For Christmas 1998 (I was 5 years old that year) the only thing I wanted was a Furby. I saved all the advertisements and taped them to my wall, I wrote several letters to Santa begging him for the Furby and only the Furby, and I made my mother take me to the mall and other stores just to stand there and stare at the Furbies. I wanted a blue one, in case they were all out, but my grandmother told me they might be all out of blue ( those things were selling nonstop at the time) so I should choose a 2nd color. I chose pink.

On Christmas morning I assume I was very excited. I opened my blue Furby under the tree. It happened to be the baby Furby kind. I was so happy, if I remember correct I did a cartwheel. But then I saw another present shaped exactly like the Fur by package and I asked my mother if it was another one. She told me, "No you haven't been good enough for that, its something boring. Go ahead and open your other presents, forget about it". So I went on and opened everything else and then when I was trying to get help getting my baby Furby out the box, my mother told me I should go ahead and open the last present, so it didn't take up room under the tree. Well when I did, it was a pink "adult"Furby!! I loved both of them, that was the best Christmas ever.

Other toys I got in the 1990s included Bop It, Mouse Trap, the Pokemon stuff and those digital pet computers you attach and had to feed. And of course the Rugrats, my favorite show at the time.

Actually in 2000, I had a white fluffy dog toy on a leash that walked when you push a button. I "convinced" my grandmother that it was an actual dog, so much to the point that she had to walk it to pick me up at school each day.

I miss lots of things from the 1990s. VCRs, cassettes, cameras you throw away and old computers.

I'm sure it was fun to be a child in the 1980s too but they sure had the best stuff I remember in the 1990s.

Anna,
I am 59 and I have a blue, and green furby myself. I also have an ET doll. I purchased the furbys as soon as they came out as an adult, and also the ET. I just couldn't take how cute they were.

Unfortunately even with fresh batteries neither of them work anymore......sniff sniff sniff!

I was really into Barbie and dolly's when I was a kid in the 90's 5-14 years old. I love Screwball Scramble and Mouse Trap along with Subueto. Love the Nintendo too. Also had a Game boy. Favourite other things were Oh Penny and Pill Pockets. Oh and my Paddling Pool and Hi Fi (although not toys).... we did have loads of stuffed animals too

For some reason I never cared much for dolls. I had a Betty spaghetti though. I didn't get a Gameboy until 2003 and it was a Gameboy Advance.

That is the pet computer I was talking about. I forgot the name. Mine did not last long.

A girl in my 2nd grade class named Destiny had many of these, in all different colors. She also drew on her arms with gel pens and called them tattoos. I thought she was the best

That reminded me of these! I never had the actual poo chi.robot tpy but I had a yellow Mcdonalds version..I called it Luanne and that same Destiny once tried to steal it from me

I had one, but it died pretty quick, I was only 5/6 years old when I had it.

Also, liked my Gameboy, played with it all the time.

[LiteraryLark]

I still have the Monkey toy WHICH STILL WORKS and my tomagotchi

[Blue_Bird]

I was all about the pokemon stuff

Trading pokemon cards was always fun. And of course Lego's even though I only built things by the manual.

i used to have this really cool robot thing, that i loved.

you put cassettes in the front and the robot taught you stuff- then sent you on a mission to see how much you learnt

their was 1 on the earth, another one on famous people in history, another one on food, another one on capital cities.. loads of them

of course i broke it eventually- and then started bitterly complaining for another

also loved my marble collection too

They banned trading Pokemon cards at my school because it distracted people, I guess. I had many animal-shaped pool floats and everyone at the pool wanted to borrow them.

They are called Tamagotchi's! They also had Digi Pets. I had both of them when I was young. Gel Pens were THE BEST! You know you were happy in class if you could take notes in different gel pen colors and store them in your trapper-keeper! Hahaha. The good Ol' days!

Yeah when Destiny had the gel pens I made my grandmother go and buy me some..well because I read everything I read the back of the pack and it said not.for use on skin...and I follwed rules strictly..so I never gave myself tattoos. They were stil fun to have t hough.

View-Master, Bop It, Game Boy, Tamagotchi, Gooey Louie, Lite Brite

[Artchic528]

I fondly remember my Lite Brite...it came with about 50 black paper sheets with designs outlined in different numbers that corresponded to different colored pegs. You basically had to find the right colored peg and punch it through the sheet on the right number, into the metal sheet with holes behind it to make pictures that light up. I had a lot of Disney sheets so I did designs like The Little Mermaid and Mickey Mouse. It was the coolest thing. Then I lost those little colored pegs and my Lite Brite was rendered useless.

Another fond memory I had was with one of those Domino Rally sets. You basically set up these plastic dominos to fall over and do all sorts of neat things like launch a rocket. But, what they didn't say on the commercials or the box was that setting it up was a pain and a half. My cousins spent all their vacation with us trying to set it up and never could get it like the instructions were asking. The dominos kept falling over at the slightest touch! Eventually everyone gave up and the pieces were scattered or lost all over the playroom.

You don't see toys like this anymore because idiots kept on letting their kids swallow the small pieces. Now they are considered a choking hazard, especially the Lite Brite toy's colored pegs. Stupid negligent parents....

WOW I had that!!!!!! It was sooooooo much fun!

I think I couldn't keep up the pieces to my Lite Bright...

No one probably has time to watch this all the way through but here are toy commercials from the 90s:

But in the 90s, I began collecting Barbie Dolls. My favorite Barbies I collected in the 90s are my Harley Barbies and my Scarlet O'Hara-Gone with the Wind series.

But here is my favorite toy I got in the 1990s....A jet ski. It goes over 70mph in the water and has a quick acceleration! (Had the cylinder heads bored out for added performance at a shop call "Hot Headz", clever name.) Not to mention my antics of spinning up circles of waves and switching direction suddenly, dipping the nose of the jet ski under water pushing the wave over the top of me. Just to gun it out of the wave and shoot out on top! I've been thrown off, capsized, and air born. Such fun! Now I'm itching to get to the lake!

Hope I did not disrupt the thread from the fond memories of those who were children in the 90s.

[IchbinkeinTeufel]

Sorry, I'm probably not playing along very well, but for me, it was probably the gaming stuff I had in the 90s.

[bounceback]

Actually I am 53 and I think the toys from the 60s and 70s were pretty awesome. They had the thing maker and you could buy the goop in different colors. Instead of the plastic ones they have now it was metal. Ny brothers had insects and cars, my sisters and i had flower molds. Then they had lincoln logs which I loved. I had a tootsie roll machine with molds like they use for play dough. I had a game called dynomite shack that you had to put dynamite in the little hole using these big thumbs and hopefully it didn't blow up on your turn. They had skittles which was really fun where you spin a top and try to get the most points. They had a lot of neat dolls that came with a horse and a bicycle. Good years.

Of the 90s toys I liked furby and I also had a tamagochi even though I wasn't a kid.
