Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
My Chatty Kathy doll was my pride and joy, also one called April Showers which was a baby doll sat in a little yellow bath with attached showerhead, when you filled the bath up with water & squeezed the little pump thin the shower actually worked - kept me amused for hours

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
I had a building set called "Bako" with wall blocks and windows and doors and roofs. There were flat windows and curved windows and all different sorts of things to add embellishments. You started off by putting metal sticks into holes in the base board and then sliding other things onto them. I suppose it was for budding architects. I don't know whatever happened to it. I would have loved to get additional kits to make bigger and more interesting buildings but my Mum & Dad never did buy me any more.

No Tressie was like a cheap Cindy or Barbie. She had a screw in the back of her head, which lengthend or shortend her hair when you turned it.
By the way I didn't really have one, but I remember my cousin's Tressie.
