The little paddle w/the ball attached. I could never get the rhythm, and my older brother would hit it so hard that the ball would go into orbit, but my little brother could hit it for HOURS.

Real Boys played with "TONKA TRUCKS"!!!!! Anything "TONKA" backhoes, bulldozers, cranes, draglines and the ever so popular (Big Truck). When I was a kid back in the 60's we had a dirt pile that I would play for hours on with my "TONKA's". And the dirtier the better. Maybe thats why I drive big dump trucks now for a living building roads and spent the last 15 years of my 21 years Military Service in the "NAVY SEABEE's", playing with big boy toys

Mego Catalog Library: 1979 Dolls

Candi is the doll I have been looking for!! I loved playing with this doll. In my opinion, Mego had some cool toys. Too bad they are no longer around.
I loved styling her hair and giving her bad hair dye jobs.

Loved em. I must have gotten thirty or forty under-the-fingernail cuts from trying to put the little metal tabs into the slots.

I did love the little carwash, though. It prepared me for this lucrative career I've got now....
