fav toy ever

[mnko]

With the question about the game Perfection got me thinking.
What was your all time favorite toy?
Mine was a robot that walked a little and on his chest had his planet moving accross it, cant remember what it was called. He was from mars or somewhere like that he was red.

chopper ..and my dusty doll

[Miss Inquiry]

It's a tough call between a wooden giraffe and a bit of cardboard. The wooden giraffe was one of thoes wooden toys you push the bass of and it collapses, you let go of the base and it stands up again. It worked with elastic I think. I was transfixed by it. And the bit of cardboard, I spent hours upon hours as a kid sitting on a bit of cardboard zooming down hills, like a sledge but kept me out of trouble in any weather.

[loobie]

I had a push a long donkey that i could sit on!! It was called Jenny and I was absolutely distraught when my mum gave it away!! Even though I was about eight and couldn't fit on it!!!

Oh I was a massive fan of Hungry Hippos as well :-) It used to drive my dog wild cos it was so noisy!!! Ooo and operation, I always lost at that though!! Screwball scramble was another good one. Ok I'm gonna stop now, I could go on forever!!

I had two. A rocking horse that I refused to let my father throw away despite the fact that it apparently had nails and all sorts sticking out of it... I used to rock on it for hours while reading. (Looking back at that sentance I sound slightly insane).

When I got a bit older I used to buy packets of animal families, (little plastic figures basically). I had loads and I would set them up and play with them for hours. There were well over a hundred and all of them had names and character traits assigned to them. They'd take up the whole of the living room floor.

I had a pedal Rolls Royce Phantom, white.

[cascarelli]

Scalextric....had loads of track. Should never have got rid of it.

Same with my train set.

Plus Action Man and model cars..........

[Eve]

I had a soft Snoopy and an Oscar the Grouch which i loved when I was a baby.

I used to love my brother's stuff more, he always got model kits, mechano and lego sets I used to have to beg or bribe to play with.

Was a bit of a tomboy me despite my parents best efforts putting me into a dancing school (ballet, tap, modern and drama), piano and flute lessons, choirs, orchestras and such.

I had a Sindi and gave her a crew cut like a marine :)

My favourite toy ever had to be my Commodore Amiga. Magnificent piece of equipment.

Other favourties include Big Trak, my Acorn Electron and Downfall (mainly because my mum let me stay up late playing it and drinking ginger wine).

[whiskeysheri]

Me and my sister absolutely loved Playmobil (we've still got boxes and boxes of the stuff!). We'd set up a complete house on the bay window ledge and sit on the coffee table playing for hours together (it was the only time we got on then). Then in the morning we would come down and my dad would have moved them all into new postitions~ doing different things, and we thought they had come to life in the night!

I loved Sylvanian Families too! :o)

[spk]

My cheap doll called Johnnie. He had woolie hair, a hard head and soft body and I absolutely adored him. He looks like Chuckie. My niece plays with him and I cant help but feel a bit tetcy about it and Im 28 next week !!

[ummmm]

weebles wobbles put they don't fall down

[ummmm]

oh....and my wendy house

[China Doll]

Oh God Ummm, thanks for the reminder about my wendy house.... I also used to hide in there and read. You had to knock on the floor before entering. If you didn't I'd tell you to get out.... I must have been such a source of joy to my parents as a child.... ;0)

[Agent_Smith]
