I used to love these things! Although I think they're more like late 80's.
Another long forgotten favorite 90's toy was Lady Lovely Locks.
What other toys did you love in the 90's?
-
@Shutterbug: I got a popple for Easter 1987 (great present)but I woke up with the stomach flu.(worst holiday ever!)
-
I never had a Popple, but wanted one...my parents were lame.
-
Tamagotchi! I killed mine like every day.
-
@dagret: haha I got a grape scented care bear one year for christmas when I had the stomach flu. I hid it in the back of my closet because I couldn't stand the smell!
-
@photojane: LOL! I wanted one of those sooo bad
-
I had couple of Popples and a Popples tent. I also wanted a Lady Lovely Locks!
-
Water babies
Polly pocket
Light brite
Those dogs that stomach was Velcro and had puppies inside ?!?
My little pony (was prob my fav)
Gak (ugh. My bro loved this ! I thought it stunk! ) -
I never heard of either of them!
@photojane: haha loved my tamagotchi!
-
Ooh, the Skip It.
-
@dagret: loved skip it and bop it !
-
@Shutterbug: I was about to say I was too old for toys in the 90s but just scrolled onto the dolls and realised with horror that I DID have one and was just frantically working out how I had a doll in my teenage years, ha. Thankfully Wilipedia says they were produced in the 80s! Thank god!
-
@coacheswife123: um, loved ALL of these. I was obsessed with that weird velcro pregnant dog thing. But now I'm wondering... why did that exist? Strange.
@dagret: I could never skip it. Too chubby. How sad. haha
-
@coacheswife123: haha we had all the same toys. I just spent far too long looking for this my little pony I had that was my favorite (side note - there are some creepy corners of the internet dedicated to MLP). It was this one, it came with a little girl doll too http://www.ponylandpress.com/us/sundancetaf.shtml
@travelgirl1: haha yeah, I say "90s" but I was born in 83, so most of my toys are really from like, late 80s/early 90s.
-
@photojane: seriously so weird looking back now ?? I had one though !
@Shutterbug: MLP was the best. I also had this really awesome MLP VHS movie that I watched a billion times. I'm scared to think of what weirdness is online - I can only imagine
-
I think these were late 90s. Was anyone obsessed with Ty beanie babies ??? I had a zillion. All with tag protectors. The Princess Di bear was the crown jewel of my collection and I just knew they were going to be worth so much one day. Hahahaha still waitin to cash in on that
-
@coacheswife123: I still have a giant tote of Beanie Babies. I don't know what to do with them now. Seems like a waste to throw them away but I don't know where to donate them...would kids want to play with them?
My favorite doll was a Magic Nursery Baby. It came with a dress or something you put in water and it would dissolve and tell you if it was a boy or girl and would give you a new outfit...very magical for a little kid! I found a funny blog post about them: http://childrenofthenineties.blogspot.com/2009/06/magic-nursery-dolls.html
I also loved Quints dolls and those fashion designer things where you put the plates together and then rubbed a crayon over it.
-
@JamieLee: I still have mine too! Oh I always wanted fashion plates but never got them. Anyone have one of these cupcake dolls ?
-
@coacheswife123: I used to love Gak! Then the same company came up with another product that was similar to Gak but made with foamy balls in it. I think it was called Floam ???
-
My sister got a popple for her 3rd birthday. I was 5 and she wouldn't let me touch it! I resent that to this day. I can remember it was yellow...
-
Did anyone have the game Mall Madness? I thought it was the coolest.
-
Oh my god my popples was my favourite Christmas present ever! So much nostalgia on the boards tonight. I love it! I had a pound puppy too that I loved and my little ponies.
I think those "pregnant" puppies were called puppy surprise.
-
@coacheswife123: I'm pretty sure I did. I think they smelled like whatever they were supposed to be.
@Mrs. Yoyo: I LOVED Mall Madness. In fact, I bought it when I was in college. We used to play it all the time. Then I gave it to my niece a few years ago. I also loved Dream Phone, Ask Zandar, and Party Mania, which had a VHS tape and was the coolest thing ever.
-
I had a popples pillow case that with a floppy popple head sticking out that played music. I'd totally forgotten that...
-
@coacheswife123: urgh, I think I have 400+ beanie babies and around 50 beanie buddies (the big ones). Maybe we'll give them away at all of LOs birthdays until she's like 12.. Haha.
-
I loved American Girls, pogs, tamagotchis, power wheels. This thread makes me miss being a kid!
-
I got a Sega Pico one year for Christmas and thought it was the best present ever! My family made a scavenger hunt for me to find it. I loved it!
-
@coacheswife123: omg, we loved all the same toys!! Ditto on beanie babies with tag protectors. I had princess di in a case too to keep her extra safe! I would love even the $7(ish) back per beanie baby, let alone their high dollar amounts! Could've paid for college or something!
How about Littlest Pet Shop? Anyone have those? Another one of my obsessions!
-
@Emsmems: yep I did !!!!
-
@dagret: yess....this was by far my favorite! Mine was blue (I think?) and my next door neighbor had the pink one and sometimes we'd exchange....so awesome!!
-
@LaineysMom: @coacheswife123 I've seen people make homemade wubbanubs out of them.
-
@Mrs. Yoyo: mall madness was awesome! "There is a...sale at...the jewelry store!"
What about troll dolls?
-
@shutterbug omg my dad always tells a story about how he came home from work and I was screaming "I want a popple!" And he just kept saying"what is a popple!?!?!?"
-
I had a huge Barbie bus and a "pillow person"
-
@dagret: haha I had so many trolls. And treasure trolls, the ones with the jewel belly button!
-
What about the old style Polly Pockets? The ones that were like little compacts, not the giant ones that wouldn't fit in a pocket these days.
-
I was just trying to explain to DH that he needed to fold the highchair cover in like a popple and he looked at me like I an alien.
-
I had a popple, and a lady lovely locks, but my real love was reserved for the Magic Nursery Dolls. Sometimes you would get lucky and get a "twin" and you'd be able to get a free doll! I remember my first doll ended up being a boy (named Andrew) and my mom felt so bad that I didn't get a girl we went right to the store and I got to pick out another one. This one was a girl who I named Kimberly.
-
@coacheswife123: those cupcake dolls were my favorite!
Also had Care Bears, poppies, strawberry shortcake and Polly pockets
-
Popples, pound puppies, and Care Bears ohhhh and strawberry shortcake!
