Like early early early - maybe one of my first toddler toys. No clue where it ended up. They were so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2562080 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 06:38:40 +0000 delight 2562080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I will admit that we have also lost our bone somewhere along the way!! My DD loves wrinkles though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2562079 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 06:35:24 +0000 delight 2562079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: I remember all my old computer games for our Commodore 64 too. They were amazing! Is Montezuma's Revenge the one you were trying to remember? It was a little man underground collecting stuff. One of my favs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2562019 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 21:58:22 +0000 periwinklebee 2562019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: You can find lots of retro games online! i.e. Chip &amp; Dale seems to be here: <a href="http://www.8bbit.com/chip-n-dale-rescue-rangers" rel="nofollow">http://www.8bbit.com/chip-n-dale-rescue-rangers</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561995 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 20:49:15 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2561995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: I absolutely loved that tape recorder when I was a kid!!</p> <p>I loved my Popples and Pound Puppies. I had a lot of art stuff (like that spin-art and the Fashion Plates that you made rubbings with) and board games. I still have my Pretty Pretty Princess. But I'm sad that my kids will never know the joy of early computer games. We played a ton of weird little games that I don't remember the names for; one was a small man running around underground collecting gems, another was a Chip &amp; Dale adventure. I loved all those cheesy games! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561955 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 18:57:11 +0000 Alba4 2561955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my Fisher Price record player and tape recorder, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Lite Brite!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561920 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 17:01:37 +0000 LCTBQE 2561920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I had a Wrinkles!! jealous you still have yours :) I still remember being so upset when we lost the stuffed bone that was in her dress pocket in a move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561919 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 16:59:55 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2561919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I found a cute Polly Pocket set at an airport Duty Free store while we were on vacation last year. I didn't realize this version was an older edition and hard to find. It's not like the oldskool version, but the face is a lot nicer than the newest version! The clothes aren't painted on either (there's one that looks similar but with painted on clothes). </p> <p>It took a little searching, but I found another other set of the same version (different characters) from a vendor on Amazon. They're MagiClips compatible. </p> [attach=1448/16/o89p5i.300x377.Clipboard01.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561916 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 16:48:59 +0000 periwinklebee 2561916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: aw, that stinks that it was destroyed. It was really the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561915 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 16:44:16 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2561915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Rainbow Brite! Cabbage Patch, Puffalump. I'd love to find a Puffalump for DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561912 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 16:33:30 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2561912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I remember the he-man figures.

I did something similar with a friend when we were about 13!!</p> <p>@pachamama: Aww I so wish I still had mine!</p> <p>For some reason I never had an American Girl doll. But I totally believe the old ones were much better than the ones they sell now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561896 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 15:29:46 +0000 Miss Ariel 2561896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: I have all of my American girl dolls too! I hate how a lot of it isn't as good of quality now. Plus they got rid of pictures in the books, I guess to make them "cooler" for older girls? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561890 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 15:05:25 +0000 caterw 2561890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@periwinklebee: I had one of those Fisher Price recorders and kept it until (whispers) high school. My best friend and I actually used it to record a rap about American History to the tune of Baby Got Back, for which we got extra credit in 11th grade. I was super sad when it was destroyed in a car accident. Wish I could give it to my daughter :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561889 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 15:02:45 +0000 caterw 2561889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really obsessed with American Girl dolls and have always dreamt of handing them down to my daughter. Super glad I saved all my dolls/ clothes/ books because the new ones are NOT as awesome- they come with fewer books and the "Girl of the Year" storylines aren't as powerful as the historical dolls were. </p> <p>I am still going to take her to AG for tea for her birthday though... if only to fulfill my own childhood dream since I never got to go lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561886 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 14:53:36 +0000 pachamama 2561886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww I still have my kitty kitty kitten! That ball rolls around in her head and sounds like a puree , so funny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561862 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 13:40:49 +0000 wrkbrk 2561862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: me toooooo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561833 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 12:13:10 +0000 erinbaderin 2561833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I still have my Puffalump from when I was a kid - I slept with it every night for way way way too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561825 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 11:14:35 +0000 magnolia 2561825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big wheels!

He has almost all of the action figures. We still have Castle Greyskull in the basement - I think he's saving that for the big last hurrah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561798 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 10:10:36 +0000 fancyfunction 2561798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M has my old My Little Ponies, Strawberry Shortcake dolls and Cabbage Patch Kids. Can't believe how much they all changed! I want to get her an easy bake oven which I never had. I also loved Care Bears, fashion plates and shrinky dinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561788 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 09:10:12 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2561788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just remembered another one: hush puppies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561765 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 07:38:08 +0000 pastemoo 2561765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: my mom's friend bought my son the most gigantic bucket of tinker toys from the 70s (used), and he looooooves them. Too many modern toys are super breakable or dumb.</p> <p>My favorites were Lego and dolls my dad would bring back from business trips and craft sets, stuff that still exists. I lucked out I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561763 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 07:35:06 +0000 periwinklebee 2561763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite was the cassette tape player (maybe fisher price brand?) with a microphone that you could use for recording. I'm assuming that's not made anymore. :silly: I mostly played a ridiculous amount with barbies. </p> <p>When I was a kid my mom gave me all her old toys that she saved - I never really liked them, and a few literally disintegrated in my hands, lol.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561748 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 06:38:56 +0000 wrkbrk 2561748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot about trolls, pillow people, and puffalumps!</p> <p>We really did have the best era for toys. :) Everything now is meh. Im going to look up the remade popples! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561744 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 06:31:26 +0000 delight 2561744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just lamenting to my mom how I wish I still had my popples to give to my DD. I remember how happy I was the Christmas I got it. I do have a collection of trolls and my Wrinkles dog for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561708 Sat, 04 Jun 2016 00:26:02 +0000 808love 2561708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the Retro toys LO has are:<br /> 2XL<br /> Uno<br /> Etch a Sketch<br /> Cabbage Patch Doll<br /> We just bought a record player the other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-from-the-1980s-and-1990s#post-2561690 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 22:42:09 +0000 ALV91711 2561690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has an original popples.
