Nostalgia

Today a few co-workers and I started talking about old toys we played with as kids.  We went crazy on Google Images trying to find photos of some of our forgotten favorites.  Here are a few of mine!

Magic Nursery Dolls

You could get a baby

 

or a pet!

You would I think wet their hospital gown under warm water and it would unveil a plastic package with their clothes inside.  So clever.

The ORIGINAL Polly Pocket

(back when she was a legit chocking hazard)

 

 My awesome mom (have I mentioned that before) saved many of our favorite childhood items and over the recent years gave them to my brother and I to hang on to.  She saved ALL of my Polly Pockets (even though this photo isn't my collection, but it's similar).

My First Sony

I wore this tape player/recorder OUT.  I could sing along to tapes or record my own radio show - it was the best.  I have no idea where it is now, probably was thrown away some years ago.  Last I remember seeing it, the door was off :(

Puppy Surprise!

 Another amazingly awesome toy.  I had the black/white dog with three pups.

Playskool Dollhouse

This was my ALL TIME most played with toy I believe.  

When I got tired of using the plastic family, I moved in a plethora of plastic animal toys instead. 

Lil Miss Mermaid

She sang underwater, it was the neatest thing!  

I think they actually knocked off The Little Mermaid, because her 

song sounded just like Ariel.

The ORIGINAL Littlest Pet Shop

I had a bunch of these, but I actually still have all of the animals

included in this photo.

Tamagotchi

I now realize I got this toy only because it was popular.

My tamagotchi died all.the.time.

Skip it

I don't remember my highest skip count, but looking back

it kind of felt like a kid version of a ball and chain.

Talkboy

Wanted one because of Home Alone 2, but didn't want it bad enough.

Trolls

God these things were/are hideous.  Why were they such a hit?

Popples

I don't know if I actually had one of these when I was younger.  

But my baby blanket (which I still have) has Popples on it.  

I think Hardy's mom got me one for Christmas one year in like 2004?!  haha.

Toby Terrier

He was a lot similar to Teddy Ruxpin? 

Only he was a dog and you aimed him at the TV while playing

one of his VHS tapes.  He would respond by barking, growling and

wagging his tail.

Barbie Corvette

I totes magoats loved this car.

I even tried riding in it when I was too big for it, but it still served a purpose.

So tell me friends...did you have/play with any of these gems?

What were your favorite childhood toys?
