Time to get all sentimental.
What were your favourite toys way back when you were a kid?
Lets forget about the staple Lego/action man stuff. Im curious what else people had.
This line of thought stems from driving back from Uni and seeing a heavy duty green bin bag on the side of the road. It reminded me of a line of toys which were moulded rubber monsters (like monster in your pocket) except they came blind boxed in small green bags, themed to be toxic waste monsters. You put them in water and the bag dissolved into a fizzy green mess and you got the monster out of it.
Other than that I did like my Boglins, similar kind of thing. I guess I liked the early Vinyl thing before it became fashionable!
I think I also liked any kind of action figure that "did something". Be it shoot a gun, change colour with heat/water, or have a zip line. I remember really loving a batman figure that had a cool zipline, which of course wasnt that long so I ended up making a massive one.
I also used to like bungee jumping them out my bedroom window by tying them to a chain of rubber bands. Many a sunday afternoon my parents would be washing up and a Teenage Mutant Turtle would fall past the window before rocketing back up
