In the picture below it looks like a simple old fuse. But to a 6 year old it was that anti-matter power generator thingy or whatever it was in the cartoon. Many a Joe and Cobra fought over it for many years. All the way up til I stopped playing with them in 92. It survived three moves, well three moves during the 80's anyhow, and it survived my youth when so much didn't. I found it in an old shoe box with a bunch of old pencils and papers and notebooks from high school. That little fuse brings back so many memories, and that Cobra Commander on the right is the one I actually had as a kid too.

I used something similar, it was a leveling vial with the fluorescent yellow liquid inside, was meant to be a secret ooze of sorts. Still have it in a tackle box somewhere.
