Moderator cut: No insults
My cousin had a Mr. Machine, that damn thing could turn corners and chase me around the house. Between the two of us, we had all the toys you named. My favorite doll was "Thirsty Walker" I actually found one MIB (mint in box) on Ebay a few years ago.
Santa brought my brother and me Lone Ranger guns. No silver bullets but if you put a powder in them they would smoke. Excited to see what Santa brought and not wanting to deprive mom and dad from their sleep we started loading and shooting at 5 am. By the time mom woke up our entire dark blue living room carpet was white. For younger readers, vacuums in 1950 were not what they are now. Somewhere in East Orange there may still be blue carpet with white powder embedded in it.
