What was your favourite toy as a child?

[Shadowy Lady]

Mine was also Barbie. I didn't cut their hair but I did make clothes for them. At the beining my mom would help me but then I learned and got creative with sewing. I always loved fashion, haha!

I also was a big fan of stuffed animals of all kind. My faves were my stuffed orange dog with red eyes (lol) and my beige teddy bear with one eye

Omigod I love this thread! I remember when I was little I had one of those little red fred flinstone-ish cars with the yellow top. I would cruise in that bad boy! In fact now that I think about it... I think I got my first speeding ticket in that car!

My favorites were probably my Rainbow Brite dolls, and my Barbie travel agency and soda shop. Those were the days

^Ahhh I had a Rainbow Bright doll too!! And a Strawberry Shortcake big wheel bike. Anyone remember those? It was pink and smelled like Strawberries

I just remembered my most favorite favorite out of all of my toys.. My rollerskates! I had those metal ones you attached to your shoes and I would even go up and down the stairs on them. I was like Tuti from Facts of Life.

Sticks and mud? Hahah, my neighbourhood friends (I was the only girl) and I loved to play outside with anything in the woods.

I was never into dolls or Barbies, although I did have a Skydancer that I liked. I liked stuffed animals, Beanie Babies, Pokemon Cards, my Gameboy and NES, Beasties action figures..

On another note, I HATED Furbies, and refused to own one. My neighbour had one, and I swear it talked when we took out its batteries one day. Creepy thing.

Speaking of Barbie, most of mine became mangled because I always wanted to "improve" them - by cutting and styling their hair. I also loved those Barbie "heads" that you could apply makeup to and do their hair. I guess I knew from a very young age that I loved all things beauty. I also loved Garfield - the comic strips and books. I had a stuffed plush Garfield that I loved.

Oh, I had them, too!! And I remember I got a new one by my father as the German wall fell in Berlin in 1989.....He said I had a wish for free and I wanted such a pony
