Growing up I loved:

Barbie
Cabbage Patch Kids
Poochie Dog
Lincoln Logs
Tinker Toys
Fashion Plates
Board Games (Monopoly, Life, Clue, Scrabble)
Office Suppplies (lol) - I use to love to play "office" and "cashier".




Fashion Plates!! I got them for all my nieces so I could still play with them.

Dolls! I had SO MANY! My favorites were from Ashton-Drake, they were expensive but realistic looking. I also loved my Baby Feels So Real doll and Baby Shivers. And all my doll accessories: clothes, bottles, bibs, cradle, swing, stroller, diaper bag, etc. I had it all!

I was really into Beanie Babies too. I had a huge collection.

A PP mentioned Color Forms and that took me back. I totally forgot about them but I loved those as a kid!

Troll Dolls
Puppy Surprise
Pillow Pals
Lisa Frank Sticker Books (not really a toy but worth mentioning)



I forgot about Troll dolls! We collected them like our lives depended on it!

And Little Mister Men and Miss books. It was always a special day when me, my cousin, and my grandma would walk to the bookstore and she'd buy us a book.

Probably my Popples. Loved those stupid things. I insisted on sleeping with them but the heads were hard and I would always wack myself in the middle of the night!

Some others:

-Travel Agent Barbie
-My Walkman (I only had 1 tape which was free from my mom's Newports with a lot of 80s hits-Eddie Money, etc.). I listened to this tape a billion times. Eventually, I got a 2nd tape-Paula Abdul which I listened to so much the damn tape brokeChat Icon)
-talking Alf doll (loved this thing). My mom said it creeped her out.

I know there are more, but these came off the top of my head.

Re: What was your favorite toy growing up?

Oh my goodness this post is bringing on so much nostalgia for me.

I loved electronic games because back then it was so new, unlike today. I loved Atari, Simon, Merlin. I also loved board games like Clue. Lite Brite and shrink drinks were awesome too.

Barbies!!!
I didn't have a dream house but I used to use shoe boxes, and things around the house to create their "homes." My mom would get home from work and my bedroom floor had a whole home mapped across my floor.
