GOT MYSELF ON A NOSTALIGA TOY KICK EARLIER, AND I THOUGHT I'D DIG UP SOME MORE OF IT. HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF THE KENNER EASY SHOW PROJECTOR:
HERE'S A DISCUSSION PAGE WHERE SOME FOLKS WRITE IN WITH THEIR MEMOIRES OF THIS TOY INCLUDING THE BOY ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX PICUTRED ABOVE:
EASY SHOW PROJECTOR CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
THE EASY SHOW PROJECTOR WAS IN FILM REEL VERSION. ONE OF THE BOXES SAYS THE PROJECTOR IS MOTOTRIZED, BUT THE BOTTOM BOX IN THE PHOTO SHOWS THE BOY CRANKING IT BY HAND
HERE'S A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF THE KENNER GIVE-A-SHOW PROJECTOR:
THIS TOY HAD THE FILM ON A SLIDE STRIP THAT WAS THEN PROJECTED ONTO A WALL OR SHEET, OR CELING AS SOME WOULD HAVE IT. HERE'S A DISUCSSION ON THE GIVE-A-SHOW PROJECTOR FROM THE SAME WEBISTE FROM ABOVE:

HERE'S SOME MORE OF THOSE 1971 SEARS WISHBOOK PAGES SHOWING MOST OF THE ITEMS I'VE LISTED HERE:
I GOT ONE OF THESE PLAYDOH FUN FACTORY SETS FOR CHRISTMAS IN 1965. I LOVED IT:
DISNEYKINS DISPLAYER - THIS WAS PURCHASED AT OUR LOCAL SEARS IN THE 1960'S, AND HUNG ON MY BROTHER'S AND MY BEDROOM WALL UNTIL I GOT MY OWN FIRST APARTMENT IN 1984.
I MISSED OUT ON A LOT OF THE TOYS I'VE SHOWN HERE. HOWEVER, ONE I DID RECEIVE THAT FOR ME WAS ONE OF 3 OF MY ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS GIFTS WAS THE MARX FT. APACHE PLAYSET. I PLAYED WITH THIS SET FOR HOUR AFTER HOUR UNTIL I "OUTGREW' IT, AND IT WAS GIVEN AWAY TO A YOUNGER COUSIN (DANGIT).
AH YES. THE OTHER SORE SPOT FOR ME, AND ANOTHER ONE OF MY THREE FAVORITE ALL-TIME CHRISTMAS GIFTS. JOHNNY WEST AND CHIEF CHEROKEE WITH HORSES. I GOT ALL FOUR OF THESE WHEN I WAS 12 IN 1967. WHEN I LEFT TO GO IN THE ARMY IN 1974 I STILL HAD ALL FOUR STILL IN THEIR MINT CONDITION BOXES. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME FOR LEAVE THE FIRST TIME, MY PARENTS HAD GIVEN AWAY ABOUT 3/4 OF ALL OF MY TOYS TO YOUNGER COUSINS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. HERE'S A CROPPED SEARS WISHBOOK PHOTO OF JOHNNY WEST & HIS HORSE THUNDERBOLT (I DIDN'T HAVE JANE WEST, BUT I DID HAVE THE CHIEF CHEROKEE AND HIS HORSE):

HERE'S ONE I'LL BET NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD, OR EVEN HEARD OF FOR THAT MATTER. THERE WAS ONE OTHER LP THAT RONNY HOWARD AND ROBBIE LESTER DID TOGETHER CALLED "THE STORY AND SONGS OF THE ORANGE BIRD" THAT WAS BASED ON THE ORANGE BIRD OF THE FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE COMMERCIALS. IT FEATURES ANITA BRYANT NARRATING AND SINGING. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A COPY OF IT ONLINE. SO I SHARE IT HERE WITH YOU NOW!!!

"3 LITTLE PIGS" HOW THEY FOOLED THE BIG BAD WOLF AND THE THREE LITTLE WOLVES AND INVENTED THE WOLF SPANKING MACHINE (DQ-1310 1966)
OK. HERE IS THE RIP FROM THE NEW LP. SORRY TO SAY IT WAS FAR FROM MINT, BUT IT WAS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE FIRST LP. I LEFT A LITTLE BIT OF THE NOISE BECAUSE I KNEW IF I STARTED EDITING TOO MUCH THE SOUND WOULD BE RIGHT BACK TO AS BAD AS THE FIRST FILE. I STILL HAVE THE WAV FILES IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED, AND THINKS THEY CAN EDIT BETTER THAN I DID. YOU'RE WELCOME TO TRY.

"THE TIN WOODMAN OF OZ" (ST-3992 1969)
I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY INFO ON THE VOICE ACTORS FOR THIS LP. I'M ALMOST SURE THOUGH THAT THE VOICE OF WOOT IS A TEENAGE RONNY HOWARD.
EDIT: I JUST FOUND IN THE DOOMBUGGIES HAUNTED MANSION WEBSITE THAT RONNIE HOWARD IS INDEED THE VOICE OF WOOT ON THIS LP. HE TEAMED ON THIS AND MANY OTHER DISNEYLAND LPS WITH ROBBIE LESTER. I'M NOT SURE WHICH VOICE(S) LESTER DOES ON THIS LP. I'M THINKING ONE OF THE VOICES SHE DID WAS THAT OF POLYCHROME.
EDIT: THANKS TO A BLOG READER HERE I HAVE THE CAST LIST OF THIS LP. THANKS FAUXEP:
SAM EDWARDS - Narrator, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodman, Hip-po-gy-raf
DALLAS McKINNON - Scarecrow of Oz, Captain Fyter
ROBBIE LESTER - Polychrome, Ninnie Amee
GINNY TYLER - Mr. Yoop, The Lioness, The Scarecrowess, Ozma, Jinjur
RONNY HOWARD - Woot The Wanderer
