    I must have had 100 of these. Countless hours spent pushing them around indoors and outdoors.

    I remember wanting toys, getting toys and then being disappointed, I didn't have fun playing with them.
    I guess my favourite was my big doll, I liked to practice braiding her hair.

    This thread reminded me of a fun memory! When my brother and I were around 10 we took all my barbies and all his wrestlers and gave them tattoos and "plastic surgery". It was fun.

    nice...I remember cutting my dolls hair and wanting to take them apart...rip head off *shrugs*

    When my GI Joe's would break I'd take them apart and rebuild them with GoBot parts, that was always pretty cool

    My daughter reconfigures her broken Monster High dolls all the time...new faces, new body parts or steampunk style appendages, merging them together...it's weird, but cool...I was never that creative as a child.

    Tonka anything, the metal ones. If you didn't have a chance to cut yourself on a rusted out old Tonka dump truck in our neighborhood, you missed out.

    And Hot Wheels.

    I was separated from my parents for about a year when I was 6. So when we were finally able to see each other again , my dad gave me a barbie and a doll house. It's all I played with when I was growing up. Till this day, I still have that barbie. Her head came off but it can still mound on her neck. My girls play with her often. But now that I think of it, I haven't seen her in weeks....

    LOL! this reminded me of one day coming home from school where I left my perfectly set up barbies and accessories...okay some shoe boxes I turned into rooms and some random furniture and I think a camper and the vette! woo that purple vette was the bomb!!! anyway younger brother by 2 yrs was home sick that day as well

    I came home to headless...armless dolls and some JI JOE dolls driving my vette and camper :o ....apparently there was a war while I was away :s I guess it could have been a hell of a lot worse amirite? :#

    I was pretty in love with my stuffed animals, especially bears & one particular unicorn.

    But my favorite toys were Crayola markers. Every type imaginable.

    I must have put hundreds of miles on my Huffy! We lived in the country, so the gravel roads were our highway. We rode our bikes and explored every abandoned house and barn within miles of our house.
