    My favorite toys growing up in the 70s, as I was a teenager and out of high school by the mid 80s, were Legos, Hot Wheels track set, Lionel train, The Green Machine, Silly putty, Stretch Armstrong, Pong, and a ton of board games and my favorite of all what my Schwinn 2sp bike that I bought at a yard sale down the block for $3 (after a bit of dickering lol).
    I had older cousins that would pass down toys and had a ton of them come thru' the house at one point or another.
    ...and I liked to read as well so a lot of books were passed down/gifted to me also.

    Teddy ruxpin. some people would put ac/dc or other crazy music cassettes into those and the doll goes wild. It lead to a lot of burned out teddies. The problem was the voice modulation system and motor control system was connected to the same thing which was supposed to move to a story being played but it didn’t quite work right. The circuit basically burned themselves out when too much movement was detected. A new mp3 version was introduced in the early 2010s but it never took off. Good times.

    Greetings from Texas! Howdy y'all! Jono I just wanted to say that you talking about how those dolls with the moving mouths and eyes freaked you out. Reminded me of one Christmas long after I had grown up and my daughter was six years old. I wanted to get her something really special for that particular Christmas. So I bought her one of the most advanced baby dolls of that time. It's eyes opened and closed. It actually slept until you woke it up by either picking it up or saying something near it that triggered it's voice activation mode. It could actually respond to multiple questions that its little computer brain could recognize.
    So Christmas night after my daughter had gone to bed while munching on Santa's cookies that she had left out as well as putting a couple of drops of red dye into the cup of water that she left out specifically for Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer. ( The red coloring in the half emptied glass of water, obviously being indisputable proof that Rudolph's red nose had been dipped in it while he was drinking. )
    I took the Baby Doll out and put in it's batteries because my plan was to just leave it under the tree in plain sight so that it would be the very first present she saw. Plus it would wake up open it's eyes and it's mouth and lips would realistically move while it spoke to her. Either good morning, or I want to play, and a few other random responses to being woken up. So everything was ready and I had just finished setting everything up and I was smugly appreciating the wonderful Christmas morning the all that money I spent on that very expensive doll. Was going to make it a Christmas that my daughter would always remember.
    Within just a couple of minutes of me sitting down and enjoying all the twinkling colorful Christmas lights on the Christmas tree with all the presents neatly arranged for maximum impact on a six year olds imaginative brain.
    In walks my older brother Rob. Who had just gotten home from the movies with friends and apparently had stopped for a few drinks on the way home.
    I greeted him and saw that he was in s particularly good mood. When he suddenly stopped in his tracks looking at the expensive baby doll under the tree. He said " WOW! You got her a new doll!" And I proudly confirmed his observation. Rob leaned down and picked up the doll. As soon as he stood up. Of course the doll opened its eyes and said with it's moving mouth and lips. " Hello! Do you want to play?" Before I could say anything Rob screamed and threw the doll across the living room. Where luckily it landed on the sofas well padded cushions.
    I freaked out because I thought he'd just destroyed the doll and I was going to be left with little choice but to have to kill my older brother on Christmas Eve. But when I jumped up yelling at him and frantically picking up and examining the doll. Rob obviously felt bad about having thrown his beloved niece's Christmas present across the room.
    But the Doll turned out to be just fine and disaster was averted and I breathed a sense of relief that I didn't have to end my brothers life on Christmas Eve. after all.
    Turns out the part of the reason for his very terrified reaction was that he and his friends had just come back from watching the movie Chucky for the very first time.
    Reality is often stranger than fiction. And this series of unfortunate events was the proof of the saying. I'll never forget it. BTW my daughter still talks about that Christmas with her own 19 year old daughter. So I guess despite everything. I was successful.

    The Cabbage Patch Kids were hyped so much that when they finally got to the stores here there were people getting into fights over them. There is a lady currently serving a life sentance for murder in my state because she shot and killed a grandmother of 2 because the grandmother refused to give her one of the dolls she had waited for 19 hours in line to buy them for her twin granddaughters. I don't know how many people were arrested for assault charges. My grandmother collected dolls and when she passed away there were 2 of them in her collection still in the original unopened boxes.

