Favourite toys as a kid?

[Britishvixen21]

We are at the inlaws this weekend to cool off and breathe some fresh air away from the smog. We stay in HB old room and he still has old toys down there. we found his old Lego last night, and had great fun building a house and car LOL ( hey its good to be a kid again albeit for an hour) and we sat talking about all the toys we had as a kid. and wondered what you guys played with.

I remember having Barbie EVERYTHING and i mean everything. I had the house, the camper, the porche, the swimming pool, all the furniture, every barbie going (even the pregnant one, anyone remember that?) and my bedroom was all barbie, wallpaper, bed spread, pink dressers. (yes i was pretty spoilt!)

and I remember my little pony and care bears and last but not least cabbage patch kids, I had five of those little suckers even an african american one.

What was your fav toy as a kid.

Rainbow Brite Dolls, Etch-e-Sketch, Jump Ropes, and my gymnastic mats

You're a true '80s child if..........
Snap bracelets were always getting you in trouble at school.

You played with "My Little Ponies."

Friendship bracelets were ties that couldn't be broken.

You ever read Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, The Babysitters Club, or Sweet
Valley High

You know all the words to "Ice Ice Baby."

You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.

You wanted to be on Jim'll Fix It

You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before he had plastic
surgery.

You wore a banana clip or one of those slap-on wrist bands at Some
point...or heaven forbid one of those T-shirt rings on one side during your
youth.

You wore multiple pairs of socks in the middle of the summer just so you could
be "hip."

You had slouch socks and puff painted your own shirt at least once.

You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off."

You were upset when She-ra, Princess of Power, and He-Man got cancelled.

You can remember watching Full House and Saved by the Bell for endless
hours, back when they were new episodes.

You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.

You know someone who appeared on Wac-a-day.

You know where to go if you "wanna go where everybody knows your name."

You wanted to be a Goonie.

You remember Madonna in her cone stage.

You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince."

You even wore flourescent-neon clothing...

You could breakdance, or wished you could.

You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game System.

You remeber M.C. Hammer.

You can still sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air....

You remember when it was Jazzy Jeff and the FreshPrince and NOT Will Smith!

You own any cassettes.

You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunchbox.

You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf

My Little Pony, Gummy Bears and Transformers are familiar to you.

You ever had a Swatch Watch.

You wore a plastic tennis viser all summer.

You had Wonder Woman or Superman undies.

You believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.

You spent hours building Lego toys

Big wheels and BMX's were the way to go.

With your pink (or blue) portable tape player, you sang back Up to Kylie and
Jason!

"Party like it's 1999" seemed SO far away!!

You wore acid washed jeans

Sported at least one tye dyed shirt

Jean cutoffs, or cut sweathsirts seemed -really-cool

Scooters were in

If you ever made Ken fall in love with Barbie

If you can identify with at least half of these, you are a true Child of the 80's!!

My little ponies are all the rage again,

and my kids ages four and seven are right into power rangers and transformers.

My favorite things I remember when I was a kid in the 70's the same era as the show.

Was my tether ball pole, and my pogo stick, my bike with the banana seat and the big handle bars.

I also spend my saturday nights at Bumpers a teen disco and danced the night away to Rah Rah rasputin.

Also slime in a can and mad magazine.

I loved my Slinky. I grew up with very few toys, I always had clay and paints of different kinds so I made my own toys. I never had a doll of any sorts, Barbie dolls and all others were foreign to me. This really became a problem when my daughter came of age to have them, I could not relate at all. I made my own fun as a kid, I was free, outdoorsy type with no toys.
I did have fishing rods and tackle, tanks, regulator, mask, flippers, speargun and and endless credit line at the bait store next door when I was a kid.
To this day I always have my gear packed & ready to go, I salvaged all of it after the accident....to hell with the rest.

It must be in my genes...

OMG safyre i am so a child of the eighties, my hb and i downloaded some episodes of Fraggle rock to see if it was as cool as we remembered and it was! we even downloaded the theme song and could sing along LMFAO!!

Does anyone remember the ball with the plastic ring around it, and you had to step on it and jump, a little like the pogo stick, I would go for miles on that thing.

My mum banned slime in a can, on account of me and my brother seeing who could get it stick better to the couch

[Joey.E.CockersMommy]

sillyputty I slept with it once and it got all stuck in my hair, my mom cut it out and I had a big balled spot for weeks until it grew back!
