Back when we knew how to properly militarize our youth...kinda makes me miss the cold war 😜

[@boomer2264]

Ooooooohhh cool!!! Dear Santa, I have been a good boy so far this year. Please can I have a Remco B-52 Ball Turret play set so I can practice shooting them darn Commies! I hope Mrs Claus is well! Ian Age 52 1/2 😁

Dear Ian, Your Mommy tells me you have been spending far too much time on your mobile phone when you think nobody is watching. Therefore I have decided this useful and educational dictionary will be far more use to a 52 year old boy. By the way, just what is it you are looking at? Merry Christmas young Ian - Father Christmas. P.S. never you mind about Mrs Clause.

Dang! I want that toy! ... and so do girls!

You could blast Santa on his way up the chimney. And then the reindeer when they try to make a getaway. Rudolph would make an easy target.

Nope, don't remember this one, but $14 was a premium back then. The kid in the spot is probably older than the intended demographic. One may disagree, but even then I don't think it had much play value. Remco's battery powered Chinook in '62 did more stuff and was $3 cheaper. We all had war toys but the best were the ones you could use outside with other kids. I always enjoyed the play sets (moon base, gas station, castle...) those were gateway toys to slot cars and model trains.

I had one of the Remco Whirlybird helicopters, had the powered hoist. Pretty cool toy for the early '60's.

@@kimharbison5277 The toy store I got mine at was next to the Studebaker dealer and I remember wanting an Avanti more.

Awesome!

I'm sure it gave a lot of young men some ideas about jobs when they were older!

I prefer the Jonny Eagle rifles and handguns.

From my mother's sleep I fell into the state And I hunched in it's belly till my wet fur froze Six miles from Earth, loosed from its dream of life I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters When I died, they washed me out of the turret with a hose - Death of the Ball Turret Gunner, Randal Jeroll

From oxygen masks to Covid masks. From toys of war to sick drag queens. I want a way back machine.
