If You Were A Toy, Which One Would You Be?


What a great Q posted by Dani! I was certain I'd be a construction-type toy, took me about 5 seconds to remember this great one. I spent as much time looking through the tinted squares to make my world red or blue; or playing with marbles in the plastic storage box these came in; as I did actually playing with the toy. I also remember building constructions that I displayed on a corner of the countertop in my bedroom. Ah, retro flashback.

Searching the web for images of this toy, I learned it had won a design award in Britain shortly after it came out, I'm not surprised. I also believe mine still exists, in a box in the basement in Pennsylvania along with all our other possessions.
