Mine were the Pound Purries and Puppies, Barbies, and the Simon game.

My favorites were the original PollyPockets, Play Doh (does that count?), and Strawberry Shortcake dolls.
-
1.) my cabbage patch kid (her name was Carla Lillian and I thought that was so cool!)
2.) my American Girl doll (I barely played with it, but that's because I didn't want to mess her up. It was a gift from my grandfather and back then we didn't have much money so it was a really big deal to get such an expensive gift)
3.) my life-size wooden playhouse in our backyard (my cousin built it for me. It was just four walls and a roof with a front door and small window in front. it was pink with white trim!)
-
@tana_bk: omg loved Polly Pockets! Almost forgot about them!
-
1) My Cabbage Patch doll (her name is Alberta Maybelle. My uncle bought her for me for my very first Christmas and then passed away in an accident the following month. I still have her.)
2) Barbies. I think I played with them until I was like 12. lol
3) Dress-up clothes. I had a huge trunk full of old prom dresses and stuff my mom had gotten me. I was always running around wearing something weird.
-
i didn't have any toys growing up, but my buddy/kid sister, pound puppies, my little pony, popples, and the sylvanian family theme songs stand out!
-
at one point i had a little walking/barking battery-operated dog named danny that i loved to pieces.
i always wanted pound puppies, so my parents just bought me a bunch of fake/defective ones sold on the street in korea. i was appeased.
-
@Mrs. Bee: yes, popples!
-
The best was my Cabbage Patch Kid. They were not easy to come by and they were (to us) expensive! My parents got it for me one year and hid it so it was the last gift I opened. It was a spectacular Christmas.
My brother and I used to race our pound puppies down our stairs (they were wood) in our house, so that's up there, too.
I also remember my My Little Ponies. They were a toy I used over and over and over again. -
I begged and begged for a Cabbage Patch Kid and FINALLY got one. I promptly left her at church the following Sunday and when we frantically drove back to find her, she was nowhere to be found. I was devestated because 1)Even at the age of 5, I knew how expensive and valuable she was and I knew I would never get another one and 2) I knew my parents tried really hard not to scream at me. I cried in private for days and days. I couldn't show my parents how sad I was because it was my own fault. I'm sad just thinking about it now!
And I had two Popples - a big orange one and small green one. I loved them!
-
I loved the british show The Raggy Dolls and my favorite toy was a raggy doll.
I also loved my little pony and I secretly wanted a polly pocket but never asked for it so I never got it -
1.) Teddy Ruxpin - I loved this thing until it took a tumble down the stairs and broke!
2.) Easy Bake Oven - I totally loved cooking in my own oven...I actually think I still have this in the attic at my parents.
3.) Would be a tie between my cabbage patch doll and my barbies - I loved both of these so much. My aunt actually got into a fight (we are not a fighting family) getting me a cabbage patch doll because people were so crazed about them when they came out! I don't think I would ever get in a fight for a toy no matter how much my kiddo wanted it. -
I was obsessed with Barbies!!
I also had these amazing paper dolls from Taiwan with literally hundreds of outfits and accessories!
I also liked legos, haha.
-
@L2sweetpea: omg teddy ruxpin! i still remember all the theme songs for these toys. "oh teddy ruxpin is my friend and grubby's my pal too... that's me!"
-
I had a cabbage patch doll that my grandma made for me, still have her. Also, I loved books, had them all over the house and read all of the time. We didn't have a lot of money when I grew up, so we didn't have gobs of toys, but that was okay.
-
Lots of 80s kids here, lol! I had My Little Pony(s), and a Cabbage Patch doll, but I was pretty 'meh' about them both.
My next 3 would probably be the Speak 'N' Spell, Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake. -
Oooo I loved Rainbow Brite, and had a Strawberry Shortcake canopy bed. Anyone remember Popples and pogoballs?
-
I had a Wuzzles tent I LOVED, like my own little fort.
My puppy Surprise.
Toss up between Troll dolls and my Skip it hahaha -
PAPER DOLLS. Easy bake oven. Brite lite? Those peg things that you plug into a black board and lit up to make pretty pictures?
I never had an easy bake oven nor a brite lite, but my best friend did. AND PAPER DOLLS. OMG I LOVED THEM TO PIECES. Moreso than barbies. Not sure why, I was an obscure child. LOL
-
I loved my Etch-a-Sketch, any type of art supplies and my Pound Puppy!
-
My Little Ponies and my Breyer Horses (still have all of them!)
Loved playing with my Barbies too.
I had a Cabbage Patch doll but I don't remember her name, she has yellow overalls and red hair. She's at my Mom's somewhere.
I also loved a board game called Uncle Wiggily -
1) My cabbage patch doll, her name was Nancy (can't remember the middle name) and she was in the majority of my pictures for a couple years.
2) Easy Bake Oven - used it all the time!
3) Rainbow Bright doll - LOVED her. -
let's see... if my memory goes back that far. i used to love legos. i loved (my brother's) toys - transformers and he-man.
-
1) barbies
2) Barbie styling head ( giant Barbie head that you can do her hair and makeup on)
3) coloring books and my 64 box of crayolas -
My Little Pony (I still have all of them... and my flower girl and I played with them during our rehearsal dinner. LOVED that.) Littlest Pet Shop. Stuff we made ourselves (comics, "houses" made out of cloth, sunflower fort - as in we planted sunflowers to grow into a room)? Barbies only came into play as MLP villains.
-
