They survived firecrackers(dynamite), real gun attacks (my daisy BB gun),and a mauling by a wolf (my friends dog), but at the end of each day they survived to fight again. I had two horses with them, Flame and Thunderbolt. Flames tail broke and ny father put in a Crown Royal silk tassle as a tail and it looked great. Like so many of my toys, they ended up at the church bazaar at St. Thomas Anglican's Fall sale in November in Montreal. If they are not in a land fill somewhere, I am sure they are still intact and fighting. The only things that broke, was the lid on Johnny's strong box.

There was also a cowboy and a horse and each figure had alot of accessories to dress them up in. I never did get that for Christmas. I think my mom thought it was a boy toy. It was fun looking at these images. It brings back memories of childhood. I remember seeing a doll like this in the Sears Roebuck catalog when I was a kid and I wanted it so much.

After a week in a coma I awoke and was given a Johnny West figure by my Father and Mother. Its one of my best memories in my life I have ever had. After a long stay and learning to walk again Johnny West was the best toy I ever owned. To me, age 49 now, Johnny West was`nt only a toy `he` was a life saver!

I think my parents bought the wrong set but the TTP was (if I still remember accuratley!) fantastic fun and worked WAY better than Evels set!....I would pay good money if I anyone has got one of these for sale but ebay is sadly lacking on these great toys. Anyone got one for sale?...please let me know. Evel. RIP. Always wanted the Evel Kneivel set at the time.

I began thinking about how amazing it is that he survived my childhood and still has most of his accessories. I remember swinging him around by the leg wondering if he'd come apart, and he never did. My son picked him up and began dressing him up with his head-dress, mask, and arrows. I wondered if he'd survive a second generation of rough play ... I guess I'll keep him a while longer.
