I had quite a few toys as a child over the years, but one that I remember well is an action figure my parents gave me.
I think I was about 6 or maybe 7 years old, and it became one of my favorite toys for a few years.
I remember it well because of the circumstances. They gave it to me when I was in the hospital to have an operation and had to stay in the hospital for about 4 days.
Anyway, after the first day and the operation, they came to visit me and brought me a present, which was a nice surprise. I unwrapped the present, and it was an action figure – a soldier – which I thought was pretty cool at the time.
I liked it because the hospital was a boring place and having a new toy was fun. It kept me amused playing with it and inventing all kinds of adventures he could be involved in.
I guess it was a kind of therapy. I didn’t feel that well for a couple of days and wasn’t allowed to get out of bed until the last day. So it gave me something to pass the time, apart from reading a book.
At night, when I was in the hospital and couldn’t sleep, I used to imagine places my soldier would go - the jungle, mountains, and faraway places. And I would invent all kinds of adventures and exciting situations. But of course, he would always survive and return from his mission successfully.
Thinking about it now, it’s quite funny how vivid my imagination was back then.
I really liked the toy for a few years, but then I became interested in other things and lost interest in action figures.
But it’s still one of the gifts and one of the toys I had as a child that I remember well, probably because of the circumstances, being in hospital and everything.
