    Glo. Worm!

    My parents still have mine somewhere :smile:


    I still have my Glo Worm and it still works!
    Also loved my yellow Huffalump, Barbies and a porcelain doll that I name "Porcelain" at the age of 2 LOL:laugh:

    I still have mine too... I don't know if it works or not... I even have a whole bunch of glow worm figurines as well... Man, if we go home at Easter, I'm definitely going through stuff...

    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 OH and I tryed that a few weeks ago. Not easy now!!

    I still do it once in a while, but I usually end up melting before making it to safety. It's definitely tougher!

    I loved, still love, Strawberry Shortcake and My LIttle Pony. The Strawberry Shortcake dolls they make today don't smell as good to me though. Blueberry Muffin was my favorite.

    Oh! And my Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. I still have those and gave them to my daughter.

    Popples. I *loved* my Popples. I still have one of them, actually.

    Oh, and Legos. I still play with Legos if I can find the opportunity.

    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 one of those Chrissie Dolls too. I took her to the beauty shop one day and cut off all her hair. She lost some of her thrill when there was no hair to make longer.

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

    I didn't know Buffy had one o these, but the last time I was at my Mom's I introduced my sister's old Mrs. Beasley to my 3 year-old. Pulled the strong and, "I'm Mrs. Beasley." I was easily FAR more amused than she.

    ...oooh, you evil. wonder if this will come up in her therapy 30 years from now...
    mrs. beasley can be so damn creepy, to those not in the know.
    love me some family affair and mr. french.

    I have a HUGE eighties toy collection just sitting in bins right now nowhere to put it! I loved Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Smurfs, Pound Puppies, and My Little Pony. When I get the ambition I am going to try to sell it on Etsy!

    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.

    My Tomy Toy Computer! I loved that thing. I also had a giant (for a child) Big Bird doll with a tape player in it, and he'd sing you the ABCs and stuff. I also loved the Barbie's Little Sister Kelly dolls.

    Lincoln Logs, popples, frogger on atari, barbies of course and cabbage patch dolls. We used to play, "honey I love you but I just can't smile" Where everyone says one liners trying to get the kid that's "it" to laugh and that kid has to say "honey I love you but I just can't smile" after every one liner. And we used to play remote, where one kid has the remote and the other kids have to make up scenes for each channel that we changed it to. Good times, but the best.. was balloon volley ball in our rooms, we'd attach our bed sheets to the bed and the window for the net and play all day. Oh, and the foot game where you lay on the couch with your feet together and try to get the other person to bend their leg. Ahhhh, to be a kid again...

    Wow! Thanks to all for your great responses - keep them coming! There's quite a few here we have (or had) in the shop - and I get to play with them, er, I mean, test them to make sure they're working!

    We have the Ewok village, also the Weeble tree-house (empty), but we thought it was from Acorn Green, so thanks for identifying that for us. I'll have to find some Weebles to go in it.

    That 'warrior skunk-thingy' is Stinkor from He-Man/Masters of the Universe, but I never knew he was scratch'n'sniff!

    My kids had the Big Yellow Teapot, and also the Big Red Fun Bus in the same series.

    I'm now on a mission to get some Popples!

    OMFG, those plates ruled! We had some at a schoolI worked at and I had to teach the girls how to use them. So much fun! I just loved to draw, period, tho.

    Original GI Joe. Not the little scrawny 3 3/4inch ones. Best toy ever.

    Weebles Wobble ... but they don't fall down.

    Weeble Treehouse:

    I had one of these!! I played with it so much that the top wouldn't stay down! I remember pushing it down and it popping right back up!! I loved the little elevator!!! =D


    I also LOVED playing with my "She-Ra" Castle! My brother had the He-Man one, but I always thought mine was better. We used to put things on her elevator and pull the string really hard and make a catapult out of it! We did that so much there was actually a worn area under the string from the string rubbing on the side of the castle!! Thanks for all of the memories!!! =D =D

    Mine was my stuffed sock monkey made by my Grandma. Still have it. My daughter's was her Cricket talking doll. Her sons put tapes in it and dance with her while she sings. They also change her clothes now and then. What a hoot.

    A spyrograph, loved that thing, and there was another one that spun around and you dripped paint in it.. don't remember what that one was called, but I made the most tasteful artwork for my mom's fridge.

    LOL, my Teddy Rugspin I think it was called? I just thought it was cool to stick a Metallica tape in it and watch it sing along :laugh:

    I had a Teddy Ruxpin in middle school. We got rid of it though because it scared me. It would start playing all by itself.
    I was an only child but had 3 boy cousins to play with. At Christmas I would always get at least one "boy" toy so I could share with them. I always loved those the most -- it was usually better than what they got. Loved my race track, laser tag, G.I. Joe, Atari, etc. I loved my electric guitar until my mom made me take lessons (only lasted 2 months). My cousin got drums. We drove the neighbors crazy.

    Snoopy Sno Cone Maker. They still make them. My kids have one.

    Also, I loved playing with my Barbies and my She-Ra with her Crystal Castle.

    Legos & Cricket (because you could put cassette tapes in her and make her sing along to the music)
