Toys of Christmas past

Somewhere on a VHS tape or 35 mm film is a kid flipping out while unwrapping a favorite toy in front of a Christmas tree – a Luke Skywalker action figure, the ECTO-1 from “Ghostbusters,” or a 12-inch G.I. Joe. Chances are those same toys could be putting the same reaction on a kids’...
