What were your favorite toys when you were a kid?

LaurieX · 10-03-2002, 02:15 PM

I was a Strawberry Shortcake girl all the way. I had all of them!

But BOY did I like to ride my Big Wheel.

Does anyone remember Weebles? Ok I guess I am showing my age now

Shit I remeber when The Trapper Keeper was introduced!

Evil Chris · 10-03-2002, 02:24 PM

I had a big set of Billy Blastoff.

Does anyone other than me know what that is?

I didn't go anywhere without my pocket pussy!

I always had sports equipment of some sort with me as well. Bats, balls, etc. GI Joe rocked the house also.

Hey

Me too... i loved Strawberry Shortcake!!! She's the greatest... smelt soooo good man!..

Also had Cricket.. 'member her? the talking doll lol... Now, she creeps me out.. after the movie 'Chucky'! lol... OH ya.. and My Buddy.... *singing* "my buddy, my buddy... my buddy and me "

Come to think of it....... i'm afraid of all dolls now, especially the ones that have eyes that move ... ooooooooooohh... sccccccaaaaaaaarrrrrrrryyyyyy!!!

hah!.. remember the dolls that used to wet themselves when you fed them.. the water would go straight thru the damn doll! Or the bottles when tipped over at a certain angle.....the liquid would disappear? Where it go? Still trying to figure that out

Can't remember anything else.... i think I blocked the rest of my childhood! lol..

Evil Chris · 10-03-2002, 04:20 PM

I used to have a GI Joe...as did a lot of my school mates at the time.
Mine broke one day. One of his hands came off. But I didn't care... I just chalked it up to a war injury.
We used to have mock executions and stuff.... Does that make me insane? LOL

LaurieX · 10-03-2002, 05:01 PM

Chris as long as you didn't have your GI Joe kill Luke and then hump your princess Lea Figurine I think your alright

Sorry Twinkley I was already a pre teen when Gem came out but I remember making fun of my little sister when she played with them.

Traffichoney that My Buddy doll hehehe funny. I bet you were a my little pony girl !

Chris who in the heck is Billy Blastoff

No, that's just part of what makes you insane.

Tobbe · 10-03-2002, 05:19 PM

first when i was 3 i found something on my tv.... alot of boys and girls where naked!?

thats what i did when i where young. (Just watched.)

ehh or maybe not... i can not tell you the names in english of my toys... i had alot of differnt ones.!

Tobbe · 10-03-2002, 05:20 PM

Car toys and more ...

twinkley · 10-03-2002, 05:33 PM

Hahahahaha Laurie, your showing your age!!

TrafficHoney,

I'm *still* trying to figure out where the milk went when you tipped those bottles over! Now you see it, now you dont!

Those wetting baby dolls were just annoying to me growing up - I dont want a toy I have to clean up after! hahahaha Hmmmm... guess that was a preminition of things to come (no wetting babies for twinkley!)

Big Wheels were the shit, so were Pogo-Balls and those whirly things you sat on, and twisted the handle and it made you spin until you couldnt hang on anymore!

twinkley

Funbrunette · 10-03-2002, 05:35 PM

Barbies & My little pony! It's funny I was at Toys"R"US today scoping out baby stuff and I saw the prettiest barbies!

They were never that nice when I was a kid! Oh...and they finally have brunette barbies

gunner · 10-03-2002, 05:38 PM

didn't really matter what I was playing with, I just liked breaking shit...
wait.... I still do.

Darin · 10-03-2002, 05:48 PM

You guys at toys?

When I was small, all I had was bottle caps... and I had to walk to school for miles with holes in my shoes.

Wait, that was my parents.. yeah thats right.. hehe

Um.. I really liked my Stretch Armstrong, until he broke and weird goo oozed out.

Big wheel was the shit, but grandparents thought I was big enough for bike so took it back and exchanged it.. never forgave them for that.

Girls

StuartD · 10-03-2002, 07:06 PM

Transformers for me!!! Can't beat that stuff.

What ticks me off now is seeing some souped up car of some 17 or 18 year old kid (who has rich parents obviously) with a big ass Transformer symbol on a window, just cause other people have it. Seems to be a fad that's catching on...

The friggin twits don't even have a clue what it is or where it came from, I asked some... they just gotta be unique, like all the unique people before them.

Talk about tarnishing some good childhood memories

LaurieX · 10-03-2002, 07:09 PM

Traffichoney My daughter has one of those bottles somewhere. Maybe I will disect it and report back to you. We will get to the bottom of this mystery

LaurieX · 10-03-2002, 07:10 PM

Oh and $50 says Twinkly had a sit and spin

Bree · 10-03-2002, 08:20 PM

My bicycle was my favorite ... I rode that bike all over the one square mile of town I lived in... and down along the beach

I had a Barbie Doll... I think it was one of the originals for God's sake.. and still have a very old one with "bubble hair".. and I have one of the first Twist and Turn Barbies... which my mother got by trading in one of the originals LOL they weren't worth anything back then...

More than toys I loved to play games.. like.. um... well yanno, those kiddie games.. like "Spy," "House," "Doctor," and "Batman"

StuartD · 10-03-2002, 08:24 PM

Only a few days of posting, and I get to find out all of Bree's toys.... past and present.
Of course, I got to see a pic of the toys she plays with now

poppy · 10-03-2002, 09:11 PM

Star Wars figures here. My favorite was Bobofet.

I rode a Green Machine and Lincoln Logs were also kewl.

Atari 5200 was my fave!

baddog · 10-03-2002, 09:41 PM

being the eldest of 12, and not very much money, I have to say my favorite toys were sticks and rocks (I could knock a kid off a bike from half a block away).

besides that, I liked playing with myself and whenever possible, the girl across the street

You had bottlecaps?

When I was small, all my brother and I had were pebbles in the garden out back and the occasional (now obsolete) pull tab from a pop can to play with.

Raya · 10-04-2002, 01:50 AM

I loved my red fire engine It had peddles and a bell made of mettle you sat in it and drove around. I had a big set of Lincoln Logs and I loved all the trucks and tractors. I was such a tomboy.

My mom and dad had this on going battle, for every truck he got me my mom got me a Barbie or something. Then one time she got me the big dolls head that you could cut the hair and then make it grow. I thought I could do it to the Barbie's they all had strange haircuts after one creative fit of madness. My mother was so mad I never got a doll again.

twinkley · 10-04-2002, 10:36 AM

Ahahahahahaha! No, Laurie, You would have lost that bet! I didn't have one! The neighbor kids who were of course really good friends did though! Man I loved that thing!! hehehe

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I know what Laurie's favorite toy is now .... hehehehe.....

POPPY!!!
