I LOVED Zamboni Hawks!!! 
My mom’s primary way of keeping me in line was to threaten my ZH viewing time.

I used to have all the action figures, but I never got the hockey rink action play set. I had the Zamboni for years, but my little brother blew it up with an M-80 while I was at band camp.

I was at RAF Cosford, a British air museum, and one of the staff was giving a guided tour to a bunch of Japanese men in smart suits… The guide appeared to be steering clear of any reference to the Yokosuka MXY7 Model 11 “Baka” suicide plane hanging in the ceiling.

That would make a lovely siege engine in post-apocalyptic film.

One of the reasons I am looking forward to a good VR is to be able to see such toys, up close, without having to travel to other countries (and then seeing the things only from moderate distance at best).
That, and digitized high-res shipwrecks.

I had the branded Big Wheels tie-in. Not as large, exciting or as re-smoothing as the commercials might have led you to believe.

Aside from the whole 'Human pilot? WTF? Our crazy stories involved Prof. Skinner and specially conditioned pigeons for guidance!" issue, that design is actually pretty futuristic. Air-launched cruise missiles with less suicidal guidance systems were a big Cold War item(on the US side, mostly to provide a means for heavy bomber groups to suppress Soviet SAM sites from a safe distance; on the Soviet side as a means to knock out US carrier groups; both sides dipping dangerously heavily into the ‘our accuracy is mediocre so we added a tactical nuclear warhead’ school of design).
The tactical nuclear variants have mostly been scrapped or mothballed; but conventional Air launched cruise missiles remain pretty popular as a way of giving B-52s something to do in environments where their near-total inability to survive contemporary AA capabilities prevent them from doing ordinary bombing.

Okay… I have no graphics, but how about a show staring Richard Dean Anderson and Mr. T as former FBI agents, on the run from both the US government, a drug cartel, the KKK, and the American communist party. Joining them each week is a former Miss America, played by Tawney Katane maybe? Each week they have to solve a new crime, and then they must move on to a new city (which amazingly ALWAYS looks like parts of LA). They drive in a van. The show could be called… I dunno. Federal Buddies?

#SOLD!
The kicker – they’re covertly funded by actor Leonard Nimoy who, while not appearing on-screen, coaches the gang via CB-radio at key points of each episode. The show will be called Nimoy and the Red Shirts.

I liked the idea of the B52 Air Superiority Fighter in one of the Dale Brown books, where they fill the bomb bay of a B25 with dozens on long range Air to Air missiles, creating an air superiority threat with an incredibly long loiter time.
That gif contains Quark, strangeness and charm
