Toys of the Seventies
The toys in this section are not STRICTLY 70s only toys. We have toys that were widely available for purchase DURING the 70s. This section was recently redesigned, so if you have any problems please let ChuckyG know.
Are you an 70s toys expert or just totally baffled by a leftover 70s toys item in your possession? We have a page for Unknown 70s Toys when you can send in your pictures, or help others identify their unknown toys items.
I also have a page about this for the 80s and 90s.

help me out if you can….I don’t remember what it was called but I’ll describe it……it was a warm furry….ahhh worm I think,…..I think it had eyes. It was flat (like a piece of rug) measuring about 3X9”. When you “pet” it, it would curl upwards like an inch-worm. They came in a variety of colors
I want one. Where can I buy it?
I too had kiddie fondue and LOVED it! What a great childhood memory. Now I want one for my daughter. I couldn't believe when I googled it that all of this came up! I never knew anyone else who had it.
Check it out, it's still around: http://www.amazon.com/Tinkerbell-Lipstick-Nail-Polish-1992/dp/B002F50EJ0
I received a Baby Love Light doll as a Christmas present in 1971. She was my all-time favorite doll. I had to throw her away in 1974 because her batteries had corroded and ruined the doll. I have recently been trying to locate one in good condition for sale, with little success.
i think this is the toy i am pulling my hair out trying to figure out the name ... does anyone have a pic or know the manufacturer?
I'm looking for a toy that my brother used to play with. It was a clear plastic man that when you pumped a ball on his hand it would show blook pumping through his veins. It showed his heart and lungs too I think. It's driving me nuts.
I'm looking for the name of a toy, I think I remember my mother referring to it as "moon buggies" . It consisted of a hard plastic track with these little cars that had a tinted blue window in front to conceal the battery. On top of the "buggy" was a "V" that was parallel to the top of the car. The cars would pass through these see-through clear plastic domes. On the top of each dome there was wheel you could turn that would lower a "bolt", for lack of a better word, that would either catch on the V part of the car or let it pass. It is difficult to describe. Does anyone know this toy?
WOW! I'm so glad others remember the Looney Light toys too. My sisters and I each had one and we used to sit in the dark and intone "looney light, looney light, looney light..." and my dad would make us stop 'cause it sounded so creepy. I would LOVE to find one that works to give to my little sister (now aged 47) for x-mas...
Can't wait to see photos in the gallery! Thanks !
We have a puzzletown set made in 1976 and its sesame street. Some water damage on cardboard but a great set. If interested in buying I am going to list it on craigslist soon. freisian82@yahoo.com
As a teenager, during high school and college vacations, I worked for Athol Research Company in Athol, MA. The owner of the company was Arthur Bernstein, who lived in NYC and would come to the plant a couple of times a year. I remember mixing the fidget material on the shipping dock in a 55-gallon drum with a boat motor during the summer and even assembling them. The fidget material was a mixture of paint and oil that was applied to a black mylar type material with adhesive around the edges. The plastic disk placed over the mylar after a blob of paint was applied. The company no longer exists but I don't know if the technology was ever sold to another company.
we bought sleek streaks back in the 60s ,for such a simple design it was incredible,one flight went for over a quater of a mile.the secret was its extreme light weight. whoever designed it deserves a medal
I acquired one of these little horse's and I found that it had been put together wrong it's entire life. I feel that I'm mechanically minded and I found it difficult to set it right. So I can relate to many of parents that were staying up on Christmas's of the past, losing sleep while trying to assemble the Pogo-Pony! But they are cute!
hi can any one tell me the value of katy copycat with desk and pens
thanks
I had one made by Firestone. It had a cool slick on the back. Every time the asphalt on the road got a little wet, I ended up picking myself off of the road. Still, the best bikes I ever owned.
Oh how I loved my Baby Beth. I still have her and the two My Friend dolls (Mandy and Jenny) that I got around the same time.
I want to get one for my grown daughter. It was her favorite toy as a child. I want to give it to her for her 40th birthday. I don't have much money but will pay what you ask if I can.
The one I want had the plastic bottle fixed like a dollhouse. If you have one for sale, please contact me at gsnipes@marlboro.k12.sc.us
I love all the comments. Exactly how I feel. This was one of my FAVORITE toys growing up. I was hoping a pic was posted. Brings back memories for sure. I agree toys aren't made like they used to be.
you can still buy them, about $10 at Timstar.com
Wow, I can't believe that I found this...I never had a Dusty or Nugget BUT I do remember the jingle and I have to say it runs thru my head every now and then! This is too funny. Denise, you are so right about how vague thoughts can be confirmed by the internet. I wish I could just find the actual commercial just to hear that jingle once again. I'm so glad that I am not the only one who remembers this!
