I also had a View Master and would spend hours looking through it. I had a reel of Disneyland features. One of them showed a futuristic display at Disneyland that was sponsored by the aerospace plant, McDonnell Douglas. Interestingly, I married a rocket scientist whose first job after college was McDonnell Douglas. MD is no longer, and that display is no longer at Disneyland.

    Lite Brite and Kaleidoscopes were always fun for the creative designs you could come up with. I also had the FP medical kit, Hungry Hungry Hippos, the Evel Knievel stunt cycle, Viewmaster, Spirograph and FP Little People from this video. Honorary mention should also go to Shogun Warriors, Star Wars, MEGO superhero and villain action figures, Wonderful Waterful hand-held games, the Six Million Dollar Man action figure, Remco's Energized Spider Man, Colorforms, and Whitman jigsaw puzzles.

    Big yellow metal Tonka trucks in a sandbox or back yard was great! Barrel of monkeys and plastic pickup sticks was always fun. Really liked my cowboys and Indians plastic soldier sets. Not action figures just molded plastic figures and you got different backgrounds and or accessories with them. Speaking of cowboys let’s not forget cap guns that looked like real firearms and shot caps and could smell the gunpowder and see the smoke.
