    I'm 54, so a ton of you won't remember this toy. My favorite was talking Larry Lion. He was so cute. You pulled a string and he had about 10 phrases to say. Loved him!!!

    Man... I had quite a few faves... the Ewok Village, Castle Greyskull, The Millenium Falcon... I never got the GI Joe Aircraft carrier or base. Had tons of Star Wars, GI Joe, GoBots, Transformers, and He-Man toys (mom always found a way to spoil ... for fear of an in-store tantrum lol).

    I'd have to say one of my fave toys that I got when I was a little older was a Robotech Invid Shock Trooper. Still have it... somewhere. lol

    OH I do have a rag doll that my grandmother gave me. She has been resewed so many times. Poor doll has had surgery. Now she sits on my shelf and is there. I have had her since I was like 8. Um the doll is 32.

    My popple,

    I would roll it into the ball, and have the tail hanging out, then I would dangle it from my bed by the tail as I fell asleep...it would protect me from anything under my bed

    I still have my Popple :) she is pink w/purple hair. I showed it too my sons and they were like what in the world is that. LOL

    Mine was yellow, I think pink hair.....I am envious that you have your still!! :)

    Would "Big Wheels" be considered a toy? I was truly an Evil Kenevil on a big wheel. There was truly no ramp I wouldn't jump. Missing seat? No problem! :laugh:

    I loved my barbies. One Christmas my parents didn't have much money. My mom hand-sewed a ton of barbie clothes. I handed those down to my daughters. I also have the first baby doll I ever got. I played with her soooo much. Her hair ended up coming out, so my parents sent her for repair. She came back with a hat sewn on lol!

    When I was really little I LOVE cabbage patch dolls but as I got older and became to "mature" for baby dolls, I turned to Barbie lol my favs that I remember off the top of my head would be my 90210 dolls (Brenda, Kelly, Donna, Brandon, & Dylan- always wondered why David, Steven, and Andrea got the shaft lol) and I also had the Jordan Knight (NKOTB) doll and I remember my doll had a rat tail you could pull out really far then shove it back in his head to make it shorter lol. I also remember when Barbie came out that had the hair all the way to her feet and how sad I was when I realized that Barbies hair NEVER grows back :(

    LOVED my Mrs. Beasley Doll...just like Buffy had.
    OMG I had one of those too and it was my most prized possession! Mine only had one arm because my sister tried to take her from me one time and pulled off the arm and my mom couldn't put it back on. Not sure why. I would only eat Green Giant peas until the night I had the dream that the Jolly Green Giant stepped on our house and separated me from Mrs. Beasley. After that, I wouldn't eat peas anymore. Now I just think they are gross and thinking about eating them makes me gag.

    I found another one about 20 years ago. Sadly I don't have either one anymore. My ex put a bunch of my boxes in the barn and I didn't realize they were in there and the boxes got destroyed between the rain an the critters. By the time I found them I didn't think they were salvageable and with a heavy heart I threw them in the fire. :sad: :brokenheart:

    I also cherished my Chrissie Doll...she had hair that pulled out of the top of her head so you could make it longer or shorter...so much fun...until I cut it with scissors and realized that it wasn't coming back!
    Holy Moly, I had one of these also. My granddaughter has her now. She calls her big baby. I think the pony tail got cut off at some point. I think my daughter did it. I remember spending hours trying to brush her hair.

    I had a VERY realistic looking doll that weirdly looked like me. We would go out to eat with my Grandparents every other Sunday, and I would insist that my doll (whose name was Rachel, after the character in Animorphs) had it's own high chair or booster seat. I would pretend to feed her, and my mom taught me how to put cloth diapers on her. When I would have her all bundled up, strangers would ask my mom why she let me carry the baby (I was 5-10 when I did this), and mom would shrug and say "It's not mine, it's hers." It was always funny to see people recoil in shock (when they got close and realized it was a doll).

    Also, my siblings and I pretended the floor was lava at least once a day. It's a shame you can't sell that *kitten*.

    My Easy Bake Oven....and Simon

    Edit: my siblings and I use to spray a can of Pledge on our family room floor (huge room)..and we would use my mom's big, fluffy towels to really put a good buffed shine on it. Then we'd put our white socks on and run and slide...it was soooo much fun!

    But I slid right into the wall and went face first...broke my front tooth in half and swallowed it. Went 2 years being called "Skate Face". I looked weird until my mom was able to get it fixed. Before that happened...that floor was my favorite childhood toy :-)

    I don't remember much of my childhood, I think I fried those memories away during my teenage years. However, I do remember having a pretty awesome warrior-skunk-dude. He was scratch and sniff. Seriously. If you scratched this dude, he would smell like skunk a*ss.

    I remember sitting in my room by myself smelling warrior-skunk-a*s.

    I think I'll go cry now. :)

    Definitely Transformers, I loved those things to death...still do...I managed to keep all the figures I had as a kid and still have them now.

    My Lego sets survived my childhood as well....I really need to find those at my parent's place someday!

    Snoopy Snow Cone Machine

    Teddy Ruxpin but not when I was little. More like when I was a teenager. We would put our NWA cassette in his back and he would "rap" with Ice Cube & Eazy E. (hides head in shame)
