All I want for Christmas are toys
toys from Page 13_____
have on some “peace on earth,
good will to men” record and you’re
trying to wipe that grin of Bozo’s
mug Joy to the world.
8. Close and Play Record
Players: I used one of these until
about a year ago. Led Zeppelin
sounds really gr>od coming out of
those little horrible speakers. It
gives you a real sease of your roots
‘and upbringing to play the Sex Pis
tols on the same record player that
you once listened to Burl Ives sing
Seven Little Ducks."
9. EZ Bake Ovens: 1 don’t want
to seem sexist. I assume these were
pretty neat for little girls. 1 mean that
they were trusting you with a heat
ing mechanism, right? Sounds like
there is some cool stuff you could
do w ith that and a little imagination.
I seem to remember some girls in
my neighborhood making some
really wild mud pies in an FZ Bake
oven.
10. Comic Book Submarine: I
could never get my parents to mail
away for one of these but the whole
idea seemed great. From the pic
ture, it looked like you could actu
ally set the damn thingHn the water
and fit two or three people inside.
Sounds like the ideal fort to me.
11. VHP Viewmaster: The 3-D
stuff was the best. Remember how
you used to get bored as hell with
some family slide show of Yellow
stone or a family reunion, go to
your room, and tour Disneyland or
Mount Rushmore on the VHF. The
slides weren’t any more exciting
but they were yours. And you could
narrate them any way you saw fit.
“And here’s Aunt Marge sliding
down Lincoln’s face to a slow and
painful death... See you can barely
see her there by the left nostril...”
12. Master of the Universe
Sets: ''X henever I meet a kid nowa
days or babysit with one. 1 ask him
or her ii they want to play with the
their Master of the Universe sets. If
they don t have one, my day is
spoiled. I’ve only seen the things all
wrapped up, with the big glow-in
the-dark skull, and everything. I
want to play with one so badlv it
hurts.
... .Erector Sets: legos and
1 inker Toys are for wimps. You can
build real machines with Frector
Sets; sturdy functional instruments
of destruction.
You can pit a G.l. Joe with the
Kung Fu Grip against an engineer’s
I-n
nightmare. Here is comes, joe
latches on and the thing eats his
hand like a grain augur. Knowing
the martial arts has it drawbacks.
14. Tonka trucks: When Tonka
trucks get into accidents it’s more
like real life. I mean, they’re real
steel and when you drop them off
the roof or ram them into concrete,
the steel turns up into sharp danger
ous edges just like in real life. Kung
I-—1
Fu doesn’t do much good against a
Tonka Truck going at full speed
either.
15- Hot Wheels: Okay, at the
beginning of the track you have
your launcher that spits the car out
onto the drag strip. It has to leap a
ramp, it lands safely on the next
segment of the track, it goes in for a
pit stop and gets spit out the other
side. It does two loops in a row,
takes a dangerous curve success
fully and goes up a steep incline,
across the bed and down again,
picking up speed. Two more loops,
an obstacle course and home free.
And there was always some jerk
on the block who wanted you to
come over and play with his match
box cars. Matchbox cars are the
F.dsels of the toy car world. Hot
Wheels are Ferraris.

may even offer a few genuinely low prices
