Tonka Tough: Difference between revisions

▲A toy, usually 1970s or 1980s vintage, that is considered so tough, it could survive a nuclear war (almost). It may suffer for countless years at the hands of [[Spoiled Brat|a destructive brat]], but will only suffer [[Only a Flesh Wound|minor scuffs and breakages]] in the process. It will still look relatively unharmed after a [[Fate Worse Than Death|10-year stay in someone's poo-filled unheated closet located above a very greasy snackbar]]. Better yet, in the hands of a collector, it will often clean up so well after such an event that it will look almost new. Sometimes it will be [[The Remake|reissued]], and will then [[Badass Grandpa|kick the ass of later]], [[Well Intentioned Replacement|more accurate products]]. Usually, it isn't a very realistic and/or accurate representation of its subject, but this should not distract from its most important quality: [[Badass|its toughness]].
