Our childhood toys

[Time Traveller 66]

The one thing I remember about childhood toys was the advertising and artwork on the box depicted how you will have an amazing experience way over and above anything you could imagine and with a high degree of realism.

Yes i agree the action toys had backgrounds which made you want one on the TV great marketing.

Great memories had those cap bombs jumping toys. Best toy gun for sound had like a plastic ring of caps that into the chamber of the gun and that would frighten the life out of you.

You had to have the right guns to hit double caps hard enough!

we used to stand on high walls and throw them up hoping for a louder bang...happy days

You could buy “Caps” for cap guns in little rolls coiled up in a small round paper box. We used to fold them over, double or triple etc to make a louder bang.

One day I struck a whole box with a big stone, the resulting band nearly deafening me.
