My first stop (after strangling both Hitler and Trump in their baby cribs) will be the mid-70s where with a couple hundred dollars or less I could own ALL these toys. Many I had and would still have if their weren't on the bottom of the Atlantic right now.
I know it sounds weird but I have been chasing this Hugo all my life. First of all he is the lest repulsive ventriloquist dummy I have ever seen and he comes with all those disguises. As a kid I want to be like Lon Chaney and develop my own monster make-up but I wasn't very good at it. If I had continued that education I would have been one of the first cosplayers.
For a Christmas in the mid-seventies I received this GI JOE sky kite. Both me and my Dad loaded my finest JOE into it and took it to the top of our five story apartment building to launch it. We figured it would fly for a short time and gentle come back to Earth. But the winds and aerodynamics of the toy were perfect that day and all we could do was watch it disappear into the distance. Sure we search with the car and the next day I want on foot into the big field but we never saw it again. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still riding the jet stream today.

I know what I'd do if I had a time machine!!! No, I'm not going to say.
Go back in time and buy me some toys before strangling Trump in his crib??
Frontier Fun! Now you can reenact all the things that made living in a hostile environment so great. Malnutrition! Dysentery! Rape and murder, and the ever popular consumption! Hours of fun for the whole family.
My brother and I had a Hugo, he was awesome and many of his disguise elements made some fun and goofy disguises we could wear ourselves.
Hey the frontier wasn't that bad if you were the gunslinger and not the natives with a smallbox covered blanket. The fifties kinda whitewashed the old west to make it more appealing.
I would have wore those disguises myself if I ever had my Hugo.