    I was 13 in 1980 so my toys were a generation before these. I had the original G.I Joes that were much, much larger than they were in the 80's. They were approx. twice as large as the average Barbie doll. In addition to the action figures, I had a Jeep for them and the trailer that it could pull which had a removable spotlight mounted on it. Those things would be worth a fortune today.

      I'm sure you'll respond about how I'm clearly jealous and that's why I'm upset. Did you notice I've not mentioned what generation I am? A claim of jealously wouldn't make much sense.

    My uncle gave me a bunch of Matchbox and Hotwheels cars when I was a kid. I added to them and passed most of them down to my little brother. Passed the collection on to my niece and she has over 4,000 of them hanging on her walls still in the package. For ever one on her wall she has a duplicate that she played with. She has around 5,400 that are not in packages. I was smart enough as a kid to collect 5 of each of the Hotwheels cars issued with the McDonald's Happy Meals. I kept complete sets of them still in the packages as the ones from McDonald's were specifically made for the Happy Meals. I recently sold a set of all the cars released in the 1980s Happy Meals for $5,000 to a collector. Not a bad profit for 40 Hotwheels cars that I paid 50 cents each for.

    Notes: I missed out on so many toys! 😢 However, I was collecting comics and trading cards and viewing television series and movies. Because I was at "Pizza Hut" if there was a tie-in toy product, I would have had access to those. The "NES" is the only one in the list that I bought for myself! I may have bought some of the others as gifts, though. 🤔
    One of my college art professors showed us his expensive Japanese toy robots that could transform into other toys! They weren't promoted as aliens yet with a story. They were just toys that could be played with in more than one way. 😎
    "Mattel" had the license to make the toys for Arnold's first "Conan" movie. But they were shocked by the sex and violence and the rating the movie got because of it!
    So they quickly had to recalibrate after cancelling their deal and suddenly "Conan the Barbarian" became "He-Man"! 😮

    The 1980s GI Joes were terrible compared to the much bigger GI Joe action figures that I grew up with. I only had a couple of them and I really enjoyed having imaginary adventures and battles with them. But my Rich cousins had over two dozen GI Joe action figures and all the accessories that you could get to put on them like a wetsuit, ( they called them Frogmen back then.) , several different real cloth uniforms, different weapons, all the action vehicles that were available like the assault Dunbuggy and the Black Ops speed boat, the communications truck that opened up that you could play with all the communications equipment inside the you could, use the communications handset, ( looked like sn old school rotory dial phone receiver.) , and many other movable dials and levers to play with as well as simulated panels full of radar screens and red blue and green simulated lights everywhere. Of course being from a pooer family I was immensely envious of all that they had. But I noticed that they didn't take near the Care of their toys as my brothers and I did. These were the best action figures ever! And my brothers and I spent countless hours playing with them living in a world of imaginary adventure, Danger and Conflict. For a young boy in the sixties and seventies. There was nothing better. Long before even video arcades were a thing much less home video games.
    This was our Xbox and Play stations. Our imaginations were so much better than any video games I've ever seen since.

    this guy got so many things messed up on dates to releases. Funny thing about the Mario Brothers game is that it was released on the Atari 2600 first Not Nintendo second it was released in Arcades then onto the Nintendo home console as most think it was on Nintendo first. Atari helped with coding the early first Nintendo games and made a deal with the company to release some of their titles first on Atari as Atari still owns all rights to Donkey Kong, popeye & Pac-man.
    Go-Bots released first Not Transformers and had a cartoon game and figures all before Transformers released anything. TMNT released comic in 82 and Rocksteady was never part of the original comic as all the Turtles wore Red Bandas and Shredder was killed in the first comic book as the TMNT comic was supposed to be a Joke reasons why Marvels Daredevil is in the comic.
