Angry_Gumball Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 So, we already have one about old video games, but what childhood toys and other old things do you remember? For me, I can name quite a few: Toys: My Pet Monster He Man Domino Ralley Pocket Rockers Pogo Ball Transformers Dino-Riders Other random old things Slap Bracelets (flat metal that coiled up when slapped on the wrist) New Kids on the Block Mickey Mouse Club (TV) MC Hammer (Can't touch this!)

Sir Clinksalot Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 What ever happened to Saturday Morning Cartoons?
coasterdude5 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I remember this little tykes amusment park. Little people went in cars and the coaster track had a loop! I loved that thing Im going to look for it. My cousins have it. I tried to make it into a dive loop but that didn't work so well.
Angry_Gumball Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Speaking of Little Tikes, who remembers Waffle Blocks? Those were awesome.

Homer Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 What ever happened to Saturday Morning Cartoons? Oh, they all became crap or networks replaced them with News...
Erik Johnson Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I remember my friend's little sister had a Teddy Ruxpin. Things got interesting when we put in an Eddie Murphy tape.....
Mind Eraser Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Pound Puppies Gak Those cars you could actually drive, that went like 2 mph (name?) Speaking of which, I was sitting on my porch today and noticed like 10 kids ride by on these motorized scooters! My scooter you had to kick for it to move! WTF?
mrsthor Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I always wanted a Cabbage Patch Doll but didn't get one. I also remember watching Astroboy (which my 5 year old son is now into), Kimba the white lion, Secret Valley (an Aussie 80's kid show).
Mind Eraser Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Anyone remember these stuffed animals that had pouches and you could roll them into their pouch and they'd turn in to a ball?? For some reason, I'm thinking they were called Popples? Please help me out here! [edit: did a Google search, and yeah, they were called Popples; but I was thinking of a similar toy that some fast food restaurant used to give out... maybe Burger King?] -kip-
thunder001 Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 ^ I thought that you could remember back before there was history. The original series of the Transformers as well as the first release of Star Wars toys. Anything Lego and the first showing of the Air Jammer Toys, that are now back on store shelves. As far as TV went that was easy, The Goodies, The Young Ones, Dr Who (with Tom Baker) The Two Ronnies, The Kenny Everitt Video Show, You Can't Do That One TV, Battlestar series and V The Mini Series, Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Monkey and that is about all that I can think of at the moment.
ebl Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 ^ Well, almost. Our history lesson was "In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth." Quiz on Friday! Eric
WillMontu Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I miss original Lego sets (not the licensed stuff they sell today). There was castle, space, pirates, town, trains, etc. My brothers and I loved to play with lego, and we still have most of the pieces stored in buckets. It was always fun until it was time to clean up. Also: Old school Ninja Turtles (got the first two seasons on DVD), with toys, trading cards, etc. McDonalds Happy Meal toys too numerous to describe Classic Nick shows (Hidden Temple, GUTS, Double Dare, WWYD, etc.)
Guest Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Cabbage Patch Dolls Teddy Ruxpin I loved that thing. New Kids on the Block. I think I had every piece of merchandise ever made. (sheets, sleeping bag, books, video's) Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Pound Puppies (how cute!) Lincoln Logs (older version rocks) Nickelodeon Games and shows (Double dare, You can't do that on Television) Any Saturday morning cartoon show (now they suck ass) Regular Nintendo (Duck hunt and super mario 3) Sega Genesis (One of the awesome Sonic Games) Rainbow Brite Care Bears The list goes on and on, and I forgot one thing Anyone remember Cheetos Paws?
