What toys of this generation do you think will be 'iconic'?

Which toys that are out/been out in the last five or so years do you think will be the toys in future Mumsnet threads about how everyone had one? We see this all of the time with the Mr Frosty machine and other things like an Etch a Sketch, Easy Bake Oven, Cabbage Patch Dolls etc. You can still buy these things but it's not the same as it was the when they came out. What toys that your kids/nieces and nephews have do you think will be remembered like those previously mentioned? The only one that instantly springs to mind to me is Luvabella (and I feel bad because I never bought DD one when they were out Blush), any other ideas?

The Our Generation/Designafriend etc type dolls with all the accessories and outfits.

Barbie Dream house/campervan/whatever the latest is

LOL dolls (I'm one of the mean parents who refuse on environmental grounds but DD gets it as she's very 'environmental')

Lego is timeless still.

Not sure about boy focused toys, mine play with a range of stuff, but that's the toys that strike me as iconic.b

LOL dolls for sure. Horrible things!

Nerf guns

Hover boards (can you still get those in UK?)

Maybe the tut tut vehicles for toddlers.

Grimm's rainbow?

Loom bands

Nintendo Switch console / maybe certain computer games or apps - Minecraft, Fortnite, Pokemon Go.

But I think in general there is so much more on the market now it's harder to single out those "everyone has" toys.

I have never heard of Luvabella.

Interested in this thread?
