From good citizen-geek Captain Slinky, who has the whole book on display here. We know what he wanted most based on what’s colored. No love for G.I. Joe!

The book is described as “a new concept in Christmas gift buying. A coloring book that provides a chance for your son or daughter to spend hours of fun coloring their favorite toys, and a chance for the parent to get a ‘sneak preview’ of their child’s Christmas Gift Wish List…”

As if we were shy about letting the parental units know what we wanted. Still, the coloring book wish list—tripling as a coupon book—is pretty damn smart. Everybody wins.

    Oh man, I used to LOVE Starriors. I had completely forgotten about them. I remember thinking that only the rich kids had the big red T-Rex one.

    Yeah it was a wind up motor. Looking back at the old commercials I’m surprised by how cheap looking they were,
