What was your favorite toy as a kid?

Post Reply New Topic

My brother had a doll called "Mr. Clown" and I am pretty sure he looked like this:



The internet tells me this was made by "Gund".

Apparently Mr. Clown originally had a hat - but I can never recall seeing it - Mr Clown had been through a boy and two dogs by the time I met him. He still kept his sense of humor.

My imagination.

Come on now Isa - post a picture of you second favorite toy then.

We has this album

My mom would buy LP Record Players at garage sales for cheep and we had lots of kid songs on LP.
(This was B.S. - Before Spotify).

Too many to mention....I had hundreds of things...never could hold on to them though, broke them,sold them, traded them, lost them., bought them again...etc etc

When I was real little my favorite was probably this Herman Munster hand puppet. It said things too when you pulled the drawstring.



I also had the classic brown Teddy Bear like Radar O'Reilly's. Except mine was nearly completely bald because I liked to pluck out bits of fur and rub it under my nose while sucking my thumb. That's what my mom told me.

Radio-controlled cars.

My favorite one was a black-and-white dune buggy with impressive specs at the cost of an insatiable appetite for AA batteries. Used it to race my brother's ultimately superior Kyosho on the tarmac outside grandma and grandpa's house. It's still in the attic of my parents house. Ah, memories.

I used to like “Operation.” And “The Game of Life.”

I used to want many toys “By Marx” and the "Rock em Sock em Robots.”

I had a favorite teddy bear that you could take the fur off.
Underneath was striped fabric

I also loved to play with my Matchbox cars, which I loved to drive around on the floor.

Yep.....those Matchbox cars were cool cars! And they weren't expensive. They were like a quarter each or something.

Do you remember when Marvel or any other comic books were 10 or 15 cents?

I don't think I had just one favorite toy, but I really had a thing for small plastic dolls and figures that I could easily carry around with me and have them explore the huge world around them and see it through their tiny, painted-on eyes.

/\Did Mr.Clown eat the boy and two dogs?

I honestly do not recall, but likely either Legos or Matchbox cars.
