Well, it was actually thermonuclear fusion, but I figure not many here were around for that shortly after the Big Bang.

Yeah, that would make me old

Best: Action Figures (Action figures didn't exist until Star Wars came out with them in the late 70's)
Honerable mention for Best: Lego

Worst: Shrinking GI Joe from 12" to 6"

According to a program I saw on TV, the term "Action figure" didn't come out until late 70's. It refers to small hard plastic figures with moveable arms, legs, etc. GI Joes are technically "Dolls" not action figures. It wasn't until Star Wars in in 1977 that the smaller action figures hit store shelves. Today, they're huge business. Much cheaper to make than their larger "Doll" counterpart.

Color TV Broadcasts!


Walt Disney?s Wonderful World of Color

• The world is a carousel of color,
  Wonderful, wonderful color.
  The world is a carousel of color,
  History, comedy, fantasy,
  There?s drama and mirth,
  There?s old mother earth
  With all of her secrets to see.
  
  The world is a treasure-trove of faces,
  Fabulous, faraway places.
  The hopes and the fears,
  The joys and the tears
  Of people like you and like me.
  The kingdoms of magic science,
  The glorious story of art,
  The world of romance,
  Of music and dance,
  This world where we each play a part.
  
  The miracle of imagination,
  The marvels of earth, sea and sky,
  These wonders untold
  Are ours to behold
  In the funny world,
  The sunny world,
  The wonderful world of color.

Best invention I made- Used legos and a little motor and a battery to make an elevator in kindergarten. I brought it in for show and tell and the teacher told me I had my parents make it for me cause there is no way I could. that b!tch.

Best invention to me when I was little- my dads stereo. Man all I did was listen to that thing.

still missing it ..downsizing was a definite 70s trend..example look at the 1973 Mustang followed by the Pinto/Bobcat size Mustang..anyway..

'Action Man' was first introduced in the UK by Palitoy in 1966. The concept was the first of it's kind - a fully poseable artist's dummy style action figure. First figures available to the UK were a soldier, sailor and pilot complete with basic uniforms and dog-tags. His launch was inspired by his American 'brother', the successful GI Joe figures of two years earlier, produced in the US by parent American company the Hasbro Toy Co. Both Action Man and GI Joe were virtually indistinguishable during the first period of hard, painted head figures (black, brown, blond, auburn), and only minor differences in detailing occurred. At the end of this first period, softer squeezable heads were produced that looked almost identical for a while.

StarWars and its myths..still like the movies and such just the fallacies of some things. p.s. The US dollar was originally redeemable for lawful money as well..that...statement was removed by the private corporation known as the Federal Reserve.
