A Handful Of… Toys I Always Wanted To Exist
As a kid, was a skid, and no one knew me by name. Trashed my own house party ‘cuz nobody came.
Oops, I’m already off topic…
As a kid, there were a few toys that never existed that I always wish existed. Shall we reminisce together?
1) BOBA FETT (WITH FIRING MISSILE)
Call it a choking hazard, call it natural selection, these toys never made it market. But I swear I knew a kid– ah, forget it.
2) GLORIA BAKER AND SHARK (FROM M.A.S.K.)
I’m not sure why this toy was never made. It’s not like Kenner hadn’t made other water vehicles, or other female action figures (Vanessa Warfield).
3) HOVER BOARD
After the time travelling DeLorean, of course, there was not much more I wanted from the Back to the Future films.
4) ROCKETEER’S ROCKET PACK AND HELMET
…that, or his girlfriend…
5) GREATEST AMERICAN HERO INSTRUCTION BOOK*
*Costume better be included…
6) STAR TREK’S HOLODECK
If I have to explain this one, I don’t care to know you. Good day!
