Favorite SF&F Toys?

[dustinzgirl]

You guys can laugh at me all you want, my hubby does---

I have care bears. Yes I am almost 30 and I have care bears on my bed. I still have my glow worm. I have my original Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobby (bed spread and sheet set, so thats not really a toy). Yes I know those are not really science fiction but they should all pass for fantasy since they all use magic

Other toys in my family:

I have a few GI Joes/Cobra that survived my pubescent M-80 stage, and mabye one or two barbies at my moms that survived my hair cutting and burning stage (they were evil barbies, OK?).

My uncle has a ton of original star wars tosy he bought in the 70's- 80's including the chess set. All unopened, and likely to remain that way until he is well into his grave. But, we can look at them! lol. My grandpa has kept a bunch of GI Joes from his childhood, which are the original 12 and 15 inch dolls and worth tons...not really sci fi, but comes close.

My daughter inherited a ton of dolls from her great grandmother, about 200 porcelein dolls, barbies, and such, many of which date to the 1950's-1970's, some are newer 80's plus, and some are very old, one or two I know are early 1900's musical dolls, one I love is a depression era doll ballerina that is encased in glass, like a glass ship would be but it is a doll......and one huge mother of a doll house from the 1940's Those are all staying at her grandma's until she is past her barbie doll hair cutting/painting stage too.

I think it's safe to say I'm very, very attached to my collection of GI Joe and Cobra toys. Being from the UK, I'm also lucky enough to have a lot of the UK version, which was called Action Force. It used a lot of GI Joe molds and re-issued them with awesome new colour schemes (Cobra Commander in red is SWEET!).

I also have fond memories of LJN's Dungeons and Dragons figures, Mego Buck Rogers/Black Hole, and, of course,the 70's/80's Star Wars toys!

Strange to think that in decades to come your Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake will invoke the same feelings in generations yet unborn as the Old Dolls/Houses Etc do in us.
I have an SPV ( Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle) from about 1968 , but it's hardly recognisable as such-the last of the beautiful, silvery-blue paintwork vanshed in the mid 1980's. And i did have a mint condition 'Batmobile' until my ex pinched it to pay for...oh i can't go on.
