I had a doll called "Nancy Nurse" and my brother ripped the arm off so to get even with him I broke his drum.

Question toy's from the 60's and 70's

Hotpotato, Twister, Tipit, my brother's had toy guns that had metal tips. Loved little kiddles. The Nicole doll. Remember with the tear on her face? I remember a ballerina doll who had hair that you could make longer? Question for anyone out there.... I remember plastic bug's that you could put the feet on etc, cannot remember what they were called??? I remember they had yellow feet that always came off. And antenae? It's "bugging" me that I can't remember!
