Favorite childhood toys...

[Auzzie-Phoenix]

We all have favorite toys from when we were growing up, what was your single most favorite toy that you owned during that time?

I grew up in the 80's and 90's, so there were LOTS of toys to pick and choose from, oddly enough I think my favorite toy would have been the popoids construction sets for the amusement factor. Sure I had transformers and tmnt figures.... still do. But popoids made the amusing noises when you were stretching and bending them, plus you could make all sorts of odd things with them.

Legos, nothing else even came close.

I was a kid in the 60's - favourite toy of all time was a Dinky James Bond Aston Martin - it was metal and had all the JB stuff - pop up shield, ejector seat, hidden guns that popped out... for a JB loving kid it was the only game in town.
Made even more special because, as they were the Christmas present of the year at that time, they were in short supply and my dad searched and queued in the middle of a Scottish subzero winter whilst suffering from the 'flu to make sure my brother and I had them - so it was even more special - cheers Dad!

Oh wow! I had one of those Dinky JB cars too. Had a great collection that my grandad sent to me from England to NZ.

70s kid here - man, it would be hard to pick, depends on exactly what age we're talking about. But I think the one that stands out would be... MICRONAUTS!

Micronauts were cool, I go browse ebay for them now and then... Legos, for sure. HOT WHEELS!! Tons of orange track AND the powered little things they go through to shoot em down the track. Jumps, loops...

When I was a kid in the late 60's and 70's my favorite toy, by far, was GI Joe. I still have a couple of them in my basement someplace. The talking ones never worked. That used to frustrate me to no end.

In the 70s- 80's sometime, I had the two "Chips" figures from the TV show and the star wars figures. Wish I had all those toys today!

I always loved (and still do lol) Tonka trucks and Hotwheels/Matchbox cars. I still have all my trucks and cars that hopefully my kid will enjoy for years to come when I finally decide to have children.

G.I. Joe action figures with the face fuz:


Then game BB guns and girls and well... I was forever ruined after that!!

LEGOs, plain wood building blocks, and pen and paper. I drew all the time. When I got a little bit older Tamiya WWII 1/35th scale military modeling became more my thing.

My son had some of these until one day he decided to take them in the bathtub. They were cleaner but never ran again. I always thought they were cool.
