10 Ultimate Components of a Geeky Eighties Childhood — What I Had

The Geekdad blog ran a post that crossed my RSS feed today — 10 Ultimate Components of a Geeky Eighties Childhood. I went through the list he had, and I did truly own some of the things in the list, here is what I actually owned:

Merlin — I really don’t remember too much about using this, but I did have one.

Wacky Wall Walkers — I drove my mother nuts with these things.

He-man Toys — Damn, I still wish I owned a Castle Greyskull toy.….… I’m going to have to do a post one day of all the He-Man stuff I did own.…..

Underoos — I owned a Superman Set and Batman Set — I may have owned more

Coleco Tabletop Games — I owned a Pac-Man just like the one above.

Trapper Keepers — I owned way too many of these over the years.

I had forgotten all about my Merlin until I saw this post. Like you I don't remember too much about it but do remember having one. And the Trapper Keeper...you weren't cool unless you had one. I also had the Stretch Armstrong and the Shrinky Dinks
