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...
Baby Catch A Ball from Deluxe Reading, 1969. This was the first doll I clearly remember asking for after seeing the commercial on TV when I was 3. When you could get it to work right, she actually played catch w/ you.

Mid 70's --- Red short ski's that were marketed toward kids.
Were really short, like maybe a foot and a half long... came with telescoping ski poles.
For a short time they were really popular around my neck of the woods.
Concept looks good on paper, but in practice it was almost impossible not to fall down because of the very short ski's making you lose your balance often.
Does anybody else remember matches? I used to love playing with those!
Hahaha!! Yeah, matches were such a fun toy. And gasoline, if you could get your hands on that.
It's a wonder I lived through childhood.
BTW, Klosterheim...was the vehicle you're thinking of a Big Trak? It had treads and was programmable. It also had an optional trailer/canopy thing, and was 3-3/4" figure-sized (though it didn't have a cockpit). No gold claws that I recall, though:

Loved Big Trak. MY neighbor had it, but I never got one (our mom's worked together on the assembly line at the Milton Bradley plant near Springfield, MA that Christmas, he got the Big Trak, I got the Starbird, which I loved as well), though I did get to play with his when we were hanging out.

No, sorry SKot. The toy vehicle may have been a very limited production.
It was probably a little closer to the design of the 1986 G.I. Joe H.A.V.O.C., but more dark colors, with black and a little gold.
I used to have these plastic shields that superhero printed like capt, spidey and I think supes but not sure. I had the capt and spidey I do know. They had those tri-wing circular plastic spinners that you clipped on the end of the handle and pulled the cord and they would launch and fly at each other. I really loved those. I know there is a pic of me and my neighborhood pals playing with them somewhere and when I find it I will post it. I also loved splash darts in the summer which fortunately I still have. Thanks Mom. RIP.
