembered these. Whenever I was sick or something pretty crappy happened to me I'd get to pick out one of these. For something so, simple, it was always a lot of fun:
I had a toy snub nosed 38 detective gun, with a shoulder holster.
It had plastic bullets that hooked into the rim of a brass shell. You placed a cap on the back of the shell, loaded the pistol, and when you pulled the trigger the cap went off with a "bang" and the plastic bullet shot out of the pistol.
That was before bicycle helmets, kneepads, and safety concerns. When parents let us actually try and kill each other. We also got to play with toys that had lead paint.
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
