Most Loved Childhood Toys

BigDaddyBRC

My brother and I thought we always had the best toys in the neighborhood....until we AFTER we destroyed the house:

Trackball - in the hallway - until we broke a collector plate worth $1K in the 70's
Legos - Until the Lego WAR through the kitchen that broke the chandelier
Football - Until we played in the street - Cars were legal contact

Pretty much any toy we had we found destructive purposes..LOL

He-Man, Evil Kan-evil, Hot Wheels, GI Joe, Lincoln Logs, SLIME, Rock 'em Sock 'em, blow-up punching gloves, Stretch Armstrong, ANYTHING Star Wars, REAL Metal TONKA Truck, Army men, Rubix Cube, Big Wheel, THE GREEN MACHINE, Micronaughts (dont know if I spelled that right), transformers, Thundercats....that;s all I can remember.

Just know...it's not the toys that cause damage, its the explosives you tape to them

TheRoadDog

Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots !!!

Told my daughter, Holland, about them and how badly I wanted them when I was a kid.

2 years ago, Holland found them and bought them for me.

LOVED my Mrs. Beasley Doll...just like Buffy had.

When I got transferred to Okinawa in 1974, my baby sister was devastated. She was about 8. I bought her a Mrs. Beasley doll. She still has it. 38 years later.

My Barbies enjoyed special time with my brother's GI Joe and some guy named Big Jim who had a camper van called the "Rescue Rig".

How weird. This is exactly what happened with my Barbies and my brother's GI Joe and Big Jim. My folks still have these toys at their house and my kids have played with them.

I loved my Barbies, my Hot Wheels and this

OMG! I forgot about Fashion Plates! I loved that thing!

I still have those too! I guess I'm a packrat... Everytime I see them on Pinterest, it makes me want to go rummage through my old closet.

I had a 'My Pet Monster' which I just loved!!! He was huge and blue had a big plastic nose and fangs... seems strange as I was otherwise a very girly-girl! I think he's still in the loft at my mums...

My Barbie townhouse and my lite brite !!!!

Little Green Army Men.

All of us kids had tons of those! They got stepped on as much as Barbie's shoes LOL

Just finished going through everyone's posts - I loved Fashion Plates, too. Totally forgot about those.
I loved riding my sky blue with white trim, banana-seated bike. I loved that bike.
Also, my brother and I had a collection of Match Box/Hot Wheels cars that we would take outside on the patio and made cities out of left over ends of 2x4's and 4x4's. Hours of fun.

For indoors:
Tinkertoys,
Lincoln Logs,
Legos
Silly Putty

Probably why I ended up in engineering and construction

For outdoors: (not exactly toys)
homemade skateboard
Tree house

(probably why I shouldn't have gone into engineering and construction)

I had dolls too:
Barbie
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans (well, that dates me, doesn't it)
Plush doggies and bears --Poochie, Moochie, Cubby, and Harry Malley

I seen somene posted weeble wobble treehouse.. I freaking loved that. I always wanted a home like that when I was little hehe!

TeenaMarina

I loved the Tree House too, except it wasn't a Weeble house. It was actually the Kenner Family Tree House by Fisher Price. Also I loved the Spirograph, and my Chicaboo and Kitty Boo dolls, aka Munchichis.

My other Favorite was a pepsi Toy Soda Fountain - you had to pour pepsi in a plastic bottle that cale with it and then used the fountain lever to get it back out...

Barbies! Me and my sister played with them endlessly - made up complicated stories to act out. I also had quite a big Smurf collection...

I loved my Barbies, my Hot Wheels and this

OMG! I had a Barbie version of this!

I had a Bozo the Clown doll, circa 1972 that was the love of my childhood. To this day I havent forgiven my mom for throwing him away during a move and claiming he got lost. My brothers told me the truth you lying bit*h.

I forgot about Bozo the Clown. I had the doll and LOVED the show! It's funny because my 10 year old daughter gets freaked out by clowns!

cabaray

Yes...Lite Bright...I played with that for hours!

I'm a child of the 80s and early 90s, so I had a mega love for my Cabbage Patch Doll. Her name was Kelly and I still have all of her accessories and "birth certificate" with her at my parents' house.

Aside from my doll, I loved to play with my brother's Ghostbuster toys. I absolutely loved his ghost trapper and proton pack! haha!

spudman1232

Another favorite!

Light Bright.

My kids adored Manta Force and Red Venom, big spaceships with lots of tiny ships and figures stored inside. Did you have that in the USA?

bmxpop

Creepy Crawlers made with "gobbledy goop"....and the similar Incredible Edibles.

Also the Strange Change machine that transformed the little squares into dinosaurs.
