MICRONAUTS!
Followed quickly by the Spirograph.
I just got a new toy put out by the Falcon company. Talk about fun!

Those "Pogs" were my favorite toy of childhood.
That, and Barbies. I was a pretty boring child.

Loved Barbies. I had Skipper too (the lesbian little sister).

I seriously, as a kid, paired the Kens together. For fun.
Skipper was not a lesbian!
She was a tomboy. And there's a difference.
no birkenstocks?

Anyone remember "Growing Up Skipper"? You twister her arm, and she grew boobs!
Riddle:
Q: What's the last thing they do to Tickle Me Elmo before he leaves the toy factory?
A: They give him two test tickles!
I think you lifted her arm and her boobs grew.
Anyone remember Tiffany Taylor?
Half her hair was blonde, the other half was brunette, you twisted her scalp to choose between the 2.
I loved my tinker toys and Lincoln logs
I remember Tiffany Taylor! Twist the hair halfway and she looked like Cruella DeVille. I wanted one so bad!
They have them on occasion on ebay but they're $40. A little much.
Spirographs, colorforms, and a doll called Drowsey were my favorites. Now for some Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry Kool-Aid!. Ahhh memories.

All I wanted when I was a kid was an Easy Bake Oven. God, my parents knew when I was 5, didn't they?

My favorite toy was a baby doll called Thumbelina. It was soft and cuddly like a real baby. It had a key on its belly that you wound up and it moved like a real baby. My cousin had one and I felt so jealous until my parents finally bought me one. Today I still like toys, but the catalogue I order them from gets mailde to me in a plain brown wrapper!
Matt G, you are nothing if not consistent....
As for the thread, i second colorforms (i had the wonder woman set, of course)
and the BEST was the Play-Doh Barber Shop
also enjoyed the GI Joe a LITTLE more than i should...and i still do!
