Wherever I go, there I am.
Need some help here. I feel like I remember a toy called Mr. Bucket and it sang “your balls pop into my mouth” someone tell me I’m remembering that correctly or is that a Mandela effect thing?


Not quite what you remember. You put your balls in the top and your balls pop out of his mouth it seems.

Quite the ad though "The first to get their balls in Mr Bucket wins..."

Talk about high-tech, that game was ahead of its time, lol.
Reminds me of high tech like the college football board game. You played a vcr, grabbed a card and the next play was yours to move the piece

Stretch Armstrong was filled with black goo.

Every toy has a limit for the industrious child.

I played with this all the damn time as a kid. One of the most memorable toys I had!

We had both Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster. Stretch Monster died when we left him in the car in the middle of winter. He froze solid and his arm broke off.

Got these as a unit at Christmas, when I was ~7(?).

Unwrapped, joined under the tree, waiting for me to awake and go downstairs.

I chopped a lot of pretend alfalfa silage that next season!

Cool thing is, I still have the restored tractor (along with additional farm toys). It's in storage, hence no photo of it here.

Fun note about the web tractor photo: I "misplaced" my rubber exhaust pipe within about 3 weeks of receiving the gift. (Restored version has one, though!)
