Boys, which are faster - the new Johnny Lightning 500’s or the Sizzlers?

The Johnny Seven O.M.A. (One Man Army), made by Deluxe Reading for their Topper Toys line. This was one of the bestselling toys of 1964.

It was called Johnny Seven because it functions as seven different weapons: a grenade launcher (on the top); an anti-tank gun (the red shell on the side of the barrel was supposedly "armor piercing"); an anti-bunker missile (the green projectile on the end of the barrel); a repeating rifle (the 12 white plastic bullets seen in the magazine in the center of the weapon); a Tommy gun (a spring-loaded mechanical rat-a-tat sound generated by pulling back a lever and pressing the trigger); a cap-firing rifle; or a cap pistol (the pistol grip was removable).

The stock could be removed and the bipod folded to make the weapon smaller. At full length the Johnny Seven O.M.A. was three feet long and weighed 4 pounds (almost as much as a real-life M-16).

I almost got this puppy, albeit in used condition, when I was a wee tyke. One of me sainted da's co-workers had two teenaged boys who had received the Johnny Seven as a Christmas gift. The teens decided they didn't want it anymore (they had discovered girls - EWWWW!), and me da's colleague wanted to know if I'd be interested in the toy.

The man and his sons even brought the Johnny Seven O.M.A. to ur house to demonstrate it. I remember being super-excited, especially seeing how far the hollow "missiles" and "grenades" travelled. Me da almost agreed to the deal, but me sainted mum pooh-poohed the deal.

I think she was afraid I'd be using my sister and the family dog as targets, or shooting out windows. She was also probably concerned that the missiles and grenades would be going over our fence and into the neighbors' yards; given the extremely small size of our yard that was a very distinct possibility.

So yeah, another cool toy from the 1960s that I missed out on.

The Johnny Seven O.M.A. retailed for $7.00 back in 1964, the equivalent of about $70.00 today. The cheapest I've seen it on eBay is around $150.00. However, after my stint in the Army, where I got to work will all the real-life versions of this toy, I no longer yearn to replace this brief snippet of my childhood.

I finally wrote some silly, short, fluffy modern AU Ed/Stede fic, which is also very much drawn from my own experience:

What if you were making fun of someone else's wedding, and happened to say that you could do it better, and then it became a bit, and then..........maybe it's not a bit?

In which even the canon callbacks, most of them, are drawn from life.

A cake topper with a backstory, and what I think is supposed to be Tweety bird..? It's hard to say
