For years I'd look for a Raggedy Ann, but they were always too expensive in antique stores.

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.

    Litebrite was my favorite. For one thing, I actually had one. I did not usually get what I asked for and if I did get a toy, it was a hand me down. I did get a Lite asBrite and it was new, in the box, and I loved it as much as I thought I would. I had some spirographs too, I liked using those with colored pencils, for some reason they put my mother in a bad mood. I think she tossed them.

Not action figures just molded plastic figures and you got different backgrounds and or accessories with them.
