Toys of the 80's - What were you playing with?


Recommended Posts

We've had favourite TV programmes of the 80's but what were your favourite toys of the 80's?

 

Mine were:

 

Lights Alive

Keepers

Popples

My Little Pony, complete with My Little Pony Stables (or My Little Pony Slaughter House as my Dad used to call it, probably due to the barbaric hair styling I used to put them poor ponies through!)

Fuzzy Felt

I used to also love these little fold out dolls/pets things that you could wear as jewellery. Their heads, arms and legs folded inside a case with a jewel on it. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of them. If anyone else can, please let me know!

 

I always wanted a Garbage Patch doll but never got one :(

 

What were your favourite toys of the 80's (if you are from this time)?!

Action Man. Simon Says. Operation. Tonka toys. Amstrad CPC464 computer.

 

There's loads to choose from but these are just a few that spring to mind.

 

Also wasn't the dolls called Cabbage Patch?

Yes, you're quite right - i'm getting it confused with the Garbage Patch Kids - they were like a messed up/violent mock of the Cabbage Patch kids! For example, one lived in a bin, covered in rotten veg etc!

You could get the collecting cards of them from the newsagents.

Good spot!
