Let's see, I remember:
1) a Howdy Doody marionette
2) Davey Crocket coonskin cap and musket
3) a horse on springs you could rock back and forth while watching the Mickey Mouse Club
4) ice skates designed to torment kids with flat feet (Judy Miekle used to steal my hat and laugh hysterically as I futilely pursued her, I really hated dumb girls, all girls were dumb).
5) a hamster named Nicky who I'm certain my brother poisoned just because of a squeeky wheel.
6) sets-sets were cool. you got a plastice terrain sheet, abunch of soldiers, tanks and cannon, and you fought the blue grey German guys who actually had WMD.
7) I got a microscope to look at protazoa in pond water, cells of all kinds, fly parts, and sperm (I had it in my closet near my hidden Playboys and well, they say most discovery is mere happenstance).
7) Models, I liked to build models. Mostly, (OK, Freudians) I built horror figures, Frankenstein, the Phantom, the Hunchback, the Mummy. Oh and I built a working replica of the guillotine. Sick, very sick indeed.
