Hot Wheels and Barbies

Post Reply New Topic

When I was little, I used to play with both Hot Wheels and Barbies. I used to play with them, for hours. How about the rest of you? Did you play with Hot Wheels and Barbies?

I would take off Barbie's clothes and laugh.

I still do that.

But yeah, hotwheels were fun.

I was more interested in playing with plush toys than barbies as a kid.

Neither. I spent a lot of time weaponising Lego.

I use to love to get card board boxes flatten them out then draw a city with roadways, lakes, buildings, and parks. I would then play for hours with my hotwheels enjoying the city I created. It is one of the reasons I got into Dungeons & Dragons when I saw the game maps.

I remember when McDonald's happy meals would put either a hot wheel for the boys into the box or a barbie for the girls into the box. Even though I'm male, I'd always request for the barbie.

I played with both. The gender they were made for didn't matter to any of us. We owned barbies, hot wheel cars, transformers, ponies, bears, legos... It was about pretend play stories, more than anything else.

I had Barbies, but they tended to be kidnapped and/or swept away in tornadoes. Very rarely did they live happily ever after.

My brother had a very large collection of Hot Wheels. Unless they were going through complicated tracks, I wasn't overly interested. When they were on the tracks, they tended to fall though; I think that if they had gone through successfully each time, I would have been much more fond of them.

Overall, my favorite toys were horses. That was my special interest for quite a few years as a child.

I played with neither. I probably would have preferred hot wheels if those two were my only options. I played with barbies at one friend's house, and that was all. At home I played with toy animals, collected toy horses, and my pets. Sometimes I caught bugs, lizards and frogs outside.

I preferred barbies but I never had hotwheels so I can't really say. My mum's friend's children had a racing track with electric cars and I used to love them!

I preferred Hot Wheels. I was a tomboy, who loved cars.

I actually played with the "pull-back" cars. VW bugs I lined them up by color and size and blah blah blah. I voted for hot wheels though, because it's pretty darned close.

Hot Wheels.

I had Barbies. I used to pull their arms, legs and heads off and stick them in the wrong sockets.

When I was a child I played with Hot Wheels (and Matchbox) cars a lot. I had a bunch of the Hot Wheels tracks that I would assemble into roller coasters and send the cars down them. I have a great big bag full of my old Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars to this day. But I don't play with them anymore---though it would be fun.

A look back in time.

I had them and track layouts in 1971, and my cousin had the "sizzlers."
