Toy's you've always wanted but never got (back in the day)

[david_b]

Wow.. these are items I always wanted between '69 and '75..:

An ElectroLight set
Rockem' Sockem Robots
MMMS Spiderman plastic pillow (like in the vintage Marvel ads..)
Like Jessica, one of those big rubber balls with handles
Trek and POTA Mego figures..
GI Joe ATV or a helicopter.. (I had 3 fuzzy heads and the headquarters, but practically no equipment sets.. they all had to walk until I FINALLY got an 'Arial Recon' set, or use the MMM jetpack..)
Captain Action Batman, Robin, Spiderman, or Captain America
Space:1999 Mattel Eagle

I finally got the C/A, Joe vehicles, Megos and Mattel Eagle in the last 10 years.., AND THEY ARE AWESOME..

Back in the day I was obsessed with 12' GI Joes and they were readily available back then. Always wanted a Captain Action but never got around to it. I cannot even remember seeing them in stores back then. Right now I am concentrating on the Playing Mantis reissues but will move to the genuine articles when I can find/afford them. I was a little old for the Megos when they came out but can appreciate their following that they have now and plan to add some to the collection as well.

Was always hoping to find a Mego Green Arrow and Thing. Never came across them in my youth at the store. Would have liked Shogun Warriors too, but they must have cost too much for Santa to get me at Christmas-time.

Shogun Warriors Mazinga and Dragun (I only had Raydeen)

Mego Batcave

Fisher Price Little People Sesame Street playsets

Green Machine

Six Million Dollar Man Oscar Goldman, Bigfoot, and Maskatron

All toys that I knew about as a kid and wanted badly but never got....and I still don't have them.

Mego Shazam and the Mego KISS figures are what come to mind right away.
