All I ever had of those was Fuzzy Felt which I loved, Air fix Models weren’t the best in my view, I use to prefer Revell Kits. I had a hand me down View Master and an empty Cadbury’s Chocolate Machine, Spirograph, an original Escalado with lead Gee Gees and Action Man. Nice link Bazf.

i still have quite a few of them in my toy cupboard at my moms house lol

I loved fuzzy felts too! I was always really disappointed at Christmas and birthdays by not being bought Meccano and Airfix toys because I was a girl!

Mastermind I also remember, seem to recall I was a bit of a demon at it!

Stylophone, Tressie (spelling?????) - the doll who's hair grew, Pippa dolls and Etch-a-sketch.

Was Spirograph the one where you had circular discs that you stuck your pen in and spun round - or was it the one that had three 'arms' where you put your pencil in one arm and traced an outline with the other to make the shape bigger? Either way, I had one. What was the other called?

I had the fuzzy felt, majic robot and the chocolate machine.

Great trip down memory lane Bazf, I had fuzzy felt, weebles, girls world, we had a lot of the games between us too. Always wanted a train set but wasn't allowed because I was a girl.

accymel · 29-10-2005, 12:23

LOl Grego the advantage for me when i was young was i could play with my girlie stuff then invade my brothers room for the cars & scalextric

best of both worlds

Aaaah.....Memories. We had Weebles, Fuzzy Felt and quite a few of those games. Grego had a Girls World, I'm having a horrible flashback that I may have cut a lot of its hair off during a fit of temper....

or was it the Tiny Tears doll.....
