Christmas toys you'll never see again

Here's one of my favorites from years ago...

Girders and beams snapped together and were then "skinned" with various style panels to build all sorts of buildings. The cool feature was they wouldn't fall apart if you bumped into them.
Originally manufactured and marketed by Kenner, they did disappear for awhile but then brought back from about 2005-2016 by Bridgestreet Toys. Unfortunately, now gone again.


Here's another that my cousin had...

Sure, let kids fool around with almost-molten plastic to make things. Not gonna happen now.
Too bad. We sure had a lot of fun making things back then...like custom parts for our model cars!
