As a child I had a Tiny Tears doll which came with a pink and blue playpen. She had very curly hair which when wet didn't take long at all to dry. I think she was at least 12 inches tall to the best of my knowledge and wore a pink and white short rompers. I remember the commercial said she cried real tears.

I was about 11 when I ordered the 100 piece solder set listed above. Imagine my shock when I got it in the mail and found out they were flat figures and not like the toy soldiers we had

I got a Betsy Wetsy for Christmas when I was little, but she was defective. When I fed her a bottle, she "wet" out of her head.

I found a "Hands Down" game at a yard sale a few years ago, but I can't remember how to play. If anyone can find a copy of the rules, let me know!

Does anyone remember the "Crashmobile"? It was a model car that snapped together. You would it up with a crank, set it downn, and when it ran into something, the front bumper would cause the car to fall apart. You could get one at Happy Hal's Toy House.

I do remember the crashmobile and Happy Hal. My older brother won a contest on Happy Hals TV show with a toy shaped like two funnels joined at the small end and spun on a string suspended at the end of two sticks. I believe it was called a Wing Ding or something to that effect.
