  3. I had a couple of figures along with the space station and moon crawler. The arms and legs were stiff wire inside the rubber so you could bend them into various positions. If you bent the limbs too many times the wire would break and the affected arm would just stick straight out to the side.

  4. No, but I have a toolbox for buying a case of Valvoline Racing Oil and some steak knives for filling up at a Shell Station. Those were grand old days when they encouraged us to buy petroleum products.

  11. For some reason still thinking about this. The backpack had a zip line you could string across a room so he would look like he was flying.

  12. Kids have some cooler toys now, and obviously video has greatly improved since the Odyssey, but the disappearance of stuff like this leaves them bankrupt.
