Feeling nostalgic today.

I had a Woody that I used to play with all the time.

 

[Fata Morgana]

I mainly read. Wasn't into dolls at all (sorry Johnny) but I had a Starsky & Hutch car I was very fond of. Got one now on my dressing table!

Oh I had fuzzy felts. And a dog on wheels which I shaved one summer.

[Killswitch]

Erector set
Chemistry set
Operation.


Which is funny because I can't get a good erector anymore, probably because of the Chemistry I've done and will need operations later in life to fix it all.

[Star of Penumbra]

Didn't have many toys per se, but that was okay because I mostly played outside, swinging around sticks like swords, fighting imaginary goblins and dragons and exploring the neighborhood (and also stupidly exploring places I wasn't supposed to be, like a junked caryard.)

 

[bill-pix-trade]

I had this as a kid. I have it stored in my garage today.

[pink]

I remember playing Charlie's Angels. I was always Jaclyn Smith.

 

[marshalt]

GI Joes, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and Legos.

 

[Bidin~Time]

When i wasn't playing softball, i was roaming the woods on horseback.

 

[sunandshadow]

Plastic horses, mainly. Specifically funrise ones:

We also had legos, lincoln logs, blocks, pipeworks, and yarn and fabric scraps that we used to make clothing, blankets, pillows, ropes, etc. for the horses. Also some tumbled stones and beads that we used for crops the horses were growing and ore they were mining.

 

[pointless]

i had a curious george that i am reasonably ahamed to admit that i slept with for way too long. it was a comfort thing. i got used to it. i still sleep with my arm tucked and folded because of that damned thing. it's seriously a pain in the ass. nothing wakes you up like a limb going numb from lack of blood flow.

[pointless]

i also really liked checkers. well, i still like checkers but people stopped playing with me ages ago. i'm actually pretty good at it. also, phase 10. not when i was a kid, though. i'm just really fucking good at that game as well. don't play me. if i beat you i am merciless and cold.

 

[yossi]

Various board games, barbies (Of which I had a shit ton), Polly Pocket, Sky Dancer(!), Jump rope, we played a lot of tee ball in the back yard with my dad.

I also remember having one of those electronic egg things that had a virtual pet in it. I could never keep it alive.

And, like Fata, I did a lot of reading as a kid. I almost always had my head buried in a book after learning how to read.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

I was so poor when I was a kid, if I wasn't a boy I wouldn't have had anything to play with.

Ishmael

Indeed it is!

Except for the football, you could be my lost twin brothers!

 

[gravyrug]

My brother and I used to set up all our various plastic figures (army men, cowboys & indians, etc) around his room and shoot them with rubber bands. We also wore base-paths in the back yard playing kickball and tennis-baseball with the neighbors.

My room was the only upstairs room, so I had it all to myself, and it was mostly books and records.

 

[Weird Harold]

Too many to list: Mattel, Parker Brothers, Hasbro, Milton Bradley and a host of lesser-brands and knock-offs.

Probably the first board game was Candyland.

PS: I also had a Tonka(tm) dump truck from a very early age as well.

 

[Boxlicker101]

Guns. That was the name of the game and that was what we played with. One team would hide and the other would go out and hunt them and the two teams would shoot each other with cap pistols, etc.

Also, baseball, football and sometimes even basketball but not so much of that. It was too cold and dark and snowy during the winter.

 

[Sinny]

I had a Baby Alive doll when I was itty bitty. It shit after you fed it. I am not kidding. That thing must have smelled so foul. My sister had one, too, and I ended up cutting off her doll's hair because I wanted to see what it would look like and I didn't want to fuck up mine. I was an awesome sister.

I had Lite Brite and Hungry Hungry Hippos. I had a smurf house with about 20 Smurfs.

We made a lot of homemade paper dolls and drew and cut out clothes for them. Wish I would have kept some of those. We were VERY fashionable in the early 80s with our San Francisco Riding Gear jeans. And feathered hair.

For imaginary games, we played a lot of Electro Woman and Dyna Girl and sometimes we would play Charlie's Angels or Bionic Woman. I never got to be bionic.
