Getting the old toys at Crimbo did spark a few happy memories of earlier times. Surprisingly, I could still make the improvised childhood ray gun sound effects... when no one else was around, yep :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-45333925265712866002017-12-24T08:59:45.107+00:002017-12-24T08:59:45.107+00:00Hi ZigguratSF2000.

I tried to recreate images with a perception of Christmas Past and how we would've interacted with our old space toys as kids; when we still had our razor sharp sense of childhood imagination.<br /><br /> The robot on the tricycle is a new 'retro style' toy. He was a prezzie from my daughter, so he gets to hang around with the older toys :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-30585458092918338942017-12-24T08:43:13.950+00:002017-12-24T08:43:13.950+00:00I agree Zigg.

Could be Christmas 1967 that! Your'e right, such simple toys that gave us hours of pleasure. I wonder what we have done with an Xbox? Is it actually play?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-20242363890778124022017-12-24T08:37:08.297+00:002017-12-24T08:37:08.297+00:00Ha ha, yep you're right Brian.
