Childhood Toys

[Kadar]

Sorry about the phone camera pictures.



The top one was made from duct tape,cardboard, and Popsicle sticks. I made that when it was just as tall as I was. 52" long. I eventually got a wooden boken. My friends and I would spar with this sword and the boken.

The second sword is a real sword with a real edge. I bought that when I was 12 or so. I used to string up water bottles and apples and stuff from the tree in my yard and cut them open. I also killed snowmen and various tall plants.

On the left is the most sturdy plastic sword I've ever had. My brother had one just like it until it broke. That's about when I started construction of the big sword. This is from back when plastic swords were made to take a beating. It used to have a hilt but that broke off.

On the right is one of my old nerf guns. Good times with that thing.

Not pictured are legos and cardboard boxes. Best toys ever.
