Well face it, we've all grown up (at least I'd hope^^) and we sure had great time playing with toys, didn't we? *sigh* sometimes I wonder where the imagination I once had that made toys come to life went :/

....so anyhow what were your favorite toys? (If you still collect figuines and stuff now they don't count Have to be littler!)

For a kid who lacked siblings, toys were great! Among my favorites though, were well, mostly dinosaur stuff (specially them official Jurassic Park ones. So cool and realistic!) and Ninja Turtles. Yeah I was a total tomboy when it came to stuff like that^^ Although I did like My Little Ponies, Care Bears, and Sailor Moon (yeah I did have a girly streak in me at the time^^). I dunno actions figures were pretty cool... and anyone remember the show "Super Hero Samurai Cyber Squad"? Well, I had toys of that too. (Now that I think about it, it might've been a dubbed sentai...) Power Rangers were cool but only had the pink ranger doll (only really liked the show cause it involved dinosaurs). Also had these bendable figurines of Gozilla and "friends" (ok so I was really into dinosaurs! ^^) Had a Street Shark action figure... and oh! Can't forget my stuffed animals! Soon came stuff like Puppy/Kitty/Pony in My Pockets. I LOVED those and kept them cause they're just so cute^^ ...wasn't until later on (age 11) till stuff like Pokemon came out that I was into, and so I'm like a year off to be a kid anymore^^

*cough* the advantages (and loneliness!) of being an only child :/ I could seriously go on cause I wuved my cool toys^^ But I'll give others a chance on here to post^^

My LEGOs. Heck yes.

Ooo yes lego were great too^^ I wasn't one of those kidsthat had to buy all the sets in a collection (although I had a friend that did it). Just made houses and stuff mostly :/

Transformers > You.

Barbies and Teenage mutant ninja turtles...yes I know...weird combo.

Oh yes, and blocks of any kind. Ohh, and playdo. And my little ponies.

Well, a whole bunch of the stuff you already listed (Power Rangers and all). Still like Transformers. =D

The only reason I don't but this kinda stuff now is cuz I'm more focused on games and manga/anime now. Darn my no-money-having-ness. :p

For me Matchbox cars and trucks and Hotwheels and everything that went with them.

Oh yes. Transformers too. My favorites were my old Soundwave and newer Transmetals Rattrap, which I lost at a Cracker Barrel.

My Little Pony Tales ponies! I loved those things! They were so cute, and they had beautiful hair that I could braid, and comb, and destroy with a pair of mommy's scissors.

I had a huge collection of Transformers, including Ultra Magnus. I even had all the Combaticons. I also had Castle Grayskull and even a few MASK toys. (anyone else remember this cartoon?) I'm also unashamed to admit that I had EVERY single Care Bear figurine. (I even remember as a child being sorely disappointed that Kenner never made a Secret Bear figurine.)

Transformers and Legos, yo. Nothing beats 'em.

I loved Transformers but for some reason my parents rarely bought any for me.

No, my toy of choice as a kid was definitely a combination of Playmobil and plastic soldiers. I would often, in fact, have entire stories involving the plastic soldiers invading the Playmobil kingdom. Army men made great bad guys since there were huge numbers of them. My little Playmobil kingdom was always vastly outnumbered. But they won in the end with their valour - especially that of King George the 21st, their ruler, and his trusted military leader/elite soldier Centurion Jackson. I don't know where I came up with the names, but it stuck. lol.

Sometimes the Legos would also be subject to attack by the plastic soldiers. In those cases, the Playmobil would usually come to save them, being the good allies that they were.

Naturally, things always went badly for the good guys at first, but they always won the day in the end.

I was HUGE on little Cars, Legos and Action Figures. (Transformers, Beast Wars, etc) And had a total obsession with the star wars Kenner action figures (I still have them) I also collected gundam figurines. I also loved stuffed animals (I still have all of mine ^^;; ) And also those little playsets. Where it opens up and its this little setting. Yeah I had some of them for like cars, starwars, and MIGHTY MAX! Who remembers Mighty Max?

I have fond memories of me and one of my friends constructing things out of Legos that could withstand the blow of a sledge hammer (I'm not kidding, we actually did this, and we were quite succesful too). Besides that, I used to also play with plastic swords with my friend... which led to many sore fingers.

