What was your favorite toy when you were a child? (Under 13)

The answers (in order recieved):

  • My favorite toy would most likely be those spacecraft Lego blocks. You could build up all sorts of neat moon bases and rockets and spaceships and then pit them against each other in a massive death battle! And you could pop off the heads of those little smiling Lego guys!

  • Dagobah Action Playset !!! God, did I collect a lot of Star Wars stuff! GI Joes too.

  • Transformers all the way baby. They could do stuff, move etc, where as stupid teenage mutant ninja turtles just stand there..

  • I can't remember what my favorite was when I was a kid 'cause I had SO many GI Joes and Transformers and stuff but I do remember having much fondness for my Knight Rider car, action figure of David Hasslehoff in '80s gear included.

  • my collection of........ T R A N S F O R M E R S

  • My Plastic Man doll... Size of real doll, stretched for about three to four feet. 'Til my bleep parents sold it at a garage sale.

  • I liked legos.

  • I think it would probably be my Luke Skywalker in "Bespin Fatigues," which I got for Christmas. You know the outfit he was wearing when he founght Darth Vader for the first time in Cloud City? He was so cool! He came with a yellow lightsaber, a laser pistol that looked just like Han Solo's, and he was so cool! I used to make-believe that my Fisher-Price figures were other Star Wars Characters and have Mr. Hooper/Obi-Wan Kenobi showing Luke how to use the force.

  • legos

  • books

  • legos, matchbox cars, playmobil figures, transformers

  • My little suffed tiger. Me and ED, (one of my friends throughout grade school) had matching tigers. We took them everywhere.

  • A empty refrigerator box. it was great I could hide in it all day.

  • MY umm.. Apple IIgs :> what a waste of time childhood was :)

  • Duh... I can't remember back that far, honestly. I deliberately don't remember much of my childhood. My mother tells me that my favorite toy was a stuffed cat that, in her words, eventually "got hugged out of existance." I suspect it was my only friend. I didn't enjoy my childhood very much.

  • I don't know that I had a favorite toy, but the one I remember the most about was an Easy Bake Oven. It explains my odd urges to bake once in a while.

  • Mr. Doodle!!

  • My Commodore 64 computer. It was basically a game machine, but I had hours of fun with it. I still have it, too, and it's fun to fire it up every once in a while.

  • pre-puberty: Lincoln-logs, used as catapults post-puberty: Barbie, using Ken as her sex slave

  • These little dolls my mom and grandma made to teach me about not being prejudiced. I had a white, black, and chinese one

  • My barbie doll house of course...what else would a true blood american white girl say. Well that or my friends barbie house..herswas bigger...

  • I guess my favorite toys were Legos, but it was a hard decision between them and GI Joe's and Transformers, all of which seemed to occupied my time growing up.

  • Hmmm...I don't have 1 favorite, but I enjoyed: my dollhouse & entire doll family, my enormous troupe of Cabbage Patch Kids, my She-Ra and her fellow woman warrior Onyx, my Jem doll (with flashing earrings and reversible clothes so she can revert to being Jerrica!), my My Little Pony's, my Care Bears, and my Rainbow Brite dolls. Was never much impressed by Barbie, Ken and co., although I recall liking Ice Skater Barbie's nifty outfit. And I never was into violent toys.

  • My favorite toy as a child...Etch-A-Sketch and my brother's GI Joe.

  • lincoln logs. i'm not sure why we always got lincoln logs instead of legos (which i liked a lot but never actually owned) but the lincoln logs were fun. did you know that it's a lot easier to destroy a lincoln log house with a radio controlled car than a lego house? i think that's why i liked them... they were much more destructive.

  • Air Blaster. Twas a gun which shot a burst of air out of it, kinda powerfully, too. When my brother first got contacts, I shot him with Air Blaster in the eyes and they shrivelled and fell out. Then my mom took it away.

  • Either matchbox/hotwheels cars or slot-cars. I particularly remember setting up a long track with my brother for the matchbox/hotwheels cars, sort of like a huge suspension bridge. We would each select a car from our collections and release them from opposite ends of the bridge. The goal, of course, was to vanquish the opponent (knock his car from the track, while somehow maintaining a lofty perch upon the track for one's own vehicle. Those Formula One racers were ideal for this. (although you could get some excellent collisions out of fire-trucks and ambulances).

    My answer:

    My Star Wars toys. Which was a compalation of Star Wars action figures, wooden blocks which made the background, McDonald's cherry pie boxs which were the space ships, and whatever else I had laying around my room. I wonder whatever happened to my imagination...
