    Barbie. That bia had everything. Also it was fun to make them act out the soap operas my grandmother taped religiously. [shakes head] And I wonder where I went wrong. lol.

    Oh, and the other day when visiting Mom she hands me this Lemon Meringue happy meal toy. I open it and immediately stuck it under my nose, and it smelled like the dolls did when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure she thought I was on crack when I said "It smells like my childhood."

    I was really lucky that in my church there were quite a few retired men who had been joiners etc. in the past and my mum paid a group of them to make me a doll's house. It was awesome! Was 100 times nicer than any of the plastic crap that you could buy in the shops....it was really a work of art.

    My mum would take me to a local toy shop to buy furniture and dolls for it every so often (Sylvanian families!). I loved it and still had it in my room when I was a teenager 'cause it was so beautiful.

    On one hand, my Barbies. I was super imaginative and made TV shows, played "1996 Summer Olympic Magnificent 7 team," even did time-period play (colonial, prairie, etc.) And then on the other hand, I love love loved my Batman action figurines and Batman castle.

    I loved my Barbies to be honest... I just liked dressing them up... and recreating the soap operas I used to see on tv (I was homeschooled and usually done by that time... :wink:)

    My husband is trying to rebuild his Teddy Ruxpin bear.

    Lego castle. GI Joes were cool, so were transformers, but nothing topped the lego castle.

    My cousin and I built it into the tower of london.

    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".

    cheerful tearful doll. You could pull down its arm and its face would change to a sad expression and cry.

    I have never understood a doll that cries...I would probably shake the hell out of it!

    I was busting ghosts all over my house with this...

    BAHHH!!!! I need to find this for my brother... this just brought back a major memory of my brother (who was three at the time) ghostbusting everyone in church.... we were the reason the created a children's church! :laugh:

    Sorry to highjack, I couldn't help myself....

    On topic, I also liked my Polly Pockets (just cause they were the thing at the time)... and legos (I loved to make massive houses)... and even paper dolls (I would trace out the original clothes for the shapes, and then create my own looks for the paper dolls)