You horrible person! Destroying their lucious plasic hair.. er- manes! My ponies got their hair styled in the weridest ways! I had one of those mini ones and had this little dollhouse this and stuck it under the doorbell, bell and somehow it styled its hair that way @_@....

I didn't MEAN to destroy their hair. I thought I was giving them a better hair style, but. . . somehow it never worked out that way.

Surprising enough, I was probably one of those rare girls that never actually tried to cut even my dolls hair! I played with my dolls werid even when I did (which was rarely). Mostly it involved them talking with all my other toys/stuffed animals about who betrayed them and will be exiled out of the society and stuff like that :/ (Yes, that was the type of storyine I as a 6 year old would do... even have a pic of that scene which is why I remember it so well :/)

I was a Barbie lover. Second to that were the standard legos and blocks.

Oh and there was the momentary Giga Pet/Tamagotchi fad...I killed both of those things so bad.

When I was little, I had a female friend who was into My Little Ponies. When we played together, she liked to play as one while I would take on an appropriately masculine role. Ah, how many times the My Little Ponies were saved by Han Solo or Indiana Jones

Teacher took mine away in gr. 5 (before they developed the technology to make the new ones with the "no sound" option) and I was worried cause I heard it beep in her desk and it was like dying cause it went to the bathroom and I didn't clean it so it got poisoned :/ Great toy though for the orginal perpose: Japanese kids who couldn't keep pets at their homes, so could assume the role of responsibility.

Ah that's great!

When I was little, I had this teddy bear that I would carry around with me always. My day took videos of me dancing with it in front of the TV to Barney and such when I was a little kid. I named tthe bear BooBoo and whenever I got sad, I'd cuddle with it. I still have that bear, and even though I chewed off half of the hair on it's head, I still have my cuddle times. ^-^

HAHAH ST!!! It figures you liked Army men...

*images a MLP holding a light saber* AHAHA (in it's mouth)
CUTE BUT DEADLY!


ahh I loved MLP too, my sis and I recieved the My little pony house (not the castle, the house) and a stage! we also got cute little bunnies from the show...

I loved Beanie Babies later in my gradeschool years. And I also had a cheap Gigapet..it wasn't a gigapet it was an offbrand with 8 mini pets! But soon my school banned them when they became a problem, and when I couldn't take it to school anymore, I lost interest when I found the lil ghost over the graveyard.

Then, there was those creepy furbies, how my grandparents suffered to get them for us for christmas...after a while, though, they began to scare me and my lil grey and white furby wound up in a box with other toys.

I also LOVED this one particular stuffed racoon. She was green and I got her from a vending machine when I was like four. I caled her rosie, and her greenness gaver her a superability to fly! I would use her tail to flap her around...

I also had this blue stuffed Griffin...she was cool...

umm letsee...I will think of more later! ^_^

Furbies...*shudder* Those still scare me...

Have you seen those wierd looking Furbies that look like they got run over by a car? They call em Shellbies, but I still think they are a menace to society.

No, but I remember another copycat called "Chinchillas". Well, now Furbies are back of course in their new look, design, and technology (with Furby Babies out too!) Me and my friend pressed the "try me!" button on a couple in the toy section of Zellers last week. They went at the same time "you, friend?" and we both went "NO!!" at the same time and they both made a fart sound... at the same time. :/ Quite amusing.

I spent most of my childhood in a state of mute limbo.

I played with soap.

LOL soap!!!

Ahh let's teach our kids more vulgar habits!

I loved all kinds of toys, but I think my favorites were my G.I. Joe action figures. My Star Wars action figures come very close...

For myself ..
1. LEGO
2. Transformers
3. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
4. G. I. Joe
5. M.A.S.K.

I knew this girl who had heaps of robot action figures ... almost all the figures of those Japanese mech. cartoons. Man, I was so jealous.

LOL, I am so owned. HAHAH.

I was a sad little reclusive only child. I spent most of time on a Gameboy Pocket or with Lego. Lego was the ultimate though, although it usually involved me trying to build a perfectly accurate model of house, giving up half way through and starting over a week later.

When I got to about 8 I really found a knac for Action Man (British Rip-off) of GI Joe. I never really liked the whole bad guy, Doctor X. I usually set up a senario that involved him climbing a mountain for no apparent reason or running from a deranged polar bear. Or even saving this Pink Power Ranger Doll I had from somewhere.

I also have Robert, a teddy I've had since I was 5 days old.
