A kid sized (by which I mean the size of a kid) Pee-wee and his favorite talking furniture.

Tomy Pocket Bots
PocketBots were some of my favorite little toys as a kid. I got them several years in a row as stocking stuffers. They joined the rebellion, of course, and helped the Micronauts and R2D2 fight the Empire.
Flashy Flickers Image Picture Gun
Such a useless toy, but still kinda cool. This Flashy Flickers projector gun is up there with the SMDM projector, or Star Trek projection phaser.
Captain & Tennille
How these two ever ended up as toys I will never understand. KISS, that one I sorta understand. But Captain & Tennille?
Navarone Giant Playset
Marx made the best play sets. Didn’t matter your favorite toy genre – western, sci fi, underwater, or war – Marx made a set with a giant plastic center piece for you. This Navarone Giant Playset is one of my favorites, with the cannons, ladders, and two sets of army men in classic poses, you could act out pretty much any type of assault. The size made it cool, but it also kept Santa from delivering it.
Matchbox Mega-Rig Space Base
Came across this amazingly cool store display at the San Jose Toy Show. I am not generally a Matchbox enthusiast, but this is the kind of toy that could win me over.
