Toys of the 1970's


Most young people today tend to think of the 1970's as a goofy world of disco music, campy TV shows, outrageous fashion, and untrimmed body hair. Okay, they have a point. But to those of us who grew up in that era, it was a decade full of fantastic pop culture, especially the toys. From Big Wheels to Big Jim, from Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces to Slinkies and Lite Brites and Snoopy Snow Cone Machines, it was a great time in which to grow up. What some of us wouldn't give to be able to go back to those hot, hot summer days, schlepping to the store to buy Star Wars cards or pop rocks, only to come home and have a huge action figure battle on the porch with all of our Mego heroes and badguys with an Evel Knievel or Micronaut thrown in....
