Vintage Home Movies: Mego & More!

[imp]

Here's some fun vintage 1970s toy goodness to get you in the mood for Christmas!

Christmas 1976 and Steve's 9th birthday

I spotted:

0:32 MOC Mego Star Trek
0:36 MIB Kenner 6MDM
0:55 MIB Mego Star Trek Enterprise Playset
1:03 Another shot of MOC Star Trek/6MDM

Richardson's Christmas 1975

This is filled with great footage of a kid playing with his Ideal Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle.

Christmas 1978

No toys, but this vintage home movie can get any Gen-Xers in the mood. It's loaded with 70s goodness: Chutes Away. Streisand and "Grease" on LP. Upright Pinball Machine. Lava Lamp. The most hideous fur coat you have ever seen (chinchilla!) and ONE. THICK. WHITE. BELT.

Do you have links to other Youtube clips with vintage 70s Christmas memories?

In addition to the fabulous gift of Jules Fieffer's "The Great Comic Book Heroes", one of the kids is holding Mego's Star Trek Super Phaser II.

And amongst all this fun, the kids have no inkling their world is going to explode into magical wonders in exactly 6 months.
