Title: fave toy when you were a child
Post by: Holly on November 09, 2003, 09:46:13 am
most kids have a special toy when they were growing up... what was yours?

i had a stuffed moose, i took that thing everywhere till i was like 10, i still have it i think and it looks very very beat up. i never named it tho... it was always just "moose". haha

In general i think toys are the most dissapointing things...EVER! You see them on the adverts, you get all excited, you wait months to get your Barbie Travelling House at Christmas and then what happens!? Its Rubbish!.

I still have a cuddly toy from when i was younger, she's called Josie (the name is half my name and half my best friend's) and some people, when they are feeling cruel, say she looks like E.T! But she doesn't.

I used to have a platic gun that fired suction cup things. That was my fave. I'd probably still play with it now if it wasn't broken.

Barbies, Polly Pockets..

I always wanted Ribbon dancer, but my mom never got it for me :X
I was a huge Barbie fan..
I still have all my collector Barbies in the attic..

then I also loved these little Disney sets with little plastic figurines.. and a whole setting.. I had Lion King, Pocahontas (we actually brought Pocahontas into the pooool.. you know like to get the full effect of JUST around the RIVERBEND), and ALADDIN..

mannnn, those were the days.. I remember playing BARBIES for LIKE HOURS UPON HOURSSSS.. AHh.

Beary!! My stuffed bear :) He kicks ass! WOOHOO!! He was more of a toy to sleep with.

But I'm digging my miniature fridge an stove. They're in the closet in my room. They kick ass. I colored a lot, I never had a toy that was all, what I though, cool or anything.

Oooh I used to love Polly Pockets... I still keep a bunch of them somewhere. I wasn't a huge Barbie lover though. I also had those little pony figures, they appeared in a cartoon show, so I used to watch the cartoons with all my ponies spread over the sofa lol

I still keep the first doll my father bought me the day I was born. My most favourite toy isn't that one though, it's a teddy bear I bought in Hamley's the first time I went to London (I was sth like 10 or 11), it's got a jumper with the Union Jack on it  :) At first it didn't have a name, but I called it Felix after spending a year living in an English town called Felixstowe  :roll:

i loved those commercials! they looked so cool then, now i realize how cheap and cheesy they are.

i remember the pet shops too! i had the hamsters one and the dog one.

id say the ones i spent the most time with was the Chipmunk Stage thingy my sis and i had, my Wuzzles Tricycle (that thing was awesome), and our Super Nintendo. Donky was, is, and forever will be one of my favorite games.

i never really had a special toy haha. i'd get a toy, take it everywhere for a week or two then throw it in my toybox that i had, until i got a new toy haha.
