Glo worms, my little pony, popples

If you were a child in the 80’s what were you favourite toys?

Which you are you still bitter about never receiving? I think Mr Frosty is the toy most adults are bitter about not getting 😂

I desperately wanted a glo worm and a Mr Frosty and never received either!

I had a my little pony with hair that grew. That was great.

never got a mr frosty or a cabbage patch doll though. Still not quite over it.

@Nitflux Clark's Magic Steps had the key

@Nitflux and I'm sure the ones with the game in the sole were called Tick Tock or something like that.

This! Was just going to post about these! All mixed up in my head with the film Labyrinth!

Had (and loved) Pretty Cut & Grow doll (could cut hair and then pull out more from a hole in her head), Party Time Sindy (came with record). Really wanted Girls World head but got Girls World Fashion Designer instead - very disappointed at 6 but got a lot of enjoyment out of it when I was a bit older.

Has anyone said keepers yet? I had the snail one, think it was called shelly. Loved my glowworm. Was it puffalumps that were really flammable and some were recalled??

Snugglebums, My Little Ponies and Trolls. All still being loved by dgc.
I also have Puffalumps but they are still packed away.

And how could I forget Fashion Wheel! I'm keep seeing videos on Instagram of people using it and I'm getting the same jealousy I felt over the Sylvanian families when I was 9!

I had a Fashion Wheel!!
Speak and Spell and Little Professor - loved them!

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 04/06/2022 01:29

My sister still has her Gloworm!

Nitflux · 04/06/2022 05:34

@mrsfoof that was it! Thanks. Clarks was clearly the place to be back in the 80s / 90s 😀

Not sure if this has been said already but a Girls World...massive freaky plastic head that you could apply make up too and style it's hair.

Sunnysidegold · 04/06/2022 08:21

I had a keyper - a snail iirc, I had a few my little ponies and a ton of Barbie and sindy dolls.

A girl I went to school with stole one of my Barbie dolls and cut her hair in front of me when I was at her house next time. I knew she was mine as I had given her a face tattoo (not sure why) with a red pen. When mum picked me up I told her and she didnt want to make a fuss so didn't stick up for me. I was so cross at that!

I always wanted a big yellow teapot - my cousin had one and would sometimes let me take it home with me for a few days.

I had black suede roller boots with red wheels and a red stopper at the front! Loved those roller boots 😀

I had white leather roller boots that looked like they'd been splashed with coral and black paint, and I had a matching shell suit!!

KateMcCallister · 04/06/2022 09:38

I desperately wanted an a la carte kitchen! Never got one, I'm still bitter.

Never got a Mr Frosty either so I got the kids one a few years ago and it was shite. Complete waste of money.

Keypers, if no one has mentioned those yet!

DinosaurOfFire · 04/06/2022 09:49

I loved my snail 'keypur' @Gliblet ! I also loved Polly Pockets and my Monchichi, as well as GloWorms and My Litle Pony. I always wanted a carebear, but I don't think I ever told an adult so I never had one as a result!

onlymyselftoanswerto1 · 04/06/2022 11:08

I loved Woolma Lamb from the get along gang, I really wanted a lights alive and a mr frosty but never got them cos my mum thought they were rubbish!
