There are so many of them, I can’t seem to part with them. Some of the wrestlers are no longer living.

Thank you for watching and sharing your memories Jodie! Sounds like your kids had a wonderful childhood. Thqt WWF and WWE was big in the 80s and 90s but I didn't realize it went outside of the U.S. and Canada so that is interesting. I guess it was far bigger than I realized. You're a good Mom keeping all that and they will appreciate that at some point. So many mothers seem to throw them out, give them away or sell them. Whatever you do definitely do not ever sell them in a yard sale. I'm sure you have some valuable toys from the sound of it. But really I know that doesn't replace the sentimental value.

@@RhettyforHistory The wrestling has always been big here, and is still showing on the t.v here to this day, (I just don’t watch it anymore). Over the years they have even brought the show on the road out to Australia. I was once into it a little myself, I can’t remember the year it was (maybe 1986) I went to watch it because my favourite (tiger mask) was coming to wrestle and I didn’t even have to travel 1 1/2 hours to Sydney because they came here to Wollongong. The Wollongong entertainment centre wasn’t built until 1998, but they came to the home of the Illawarra Hawks basketball centre (they wouldn’t play it there today) to many people here now. NOW funny story here Rhetty, my mum told me her parents both loved the wrestling and when my mum was young (she was born 1946) they went to see a show in Sydney, so might have been late 50s early 60s. My nana was in the seat right next to the aisle and Killer Kowalski came out, as he walked passed her, she went to hit him in the head and her family had to stop her 😂. So I guess it’s no surprise after all that my son used to be a huge fan as kid. We seem to get a lot of what you have over there, over here shows, toys etc. Hope you enjoyed the story, I know I did when my mum told me. Bye 👋 for now.

I have a lovely bride doll encased as well this was a gift to me from my dad and gave it to me the day before he died. It is not likely I will ever part with that doll she is life size. My dad has been gone for 60 years so the doll is quite old. It will never be taken out of the case she is in

Sounds like you have taken every precaution to ensure they stay in great shape. Not many do that.

EXCELLENT VIDEO

@@RhettyforHistory the tetubbies were such creepy toys do you remember the Lincoln logs. I still have them. And erector sets. My how times change. Everything computer now.

She will certainly enjoy that present! Erector sets and Lincoln Logs were hours of fun. I also enjoyed Tinker Toys and Legos.

@@RhettyforHistory I hope so your video touched me because I went back into the past and think about what things have become. Things i thought were complicated seem calm compared to today. I remember these toys some I kept over the years and were handed to my son, he handed them to his kids, then to my great grandchildren. Things like these toys are memories, I choose to keep alive. Your channel has very good content and always well presented so well. So thank you for this trip down memory lane.

@@RhettyforHistory my son years ago built me a real cool cabin from Lincoln logs, really nice. That also is in my display room in a special viewing cabinet, this all will go to him when I pass over. The whole collection is his. I love the past, I live the present, and except the future whatever it may be

I had no idea they had pogs in the US in those days, over here in Mexico we had them and we played in the same way, they were almost as popular as marbles and were collectible. They were only distributed mainly in popular potato chips and cookie packages with the most recent cartoons or super heroes printed on them depending the year....lol, kids were frightened of them for some time after a scary myth spread, even on the news they mentioned it once: they were cursed and if you cut one in half they would bleed,...lol, I remember those rumors!
