Anyone out there remember that website "Forgottenfigures.com"? Anyway this guy use to pick a figure or vehicle or playset that he got when he was a kid and describe the circumstances of how he got it or why it was memorable to him. For istance I remember when he talked about his HAVOC - he lived in Indiana and he was sick so he couldn't go with his Dad & brother to the Indianapolis 500 race that particular memorial day of 1986 like they usually did or something and his mom & him went to the local TRU instead & he got the HAVOC that he had saved-up for and went home and just remembered playing with it in his dry house that rainy May day while his Dad & brother were at the car race. That kind of stuff...

So, I thought it'd be interesting to set up a thread on this site where anyone can chime-in on a particualr Joe (or non-Joe) toy that sticks-out as special in their memory of a fun time in their childhood - I know I always enjoyed reading his takes on stuff.

I'll start it off I guess:
