    An article on the local news website ranks the top 5 toys of the 80's

    http://www.thebostonchannel.com/r/22850039/detail.html

    1. Gameboy (No picture needed)

    2. Care Bears

    3. Transformers

    4. Action Figures

    5. Rubik's Cube

    I can agree with the Gameboy at #1 but not so sure about Rubik's Cube being down at #5, what were the favorite toys in your house during the 80's?

    GI Joe and transformers. I was only allowed to have one transformer (they were expensive) and my cousin had a bunch, so I was always jealous!

    Toys of the 80's...LOL. Might as well play with rocks.

    Toys of the 90's were way better. Talkboy for example:

    SMH. Talkboy blew. Xmen action figures though were awesome as were the Power Ranger robots.
  • Glory Days
    Gameboy? how about just straight up nintendo?

    Stretch was not fond of the heat and met quite a catastrophic end in the 80's.

    Stacy the adult sex doll was a large, Gel-filled adult action figure first introduced in 2010 by shilikang of Japan.
    You make the choice, Stretch Armstrong or Stacy the doll?

    My kid had a Stretch Armstrong and he was born in 1989 so they survived into the 90's.

    Probably my moms Bartles and James, my dad's cigarettes or my brothers porn collection.

    That's true no doubt, our little hero had himself a little "accident".

    It was probably the 70's but my Evil Keneval wind up motorcycle with action figure and my tonka trucks were awesome.
