Fave toys from the 80's and 90's?

[Etatauri]

What toys/games do you remember playing with the in 80's and 90's that you loved?

My top 5 were:

• fantastic flowers
• fashion wheel
• cupcake dolls
• sky dancers
• a popple

Then probably barbies, and later lego/k'nex, but these don't stand out in my heart as much as the ones above!

What do you remember playing with?

I loved my Glow Worm and also had a few Care Bears.

also loved my Playmobil

i had a cabbage patch doll but I loved and collected those Garbage Pail stickers!

Cabbage Patch dolls

My Little Pony (I had a yellow one which was ice cream scented if I remember correctly)

The 1994 Post Office toy, played with that for hours. My trusty pink Pound Puppy van with 8 mini figures. Christmas Barbie 1998. Ariel doll with mermaid tail circa 1996. Original Furby (still have him).

I loved my post office-selling car tax discs

I still have my Popple, Sweet Secret dolls that folded up into a jewel, my Keyper snail and Pound Puppy in kennel/box.

I always wanted a Boglin but never got one. Sad times. 😂

The get along gang! I’d forgotten those. I had Zipper the cat.

Ah good times down memory lane!

My Pet Monster, with the orange handcuffs. Looked a while ago and they are a fortune in eBay.
WereBears.
Boglins.
Trolls.

I collected 2" high Ari rubber dolls. I was aiming for 60, but the shop stopped selling them when I had around 48.
They were all given a birthday, name, family members and I made them two outfits-one a sort of uniform and the other their own individual one.

Does anyone remember the Fabuland Lego? The Animal Crossing lego now reminds me of it.

A flexible 'snake' made up of black and white pyramidal bricks, that could be twisted and turned into all sorts of creations. No idea of it's brand name.

@RudolphTheReindeer I wouldn't have remembered it, but recently went to the Legohouse in Denmark where they have an entire floor dedicated to past lego and oh the nostalgia! It was so lovely seeing toys that I used to have as a child again.

@Mydahliasareshit like this? DS(7) has a blue and white one now!

Operation
My little Pony

HATED that Rubik’s cube which was actually a flat rectangle divided into square connected by clear plastic wire. Always broke, impossible to solve. Grrr.

The things that stick in my memory are:

Speak n Spell
Keepers (“keepers, keepers, what’s inside those keepers?” !!)
Glow worm
One of those pop up treehouse things with people inside
Fashion wheel

My absolute favourite thing though was stationery, like coloured notepaper with envelopes and scented erasers and those transfers you would rub onto paper with a stick. I was obsessed with stuff like that and spent all my pocket money in the local stationery shop.

And Bunty magazine was another obsession!

i'd forgotten the treehouse!!!

I had garbage pail stickers and stuck them all over my bed - and my mum scraped most of them off again as she said they were too disgusting! I remember the one she took particular offence to was Kinky Dickie - I had no idea why at the time 🤣🤣🤣
