Favorite Childhood Toys

A few of mine...

* Evel Kenievel Stunt Cycle
* Whirlybird Helicopter
* Johnny Bench Batter Up
* Bug Zoo

List a few things you liked as a kid. Or maybe tell me what you wish you had, but didn't get...and how it messed you up for life.

If you can't think of anything, or if your Dad was maybe an alcoholic, then feel free to just say hello.

One thing I remember from my childhood was the importance of having a good stick. There would be fierce competition over the best sticks, and often they would be confiscated, but if you had one it was like being a god amongst mere mortals!!

i thought my stylophone was great
a doll who i named Sarah and a pram to put her in.
I was deprived of a Sindy doll and the millions of accessories that went with her.

I don't remember having many toys but as kids we played out all the time anyway (kick the can, edgy, pins and needles, ticky it are some of the games i remember)

Definitely my WWF wrestling dolls. Being rubber, they could handle so much abuse. We used to whip them off buildings, mutilate them, etc. Good times.

Lol! I can definitely concur with this one. I was raised in a variety store so I had all types of good stuff at my finger tips. 🙂

Did anyone else have a toy called Horrible Hamilton?? It was a spider looking monster. When you pulled a string similar to a talking dolls string, he walked.

Bet you wish you had kept them. Highly collectable nowadays.

I wasn't big into toys but I did love my Barbie. She was a lawyer with a penthouse. 😀
