WhiteSteve · Answer

He-Man and G. I. Joe were my two big ones. I wasn’t as into the Transformers for some reason. In some senses, they were the coolest toy of the three, what with all the titular transforming they did, but I don’t know…other kids at school would bring them, I occasionally watched the cartoon (commercial) for them, but I never caught the bug. Probably just exceeded my bandwidth/my parents’ funds after He-Man and G. I. Joe interests were satisfied. Maybe I just found robots less relatable than humanoid characters, I don’t know.

But anyway, yeah, I had a lot of fun with those He-Man and G. I. Joe toys. I’d get them as gifts or a reward, I was able to beef up my collection at yard sales I’d happen upon, etc. And there were all the cool castles for He-Man, and military vehicles for G. I. Joe, beyond just the figurines. I still have most of that stuff in a trunk of my old toys down cellar. Every few years I dig through it and end up down there for hours just looking through all that stuff, old sports cards, all kinds of mementos I had kept, etc. Some people call it hoarding, lmao, but those people just don’t appreciate nostalgia😂

BARBIES
I Rarely got new ones. Usually handy downs from goodwill many naked and many times missing their hair. I always said to myself as a child my children will have new barbies! When I became a mom I couldn't wait til my daughter's 2nd birthday. I gave her a brand new Barbie. I took it out the box and excitedly waited for her reaction... I waited my whole life for this moment... She frawns turns her head sideways snatches the barbie by the hair and flings it over her shoulder. In a blink of an eye she reaches for a 50 cent ball some body else gave her and takes off gleefully never looking back at the doll. My daughter never played with barbies. She detested getting them as gifts. Oh well c'est la vie 🤣

Screamsgutter · Answer

Mego action figures for me. Any series, any theme... superheroes, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, Super-Knights... whatever. Eight inch figures with cloth clothing, had cool playsets, female figures [which are usually the most collectible/worth the most today] as well as Thor and Conan with 'real' hair... all held together by rubber bands.

Happy to say that a few companies are releasing figures (DC Superheroes, Star Trek) in Mego's image today and I admit I bought quite a few of these, which now that I've counted adds up to sixty figures, from original '70s manufacture to recent ones, including two custom figures (Dr. Doom and Dr. Druid - made by individuals/never offered by toy companies - some of these are amazing).

Dare I say they're all on display on shelves in my living room? Yeah, not/never married, but my ex thought they were cool too, bless her heart. My adorable two-year old niece will get them when I eventually bite the dust.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Would it be considered a toy to go in the backyard in the sand, and use a simple soup can to dig a huge hole like 3-5 feet deep? Did that a lot with my brother and sister.

If so, then a soup can was my favorite toy. I mean after we had the hole dug and built little houses around, castles or whatever, then I could stuff barbies and all into the little dirt houses. I kind of would dig holes in the side after we got down far enough and make little side places too.

I'm pretty sure some old things are still buried back there... and the best part is when we were all done we'd flood it with irrigation water.

We had a canal out back full of water all summer, so what could be fun too is building a cheap model navy ship, then using fireworks to simulate it being destroyed, catching fire, burning and sinking... in the water. In that case, fire would be my favorite toy and still is.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Barbies, Legos (medium size), Marble Sets, Board Games (Checkers, Life, Candyland, Twister), playdoh, Hotwheelz, Mr Potato Head, Pollypocket, and Little People. I would still play with any of those and have a closet full. I likely won't pull then out until i have kids of my own to introduce them to. I refuse to give up my fave toys and have had them since childhood

EmbraceThePain · Answer

Bionicles were pretty cool

I had several action figures of super heroes, villains, anti-heroes of comic books that I enjoyed playing with as well.

Trading card games like Pokémon and yugioh I also played quite religiously.

Bakugan.
Hot Wheelz

A bunch of stuff, I didn’t really have a favorite.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Legos.

Just let your imagination of crazy for them, I made some pretty cool things with them, from cars, guns and houses to WWE style weapons that I'd combine with action figures.

If I lived alone and had action figures, I'd probably still do that. 😂

omnivert · Answer

Thanks for asking this lovely question,
My answer is an RC car.
It's because I loved ff series and all cars so I managed to have a pocket money budget and purchased it by myself.

My parents were surprised by finding such patience in me.
So they took me to the carnival the next day!😂
Parents are awesome.

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

A bajillion hot wheels. I loved those as a Young Bloth and my parents did too because they weren’t at all expensive. I remember I also had a pterosaur figure (I think it was a Geosternbergia) with metal wire in the wings. It was very cool but smelt weird

Imaginext castles and pirates.
I’d build castles with dungeons, secret tunnels/rooms and have armies of knights/kings/wizards/monsters etc.
I’d have pirates on ships searching through caves for treasure with an erupting volcano.

That isn't lego in the picture! It some knock of brand. So clearly substandard quality. But lego was and still is my favorite toy. I really don't see game consoles as toys.
