What was your favorite childhood toy? Do you still have it? Have you had it valued?

I love my tractor. I had it upside down playing w/ the gears once and got my fingers caught in the chain and gear. I still have a scar on my finger today from it.


Later I upgraded to my bike, which I loved


I also loved the wagon on my grandma and grandpa's house. Grandma baby sat me until I was in kindergarten.

I look bald there, but I really wasn't. Weird.

I was totally jealous of a friend of mine who had a doll whose hair went in and out when you turned a dial on her back



and anyone with Sasha dolls

My Doll "Nancy".
I've had her since I was 5.
She went everywhere with me: every family vacation, Rutgers, my new home...

OMG they were amazing!

Wait, they had Star Wars size dolls (clear/see through bodies) but their joints moved and they had some little jet thingies that went into a hole on their backs? Yes?

ZombieKitten said:

My sister had one of those.

My parents liked her better.

johnart said:

Yes! But if I had posted one of those first, people that didn't know them wouldn't get the appeal I think.

I LOVED THEM!
They were friends/sometimes enemies with the Star Wars figures.

I don't know if there was a cartoon or anything. I don't remember one in Puerto Rico, just the toys.

Mazinger Z kicked many a Star Wars figure/doll's ass.

I grew up in the country and was driving dirt roads at a ridiculously young age...I had a 75 Chrysler Cordoba that was a toy when I was 9...
and by that time I was a a pretty damn good driver...

Legos and Barbie dolls
