    Found some old toy pics. Yay!

    The Christmas thread in the main forum got me inspired to dig through my old photos again. Nothing real impressive. But old toy pics are a rare find for me so finding ANY is still pretty cool.

    I still have Snarf and Greyskull. No idea what happened to Gurgi or the little light up teddy bear thing. The ET was painted by my Mom in ceramics class for me. Sadly, it broke many years ago.



    Now, these were actually my Mom's dolls. You can see My Buddy and Kid Sister on the left and right. Unfortunately, the Chucky movies kinda ruined them for her and she got rid of them soon after.



    Feel free to post your own pics.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Nice! Man, she did a great job on that E.T.! Yeah, Chucky really did ruin My Buddy, didn't he?

      Cool find. I need to go through a few years of slides to see if I can find any good toy photos. This one I have posted from my gallery photos before. I think it is around 1974 or 75. They are on the Pals vitamin clubhouse which was a mail away from a few years earlier. It lasted until i was too big for it as i would fold it up and put it away between use. Note the picture frame I disturbed when assembling. I dont think those photos ever stood in place. lol.
      It's all good!

        I have a blonde My Buddy doll. Thankfully I never saw the Chucky movies. And I remember that Pal Playhouse mail-away offer. I begged my mom for those vitamins, but there was something in them that discolored my teeth, so she never bought another bottle,

          Me and my Crissy doll, Christmas 1970. I don't know why I brushed her her bangs back. I'm also wearing the snowsuit (jacket not shown) and hat I got that year. If you look closely, to the right there's a "Leapin' Letters" game under the tree. I loved that game!

            Thank you. She has a real talent for it. She could paint the tiniest details. I still have this cute little chipmunk she painted. Must be a little over an inch tall. She painted little stiches on his overalls. Just amazing.

            That's really cute. I like Crissy dolls too.

              Great pics, all of you!

              I had a ceramic ET bank, when ET was big. Though, I'm fairly certain that it was purchased already paint.
