Weebles were great.  You can still find them, but they are now painted, they don't have the clear plastic shell over the paper picture :(

I saw those in Toys R Us!  They look so fake!  Although, I did find the original ones on E-Bay.  They even had the Weeble's Tree House on there for sale!  Memories!

I remember clackers. I used to have a massive bruise on my wrist from those things.

Those things were a trip. They went right along with YarDarts, SuperBall, and all the other "deadly but great" toys and games from the '70's. Black eyes, punctures, busted lips, knots on the head, bruises..........the kids today don't know what they're missin'!! ;D

Oh yes.. I remember Clackers.. gave my brother a bloody nose with them, when I used them like num-chucks, and Hoppity hop was the best.. I had the hoppity hop, my brother had the hoppity horse.. we also had matching Big wheels...

I still have my Thingmaker Sets (Creepy Crawlers, Creeple Peeple, Fun Flowers and Zoofie Goofies), Lite Brite, my Matchbox cars, all my plastic dinosaurs, my Shoop Shoop Hula Hoop, all my board games from the 60s and 70 and my brother's Flexible Flyer sled from the 50s.... :D

6. this contraption... I don't remember the name of... But it was a red wheel on a metal frame and you  would flick your wrist back and forth and make the wheel go up and down on this metal frame.. I think it might have been called Wheelie?? something?  I forget... End Quote

Amazing the things one can remember. I paid $120.00 for mine. I very much enjoyed my "Odyssey" as well. I still have both gaming computers in good working order. :)

Ok, I have thought of a few more Toys from the 70's
1. Chinese Jumprope (every girl in my 4th grade class carried one in her pocket for recess)
2. Lemon Twist (this thing was a lemon connected to a black rubber loop that went around your ankle and the lemon had beads in it.. You would twist your foot around and hop over this lemon thing... perhaps faddish.. but I remember one entire summer doing that up and down the sidewalk, thinking I was so cool... )
3. Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster.. my brother had Stretch Armstrong... I think I chewed his hand off and squeezed out the jelly that made him so flexible...
4. Charlie's Angels dolls and Starsky and Hutch and Swat Dolls... I would really have some fun antics with all of them together...
5. Baby Chrissy- She had this Auburn-Brown hair and big brown eyes.. and you'd pull the pony tail from the top of her head and it made her hair grow..
6. this contraption... I don't remember the name of... But it was a red wheel on a metal frame and you  would flick your wrist back and forth and make the wheel go up and down on this metal frame.. I think it might have been called Wheelie?? something?  I forget...
7. The Record Players that folded shut like little suitcases..I used to play all my 45's and Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb albums on one.
8. This is going way back, but I remember when I was about 4 or 5, I had this red telephone that you'd put little records in a slot at the base of the phone and it sounded like someone was talking to you... Santa Claus, etc... Does anyone remember this?
9. Viewmasters
10. Spirographs
11. The plastic looms that made those funny woven potholders out of loops of fabric. The box would always show things that you could make, like a purse, or even a sweater (GASP!! Like someone would actually wear one if it were possible...) I barely mastered the potholders.
12. Rub A Dub Baby... you could bathe with her.. I remember her hair turned into a matted nylon nightmare after just one bath.  
Do they still make Tinkerbell cosmetics for little girls? back then the powder came in a white compact with multi colored flowers on the case and the lip "pomade" was a colorless waxy glorified chapstick in the shape of lipstick and appeared to be pink or red but never added any color ...
13. My Barbie head with the make up and styling tools.. was my favorite when I was 6..

:-* :-* :-* :-* :-*Tinkerbell cosmetics are still made,and theysell them at Long's.Cheers! ::)

I remember when Coleco came out (was that late 70s or early 80s?).......anywho, I got one for Christmas and all my buds had to come over to play (we were 16 and 17 years old). It was so much more technologicly advanced than Atari. Kind of like the Play Station and Game Cube wars of today.
