What was everyones favourite toy as a kid?

[Buzz]

Mine was little plastic army men, I had a whole biscuit tin of the little bastards and use to place them around the room in different secret positions and then have a war with invisible bullets.

My other favourite has got to be good old marbles, another biscuit tin came in very handy also. The best marbles were those Oily ones, they seemed to be the ones that were most prone to being thieved.

I used to love and collect Sylvanian Families, Barbies, and some weird things called Keepers. Like a big LOSER my favourite pastime was dress up and play with mums make up. I used to put on her rather oversized wedding dress and play around when I was about 6/7.


ALWAYS wanted a Mr.Frosty, but my mum told me that santa doesn't bring cheap rubbish like that for Christmas.

Used to love Race & Chase...Classic slot racing with the ramp. I don't know about anyone else, but did anyone else find that the cop car didn't seem as quick as the corvette?

I just don't get this at all, Jonno says that this is his fave an all. They are just placky things that do nowt!

Mine was perhaps Matchbox cars, i loved inventing scenarios- turning underneath armchairs into garages that kind of thing. I also liked kites and outdoor shit.

Ooohhhh i had loads of toys that I loved ............one of my fave toy as a kid was a hobby horse than an old aunty bought for me - id ride around and pretend that it was a real horse (which i never got )

i used to nick my brothers eagle eyes action man off him as well as it was ace and he was a better boyfriend for barbie (had a cindy doll as well but for some reason all her hair fell off and she went bald! )

i had a castle greyskull which was AMAZING!! and i had a couple of transformers (optimus and bumblebee) cos they were great.

My dad also built for me a massive dolls house in the style of a tudor mansion and it was fabulous. I spent a long time decorating it and putting furniture in it........it peeed all over the barbie toy houses you can buy today, lol

I wasnt much into having lots of girlie toys as i prefered cars but i did like my barbie dolls and teddy bears

ALso had the usual table top games like Kerplunk, Downfall....... and who can forget Buckaroo and mousetrap!! lol

I also had action man eagle eyes with a parachute, it was brilliant lobbing him into the air and seeing him fall to earth in that bright orange shute, I then got a bit bored and then started to throw him up without the parachute, that went on for ages until he died
