- Now that Christmas is over and all the presents have been opened, it’s time for that part of the Christmas period where all the adults tell the children how much better toys were when they were children. Toys such as footballs, bikes, Barbie dolls, He-man, Care Bears, Action man and many more… In this video we are going to look at some of the most popular toys in Wales during the 1960’s all the way to the 1990’s.
There wasn’t time to talk about all the great toys through the decades in this video, so if I didn’t mention your favourite, why not tell me about it in the comments below.

You're never too old for an etch a sketch 🎄
This is a fun video!! I loved my beautiful Barbie Dolls and the accessories that came with the dolls. Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy 2022 !!
My favourites.
I was a sindy girl and my other memorable Christmas present was spirigraph toothed wheels and rings that worked a bit like gears to draw amazing intricate patterns.
Thanks Jason. Loved the video. Definitely brought back memories for me. I had pretty much the same experiences here in North Carolina, USA. Diolch & Nadolig llawen!!
very intresting
A few toys/games I had as a kid in the sixties/seventies.
Spirograph, Hot Wheels, Escalado, Round the Bend, Railroader, Triang Scooter, Cadburys Chocolate Machine, Frustration, Meccano and The Beetle game.
Who else remembers these?
Great video as ever, Jason.

Happy new year Jason!
I agree with the previous comment. A lovely trip down memory lane - diolch yn fawr. Blwyddyn newydd dda!
Shame Happy New year from Canada...thank you for your wonderful work.
Blwyddyn newydd dda!/Happy new year!
I was a Sindy doll girl, still hate Barbie😂 I also collected the Britains farm models growing up on a farm it seemed normal, have a Happy New Year
Interesting there was no difference from Wales to US. I feel like because t.v. is so different, everything else pop-culture is as well, so it's surprising to hear all the popular toys were the same. I always enjoyed getting plush animals (my favorite was a kangaroo, lol - I'm American). One of those who didn't subscribe to the gender-bias in toys, I enjoyed transformers, Voltron, blocks, erector-sets, computer games, and musical instruments. I did get a bicycle for Christmas when I was 5 (along with the kangaroo, which I still have at 46 years old, lol). Best Christmas ever, apparently. 🙂
Blwyddyn newydd da o Seland Newydd Jason. Hwyl !
Blwyddyn newydd dda i chi!
Blwyddyn newydd dda i chi.
