    Your Oldest Xmas Present...

    What is your oldest Christmas Present that you still have? I still have the fischer price toys my parents got me when I was 3 years old. I still have some Star Wars stuff and my Dragonriders playset.
    Whats yours?

      Grover hand puppet, most probably.
      Either him or Big Jim; tho they may have come from the same year.

        A Washington Redskins Rawlings Youth Football Helmet. My mom took a picture of me wearing it when I was 2. It is the Lombardi "R" yellow helmet worn one year.

                The only one I can clearly say came from Christmas that I still have were my Gabriel Lone Ranger Silver and Scout horses my grandparents got me in the early 80s.

                  I still have a rubber duck that a neighbour bought me for Christmas when I was 8 days old. I wasn't due to be born until a couple weeks after Christmas, so no one really had Christmas presents ready for me. Well, I showed up early and only got that damn duck for Xmas. 8 days old, I'd like to see someone beat that! Other later Christmas presents I still own include a Mego Batcopter (think I got that when I was six) Shogun Warriors Godzilla, Mego Gene Simmons, some KISS records and some assorted books.

                    I still have the old 16" Roadmaster banana seat bike my mom won in a contest and gave me for X-mas when I was 6 months old. Somewhere there's a pic of my parents holding me on it in front of the tree. I rode it from about 3rd grade through 9th. Some day I'll restore it and get back out there on it, but that'll take a fair amount of work.

                      Probably something from the first Star Wars movie but I'm hazy on timeline of when I got most of the figures. Definite Christmas gifts still in my possession are the Creature Cantina and Darth Vader's Tie Fighter.

                          Blonde GI Joe Air Adventurer. Must've got him when I was 4 or 5. We wen tot school and friend;s houses and had deep-sea and sky diving adventures in yards, swiming pools, and trees all through my childhood.

                          Also, a green-bodied FP little person (the wood kind!) who I think came from the FP Garage set I got when I had to be 3 or 4. I can still remember teaming him up with one of the shorter figures (orange body) as a kind of hero and kid sidekick and having them go on all sorts of adventures using a pair of proze machine bubbles as space helmets and the FP farm playset's silo as a rocket. I was practically like Andy in Toy Story with those two, who had a secret mountain cave base in our toy chest and faced adventures like giant apes (plush monkey) using all manner of Tog'l block cars and rocket packs and other Jonny Quest inspired equipment. That green guy stands very proudly in my collection case.

                            Probably my Emerald The Witch doll. I got her for Christmas when I was 6 in 1972.

                              A stuff dumbo and a stuffed monkey. Got them both for my first Christmas. They are in terrible shape now (I must have been really hard on them as a kid), but I display them proudly in my house.
