Polly Pocket! Not the ugly new ones - I mean the little ones back in the 1990s. I lost all of them now, but I still have fond memories of them. I grew up with other toys, but Polly Pocket was my number #1 childhood toy.

Excluding video games:

Mighty Max
Lego
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figurines

Joes were prolly my top favorite toy, building mud bases at a friends backyard was good times! Hell even using broken joes as bb gun target practice was too...

I owned a metal StarScream back in the day and another guy too.
Even toy guns were metal, lol. Anyone remember those metal cap pistols?

Yeah, loved the cartoons for Silverhawks & ThunderCats, never had the toys though but Go-Bots were considered a cheap ass version of Transformers.

Now that I think about it I really didn't have any toys past my very early childhood. I went from playing with Thomas the Tank Engine toys when I was 3 or 4 (Used to love trains) straight to video games on DOS and the Megadrive...skipped the whole action figure thing that older kids usually get into.

Thats a shame. I had such great times with my action figures. I still had my NES and other video games growing up, but I always found time for my action figures.

Nothing wrong with feeling young! But yeah the 80's were a great time to be a kid.

Lincoln logs, legos, masters of the universe collection(including all the castles), skip-it, etch a sketch, and lite-brite come to mind. But mainly we rode around on bikes and caused trouble!
