Johnny Seven OMA (One Man Army)

A toy ad from the 60s that probably wouldn’t get run today:

    I had one of these as a kid, haven’t thought of it in a long time. And I had all of the Johnny Eagle guns & the nuclear weapon of playing Army: the Johnny Reb cannon (with confederate flag). Lots of kids had toys like that in our New Jersey neighborhood, Topper & Remco Toys were local outfits, their toys in all the stores & ads on TV. We loved to play army and cowboys & Indians, you’d think it would make you a violent adult – well maybe in my brothers case, but getting drafted helped him work that all out. Wonder if today’s video games like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto might be worse, but software is much more PC than toy guns, I guess

    Of course we played cowboys and indians and good guys and bad guys.

    And don’t even think about smear the queer (we didn’t even know what the term meant).

    My dad took us shooting all the time and we played with his welded up bazooka and German WWII machine gun.

    Have you seen the new Nerf toy guns? Johnny Seven never had full auto and realistic mag changes. The heyday of toy guns is not over, it’s in its prime.

    It was, indeed, a Golden Age.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
