The monster kits were mostly from a company called Aurora, and originally came out in 1960's. They were re-issued around 1974. Mainly movie, and TV models, a few originals in there like 'grave robber's reward'(you can probably guess). Some company did kits/dioramas of giant preying mantis, and giant spiders, etc., attacking towns - the towns would be, I think, like printed scenes on cardboard. Am sure there were more around 1974/1976 period.

There were many different dolls in the 70s with special features or abilities. These dolls were named Baby (and then whatever feature that made them special.) I had Baby This 'n That and Baby Come Back. Because I had older brothers, who were not gentle with my toys, neither doll's special features survived for long.

I was finishing up high school in the early 70s and am pretty much unfamiliar with most of these other than the Cabbage Patch dolls, a few of which my sister had. Mom asked me if I wanted one, since even grown women were collecting them, but I said no thanks. Lol. I'd imagine quite a few of these items (if in pristine condition) could make a collector some money (?) I was never much into dolls (other than Chatty Cathy and Barbie for awhile,) but of the ones you showed, the Baby Beans dolls would be ideal for little girls (makes me think of the old homemade type dolls).

I remember Cabbage Patch dolls from the 80s, which is when my 2 daughters would have been old enough for them. As it was, we couldn't afford to buy them, so I found a pattern for soft-sculptured dolls in JoAnn's and made a couple of them. You could even individualize the facial features (my older daughter said she wanted an Asian doll) by adjusting the threads. My friend told me that some of the other kids' mothers refused to believe that I had sewn them. Too bad.

@@miriambucholtz9315 My mom and all my aunts made us kids the homemade Cabbage Patch dolls! I never met anyone else who had one of these, but me and all my cousins had them. And they did the hair and eye color to order for each of us. I don't remember being offered any other unique features like the shape of the eyes or skin tone, but I still loved my doll. I was older and got a large sized doll and my little sister got a smaller size doll, like the ones in the store.

I had the Jaws game, Milky the Marvelous, and my sister had Gobbles the Goat. I also had Ice Bird and the Snoopy Snow Cone makers. Both were a lot of work for not a lot of payoff.

My friend had the doll set that was last in the string. The cash register was cool, and we'd merge them with my Barbies! She also had one based on a turn of the century parlor/young girl. The pieces were amazing and I loved playing with it. :) (Then again, she also had Cher and her outfits. Cher was too big to play with Barbie well, but we tried!)

THe parlor one was called Jody. There were different settings you could get that had her. I had the country kitchen one. They were Extremly detailed on the accessories . Everything was very interactive. ..containers opened, boxes of food opened, parts of the furniture and appliances moved (with help)

I had the Sunshine Family and they were fun. What was so cool about them is they came with directions on how to make items using what would be generally junk. For example I remember you could make a seat using lids of cans, a couch using a milk carton and a playpen using a strawberry container. The bean babies look familiar to me as well but not sure if I had them. I didn't have it, but one year for someone's birthday me and a friend combined money to buy the Jaws game. I remember playing it (maybe with the person I bought it for) and it scared me because it had a loud noise. I haven't gone to a kids birthday in years but I wonder if kids even get toys from their friends at these parties anymore. It was a big deal getting toys I never would have gotten otherwise.

I don’t know what era it was invented but one of my first toys was the Bozo the Clown 🤡 doll. You pulled a string on his back and he said a bunch of different things. One of those things that was thrown out over time, which is a huge regret of mine. I was going to buy a original one from America that I found but the shipping price here to Australia was way to expensive. 😢 Ps. That Hugo was super creepy. Thanks Rhett ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
