Nah.
When I was 8 or so, I put a quarter into one of those gumball machines
that dispenses toys, not gumballs. This particular one had little
plastic football helmets. You got a helmet of a particular team color,
stickers to put on the helmet, and the faceguard part was a separate
white piece of plastic you had to put on. I ended up with a Raiders
helmet. I got the stickers on, attached the faceguard to the main
helmet, and now my favorite toy mouse could play football. (I'd managed
to get a football out of *another* such gumball machine a couple of
weeks previously, but that machine just took a dime.)
I might still have that little helmet somewhere. Not certain, though.
(I still have the mouse, I'm sure of *that*....)
