What was your fave toy(s) when you were a kid?

Post by purplebluelove99 »

I am a child of the 80s so I had Strawberry Shortcake, smurfs, cabbage patch kids, Rainbow Brite, and Care Bears. I loved the Care Bears when I was growing up. They came out again about 2 years ago and I went out and bought like 5 or 6 of them. I just love 'em!

Personally I liked toys that you could build stuff out of. In my early childhood it was lincoln logs, and Legos, then it was K'nex. I also loved Micro Machines.

I had a stuffed elephant, I use to toss around in my room a lot and my mom would yell at me for that. I don't know what happened to him. Probably gave him away.

I was never all that into the masculine/monsters/hero stuff as a wee lad. They never seemed all that interesting to me. Personally, I was into the more creative stuff such as Lego, PlayDoh, Magna Doodle etc.

Oh when I was younger I actually had a few toys I was extremley attatched to. One was this stuff animal baby Mickey. I carried him everywhere with me, I also with through the same faze with a Raggdiy Ann (ugh spelling is off), a new born looking baby doll that I took everywhere with and pretended to play mom with I bought her clothes and a baby stroller. And I had a big attatchment to my Cabbage Patch Dolls. Okay but I am pretty sure thats about it. :) Nice topic.

One of my favorite toys was an action figure of Venom. I was really into action figures as a kid.

As a child of the 80s, my favorite were the CareBears! 8)
more specifically, a gray carebear. or was she purple? I forgot what it was called..but she had the red heart "CareBear" thing on her! :lol:

and I had a pink teddy bear which I always brough with me to my baby sitter.
and I always had a My Little Pony whenever we went to church (when I was younger) because (my mom says) I didn't like holding the hands of "strangers" so I used the pony as an excuse. :p

and then we moved, and now they're gone. :(

Also a child of the late 70s/80s, I naturally had a bunch of Star Wars toys, which are still my favourite toys :D

LEGO was a big deal for me too.

I was also into Voltron at the time, and I had all the lions to form Voltron, and a childhood trip to Hong Kong yielded the big castle dirt cheap.

But being a comic collector now, I still buy the odd Green Arrow-related or Star Wars action figure :P

I only had the red power ranger.
Although I do have quite a few McDonald toys. I'd always want to go there just to get a toy.

My absolute favourite had to be LEGO. I still have tons and tons of it stored in 4 giant plastic containers; some built into sets and others not. Mostly I collected the space sets (Space Police, Ice Planet [have every set of this], etc.) and the castle stuff (Dragon Masters).

I also liked Transformers action figures, Thundercats (had that massive base) stuff, Darkwing Duck figures, and Ghostbusters toys.

I used to play with a Hello Kitty stuffed doll when I was a kid. I don't remember when I got it, but according to my Mom, she bought the doll just to get me to shut up because I was begging and pleading to have it. (I still have the Hellow Kitty doll to this day.)
