you could have kept from your toys back in the 80's?
There were so many awesome toys, some that are still made today! But what was your favorite?

Mine, if you couldn't tell by my avi, was Rainbow Brite! Oh how I loved it1 I had dolls, the horse, even bed sheets! haha!

Without a doubt, my brothers stretch armstrong doll.

In the 80's I was raising 3 boys, and as much as I don't won't to admit it, they did NOT have fun things, LOL

I had the original Malibu Barbies!! Barbie & Ken & Skipper!!! & when I moved out in the 80's my Mom sold them in a garage sale!!!:x

I wish I'd kept my Mrs. Beasley doll, she may have been 70's . . .

Geez, I graduated high school in 81, so I wasn't really playing with toys anymore. I was chasing boys! HEHEHEHEHEHE

probably my barbies. I mean, who wouldn't want a malibu barbie again!

Well, not a toy since I was in my 30's, but I'd like a day of my sons back in 1984 - 1986. I miss those days.

I wish I still had my Barbie doll collection - we also had my mom's original dolls ! Lost them all to a fire when I was in highschool.

Its so cute to think back about what you had.. like the bed sheets, etc. I was 4 when the 80's ended.. but I remember Teddy Ruxpin, which I posted in another post.... just the simple nature of a stuffed animal that played songs and talked was so comforting at the time. May be creepy but he brought me so much comfort and wish I still had it so if I have kids, they could enjoy it too

I use to love playing my Quiz Whiz

hmmm, since I kept most of my good toys, the only thing I wish I still has was my Battleship game. My 9yo ds loves to play and the new games are cheaply made

Teddy Ruxpin

Well, pretty much anything I loved, I have been able to buy again for my dd! She has a Cabbage Patch doll, Care Bears, Legos, Strawberry Shortcake and TONS of My Little Ponies!

Did you know they are actually in the process of making a Stretch Armstrong movie??!!
I know this cuz my fav Twilight Werewolf is playing the part (Taylor Lautner).

I loved my collection of Cabbage Patch Dolls!

I still have some of mine!! LOL. So does DH. We have a Teddy Ruxpin (working), a Sesame Street record player, a red casio keyboard, the orginal transformers, an original slinky, plus too many more to name!

for me it was Barbie I had a friend who had tha house, I had the pool and a car, my cousin had an RV, we had a blast when we got together!
