Nostalgia from one's childhood is important. I recall aged 7 building with my dad a Bristol Bulldog model kitset.The original disappeared many years back to the place of gone forever toys. But since then I located 10 years ago the same kitset on eBay assembled it and now it sits on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteHope you kept the box. I've got a few replacement models from childhood that I've yet to build. One day. It's a good feeling to reacquire a childhood toy or comic, eh?
ReplyDeleteI assure you, i'd have no problems enthusiastically playing with any of the three toys pictured. The only time i run into "can't really play" problems is that i'm no longer willing to break (burn, explode, destroy, etc.,) toys in epic confrontations as we might have done as children. Too expensive to replace them now, eh?
ReplyDeleteWe never saw the Bump 'n' Go Daleks over here. There were other Marx B'n'G toys, but the Daleks would have been very cool to find.
That's a 'Bump 'n' Go' Dalek the actress is holding in the photo, 3. A company called Dapol reissued them back in the '90s, and you'll find them for sale on eBay - as well as original ones. I've got one of those three items in my collection - now I need to add the other two.
