They sure don't sell 'em like they used to... 1970's toy commercials, today on the veg.

Stretchable Super Heroes -- remember that radioactive sap these things would leak?
Superman with Flyaway Action -- Jor-El, Lex Luther, and General Zod sold separately.

I had an icebird and can state that the "flavor packets" were pretty much the vilest thing you've ever tasted.
I had the Bing Bang Boing! Don't remember the commercial, but the toy was pretty awesome.
I had the Smash Up Derby. Good times toys were alot of fun when they did not worry about kids choking on them from small parts. I all so had the Stretch armstrong until i ripped his arm pits open =(. My favorite toy of all time was the Bid Trax I actually located one and still have it.
