Boglins

Boglins

These were slimey hand puppets that looked like a large bogey with large eyes, small hands and a tendancy for biting little sister's arms (very popular with big brothers then!). Their boxes came with bars on the side to look like they were some rotten experiment turned evil. There were three varieties of the original Boglins in the US these were known as Drool, Dwork and Vlob although in the UK they went by the names of Plunk, Dwork and Flurp.

Fuzzy Felt

Fuzzy Felt

Fuzzy-Felt was an ingenious children's toy which first appeared in the 1950s. Basically you had a collection of small 'fuzzy' pieces of felt in assorted shapes, sizes and colours and then you had another material covered board on which you would arrange the Fuzzy-Felt in patterns or pictures. The Fuzzy-Felt would just stick to the material board with no adhesive and each piece could be repositioned as often as you liked.

Havoc Action Girl

Havoc Action Girl

I had a Havoc Action Girl and boy did I love her! She spent so much time in the water the elastic that held her legs on rotted and her legs fell off! But that didn't stop me playing with her, although after that she did have to float along as there were obviously no legs in the catsuit! I remember I had the bike and skis and the rainmac, large floppy hat and violin case with the tommie gun in. She was the best. I wish there was a secret agent doll for girls around now, I'm sure it would be much more popular than Barbie or Bratz!
