Re: Tonka Toys

SAME WITH lots of toys now they are inferior quality or are made in china etc.

why did they go and make plastic ones.
im ure i can guess why.

i had lots of them a dumptruck being one.

Tonka was great had many when i was younger...But they dont make them like that any more..I found a tonka the other day from 2004 but it must have been when Tonka started entering the plastic arena..Its a nice thing but not a patch on the Tonkas from when i was a boy...http://youtu.be/ZkUFpYpe_P0

Re: Tonka Toys

I had the iconic dump truck and the crane, both yellow. I remember hours of fun with them in my sand pit. Brilliant toys, I wish I'd still got them now. Very tough - I could sit on the dump truck and ride it down my slide. This caused me more than a few injuries

Cheers,
Finnthedude.

Re: Tonka Toys

Me & my brother had a few of these over the years, great for playing in the garden when the weather was good.

We had the dump truck, the bulldozer, a car transporter with 2 flatish VW Beetles, & jibless crane mounted lorry a friend let me have for 20p.

Re: Tonka Toys

Mine was also a dump truck type thing.On rare occations I used to play out in the back yard with it.It became more fun when a mate across the road had a sandpit put in and then these toys really came into their own.Mine was eventually sold on by my parants as I was not really into toy cars etc,and rarely played with them.It was a toy I remember but find hard to get too nostalgic about it.

Re: Tonka Toys

I had this same yellow dumptruck and a tracked bulldozer that had a backhoe fitted as well. It was a clumsy thing to operate and hardly played with it The design of the dumptruck is based on a 1960's Berliet quarry truck. Not a lot of people know that

Re: Tonka Toys

I've just found five Tonka "Speedsters" (I think...), racing cars where you pressed down the back wheels to wind them up, them let them go and off they went. I had them taken off me for knocking the paint off the skirting boards on the landing :cry:

Re: Tonka Toys
