The X from Outer Space
Sat down and watched The X from Outer Space (1967) for the very first time recently.
Having no nostalgic or emotional connections to this giant monster movie, while watching the titular antennaed birdlike creature repeatedly destroy Japan I will report that I did have an occasional olfactory flashback to the strangely comforting petrochemical smell of those small rubber monster toys sold for a quarter in egg shaped plastic capsules from bubble gum vending machines back when I was a kid.
As for the film: I liked it a lot; colorful with a great swinging sixties soundtrack.
Here's the international trailer:

Was there ever anything cooler than the Probot, a robotic squid that explodes when taunted? I say nay.
As a kid I never realized that these vintage Star Wars toy commercials cheaped out and used generic music instead of the famous and more expensive John Williams theme.
Oh well.

The worst toy of the 1970s? I actually received Milky as a Christmas present as a kid (though I'm sure I would have preferred to have gotten an X-wing Fighter).
Here's a commercial for Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow from Kenner:
