Which items on our list were a staple of YOUR childhood? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Toys With a Cult Following - ua-cam.com/video/mK-dd4ICBug/v-deo.html
As a boomer, the older ones like Lite-Brite and The Game Of Life were part of my childhood. Along with Slinky, Etch-A-Sketch. As a little girl I didn’t like ‘baby dolls’ just played with stuffed animals but when I was a bit older I LOVED Barbie.
Awesome games! I have beef with Clue even though I love it. It doesn't matter who I play, the killer is ALWAYS me in one of three rooms with a blunt object, lol! It doesn't matter who I play with. I've even been the one who loads the folder. 😂😂😂
Too bad kids nowadays won't enjoy the nice childhood we had with these toys. But anyways, no tears here. Happy wednesday morning, Emely. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I remember spending my early childhood years playing with my Lite-Brite. I would spend HOURS playing with it and would do the same designs over and over again I memorized the colors and shapes by heart!!!
Also the board game Girl Talk lol….I believe that came out in the late 80s. When there were sleepovers we would play that game lol. Rainbow brite etc…Ahhh the good ol times without computers and great music ❤
I remember Teddy Ruxpin very well. Everyone thought he was scary, but he did not scare me. I loved listening to his stories and watch him come to life and talk. And his cartoon was good too. (Sigh) Why couldn't his reboots work?
7 of the 10 defined mine! ♥ Great list! I might have been tempted to go with Trouble instead of Sorry! because of the Pop-o-matic device, but that's just an opinion. I had Sorry! and loved it! I also think Operation deserved an honorable mention, but I'm nitpicking. Lots of fun memories came flooding back with this video--good work, MsMojo! 👍
2:35 Lite-Brite FX version?! WHAT? one look at the commercial and it instantly reminded me of the Windows XP Windows Media Player with all the different "trippy" visualizations
I remember playing with my View-Master. Me and my younger brother each had our own. We would “travel the world,” “go back in time,” relive our favorite movie scenes, do pretty much ANYTHING with them! We never got bored with them. To this day I can never get the distinct click sound you heard every time you pressed the side lever out of my head and never will
Most of these toys were definitely part of my childhood, but you missed one that was a staple of my brother's and I expect millions of other children - LEGO. Can't believe you didn't mention it at all
All of these games I've played as a kid. Tamagaotchi, Lite-brite, Slinky, Sorry, Etch a sketch, Hungry Hungry Hippo, Skip it, Spirograph, Scrabble, and Monopoly. I even got DB Super Monopoly.
I'm a total Barbie girl. I even had 2 of the originals (Blonde and Brunette). I also had one that had to have been from late 60s/early 70s judging by her haircut and groovy minidress. Ballerina, International, one with Titian Blonde hair and fine copper wires to keep whatever hairstyle you did. Cher, Brooke Shields, Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman. Plus all of their vehicles. The big plane, the camper, the VW van, the '79 Corvette convertible (it was purple 💜). The horse, Afghan hound, dog that pooped, lol! I was a Barbie fanatic. My whole family knew that it didn't take much to make me happy on Christmas or my birthday: anything Barbie. I was just as happy if I got 2 of the same things/outfits, I said I had so many Barbies that having doubles of things meant more to go around when my niece/girlfriends and I played. Barbie was also a great comfort to me in my teens when I was troubled or depressed. I'd just go through my collection making sure everything was clean, all together, that the dolls' hair were protected,(knee high stockings if you want to know. Especially Cher's long hair.).
Light Brite! My mom still has mine. With the ribbon cube I just figured out how to take it apart and put it back together in order. Cheater! 😂 and uno was my family's jam. We had 4 sons and every Saturday all of their friends would come over for a tournament. We had 4 uno decks added together and games would go on FOR EV ER! BEST MEMORIES!
my household didn't have Monopoly....we did have Sorry and others but our favorite was this Disney trivia game where the tin/board was shaped like Mickey. my favorite toys were Barbie, Polly Pockets (the bigger ones), and Bratz
*The Game of Life:* Decades ago I wrote a program that played through every possible set of moves to find which was best, and what I learned was, except for your profession, none of the few choices that you could make mattered. There was almost zero advantage to making one choice over another. That disappointed me after having played the game for years. *Lite-Bright:* This was an amazingly fun toy. *Sorry!:* I played this game for a year's-worth of hours. I laugh at that commercial thinking about the actors. Exec: "OK, Bob. This is your big break! You finally landed a spot on television." Bob: "Outstanding! What role am I playing?" Exec: "You will be dressing up in a foam suit shaped like a board game piece, walking around and bumping into other people dressed the same way." Bob: " . . . "
I somehow accidentally made a killing selling off my Beanie Babies as a teenager cuz I had rare ones. I to this day have about 6,000+ hot wheels & matchbox diecasts in my current toyroom. 🤣
Maybe this is just me, but I can't believe Bop It didn't at LEAST rate an honorable mention. That was my childhood. As a sight-impaired kid of the 1990s/early 2000s, I wasn't into etchasketch, I couldn't play regular board games unless they were made accessible which was quite expensive, and yeah ... at least I could bop it! That was one thing that was totally accessible to me, which my sighted peers also enjoyed.
our slinkies never EVER walked down the stairs, no matter how many times we tried. there is a specific size of stairs that works with each model of slinky, and ours didn't match up.
I feel like this topic could've been split into separate videos(so many good toys back then :)) some picks from me are Yakbak/Talkboy (thanks to Home Alone 2), Mr Potato Head, Simon , Mouse Trap, Nickelodeon slime
Are used to love playing with, or at least seeing all of these toys whether I own them, or was testing them out at the toy store, I used to have a view master with a real that was all scenes from the original cars movie. That thing used to hold me in the trance like no other electronic device does.
Oh 🤦🏾♂️ Lawd the light bright 1 of the half dozen/ so gifts people bought me throughout my childhood that never got taken out of the 📦.......Parents be better, because my step-father was not a tinker type person there are several experiences I missed out on as a child.

MONOPOLY!
Barbie is a decent for me
@@EllaEsposito-ou8ew Barbie? Really? You are so pathetic.
Twister and Barbie defined my childhood, I still have a soft spot for both of them.
Ahh, those are childhood memories
I’m with you🙂🪀
Indeed.
I love the old school commercials. What a trip down memory lane. I remember the Rubik’s cube being mentioned in The Wedding Singer as well.

I remember having a Lite Brite when I was a kid😊
Me too.
I love Life, Clue, Sorry,Trouble, Mall Madness, Girl Talk, Sweet Valley High ❤❤
Awesome games!
I have beef with Clue even though I love it.
It doesn't matter who I play, the killer is ALWAYS me in one of three rooms with a blunt object, lol! It doesn't matter who I play with.
I've even been the one who loads the folder. 😂😂😂
My dad still has my mall madness lol
How could you possibly leave Fisher Price Toys and Liddle Kiddles off this list? They defined my childhood.
Not gonna lie, im 40 and still walk down the Barbie aisle when im at the store. Loved my Barbies❤🩷
I’m 58 and still look especially this time of year because I need to see her holiday dress.
Too bad kids nowadays won't enjoy the nice childhood we had with these toys. But anyways, no tears here. Happy wednesday morning, Emely. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
We have call of duty and GTA vi I would say we are fine😂😂😂
@@jacobdenis9192 Nothing compares to the old school games and toys,
@@samuelcollantes1175 that what a millennial would say
You guys grew up with board games we have digital high graphics game there is no comparison
I remember spending my early childhood years playing with my Lite-Brite. I would spend HOURS playing with it and would do the same designs over and over again I memorized the colors and shapes by heart!!!
Very cool!
Also the board game Girl Talk lol….I believe that came out in the late 80s. When there were sleepovers we would play that game lol. Rainbow brite etc…Ahhh the good ol times without computers and great music ❤
My bosses son is a genius, he has atleast 5/6 different types of rubix cubes that he has mastered
Who remembers PJ Sparkles and Teddy Roxbin 😂😂
My nephew adored his Teddy Ruxbin! He was so cute carrying it around and sleeping with him. ❤❤❤
I remember Teddy Ruxpin very well. Everyone thought he was scary, but he did not scare me. I loved listening to his stories and watch him come to life and talk. And his cartoon was good too. (Sigh) Why couldn't his reboots work?
The first time I ever saw a Furby, I thought don't get them wet, or feed them after midnight
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
7 of the 10 defined mine! ♥ Great list! I might have been tempted to go with Trouble instead of Sorry! because of the Pop-o-matic device, but that's just an opinion. I had Sorry! and loved it!

And Lincoln Logs!
Barbie, Sorry, Operation, UNO, Hungry Hippos, and Monopoly
Pretty much everything thing I did minus Barbie.
Especially Monopoly.
My bad ...smile
All of these games I've played as a kid. Tamagaotchi, Lite-brite, Slinky, Sorry, Etch a sketch, Hungry Hungry Hippo, Skip it, Spirograph, Scrabble, and Monopoly. I even got DB Super Monopoly.
Lego was childhood too, I remember collecting some sets like City and the Toy Story 3 themed one

I had a lite bright too 😂
So did I.
Love operation!
Light Brite! My mom still has mine. With the ribbon cube I just figured out how to take it apart and put it back together in order. Cheater! 😂 and uno was my family's jam.

The ankle swinging ball or bell used to be called "Footsie" when I was a kid in the 60s/70s!
Rubik cube is very hard
Can you do Top 10 80s, 90s, 2000's, and 2010's Toys and games that defined our childhoods?
What about Wooden Trains? They definitely define my childhood.
I swear with the Wooden Trains. Ticks me off that only the Switch got a physical release.
*The Game of Life:* Decades ago I wrote a program that played through every possible set of moves to find which was best, and what I learned was, except for your profession, none of the few choices that you could make mattered.

Polly pocket was my childhood. 😊
I use to enjoy collecting Mighty Max as a kid.
Operation 😊

I would like to get slinky
Late 00’s, early 10’s. Disney Cars were awesome!
What about Pogs and Beanie Babies? I had massive collections of both of them. And Hot Wheels cars. My brother loved those. 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
I somehow accidentally made a killing selling off my Beanie Babies as a teenager cuz I had rare ones. I to this day have about 6,000+ hot wheels & matchbox diecasts in my current toyroom. 🤣

Tamagotchi!!!🩷😭
Barbie for me. I was a teenager when Tamagotchi came out and I had a lot of them.
Omg this was a beautiful walk through my childhood one of my fave vid mojo
our slinkies never EVER walked down the stairs, no matter how many times we tried. there is a specific size of stairs that works with each model of slinky, and ours didn't match up.
Yep thankfully my childhood house had really steep stairs and my slinky always walked down my stairs.
Other childhood toys & games did we missed:
Hot Wheels
Matchbox
Bratz
Trivial Pursuit
Transformers
Scene It
Max Steel
G.I. Joe
Tech Deck
etc.
Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! I owned a Rubik's cube back in the early 80s, but I was never able to solved it after shuffling it. 🤣
I love Barbie dolls
I feel like this topic could've been split into separate videos(so many good toys back then :)) some picks from me are Yakbak/Talkboy (thanks to Home Alone 2), Mr Potato Head, Simon , Mouse Trap, Nickelodeon slime
Light Brigth, Spyrograph and Easy Bake
How much of my 90s childhood do you have!? WOW! My other question is who ACTUALLY FINISHED a game of Monopoly?
It was never possible unless someone cheated on a big level and nobody cared because they wanted the game to finish already 😏
@@batgurrl 😆 right!? Thanks for the laugh.
@@davidslife989 you’re welcome 🙏🏼👍
I always let my digi pet suffer but not on purpose 😂idk how many times the little ambulance came up on the screen.
Mine's always died....giggle
Operation & Perfection
Are used to love playing with, or at least seeing all of these toys whether I own them, or was testing them out at the toy store, I used to have a view master with a real that was all scenes from the original cars movie. That thing used to hold me in the trance like no other electronic device does.
Thank you for taking me back to my childhood. Memory is my favorite board game of all time. 🥰
I didn’t play with any of these toys but I do remember them.
My mama always cheats at Monopoly...giggle
Oh 🤦🏾♂️ Lawd the light bright 1 of the half dozen/ so gifts people bought me throughout my childhood that never got taken out of the 📦.......Parents be better, because my step-father was not a tinker type person there are several experiences I missed out on as a child.
Trouble! With the Pop-o-matic bubble, pop-up dice thrower-thing.
G.I. Joe - the old-school 12" tall Joe with the Kung-Fu grip and the fuzzy beard. Plus his nemesis (not C.O.B.R.A.) - Big Jim and his Sports Camper.
We also played Yahtzee

I was born in the late 80s raised in the 90s
May I offer Speak N' Spell/Math/Read as an option for the inevitable sequel to this list?
Big Wheels and Nerf guns say hi as well.
So we're just going to ignore that they didn't even give an honorable mention to Rock 'em Sock 'em robots? 😢
Basically almost my whole childhood in one video.🩷🩷🩷🩷
