What were your childhood toys?

My absolute favorites were stuffed animals. I’m old enough to have been really into Beanie Babies (not for collecting, just as toys), but I had a pretty broad variety of stuffed animals, all with names, personalities, and relationships.

They’re some of the only things I have that I’m too sentimental about to get rid of.

I still really love stuffed animals, honestly.

We also had some really old fashioned toys like plain wooden blocks that I really enjoyed. I’d for sure still goof around with blocks if I had some. And of course we had plastic toys too - lots of kaiju (I grew up on the old Japanese Godzilla films), mutant turtles, dinosaurs (some of the old Jurassic Park toys are COOL AS HELL), stuff like that.

I had a real fondness for robots and remote-control toys too. Loved Furby, never found them creepy. And digital pets were great! I still start up a Tamagotchi now and then - but I only had the off-brand ones as a kid, and they never worked as well. I had one known as a “Dinkie Dino” that I looked up as an adult and learned was notoriously punishing to play. Your little dinosaur dudes really like to just drop dead.

Edit:  I’m hardcore dating myself here mentioning Beanie Babies, Tamagotchi, and Furby in the same dang post, haha.

I don't have a picture because they're mixed in with our current toys, but we had a few!

Our oldest toy was a raccoon beanie baby, I want to say it's Bandito, that we named Panda. we also had Snips the cat, Jet the blue jay, and Strut the rooster (though we didn't call him that, we didn't really have a name for him I don't think?).

We also had animal toys, and I mostly remember the deer! There's a picture of us playing with our deer in a dollhouse we got for Christmas that our mom really likes. We also had a Rudolph finger puppet we carried around. I don't think we have the deer and I don't know what happened to them, but Rudolph is with our mom.

Then we also had a Pokemon toys! I can't really remember which ones we had as a kid vs getting when we were older since we have a lot of them though.

We also had this weird game with our friend when we were kids where we'd play with sticks and pretend like they were animals? I think they're probably worth noting since even though they're no longer around we thought of our stick collection like toys XD

OH LAWD I remember those little plastic lumps.  They were this wonderfully hard smooth plastic that made the most perfect ASMR-level clacks when you smacked them together.  

I never actually played with them, but I got a few in some Happy Meals or something and just rattling a couple in my hand was so satisfying. 

They're not really toys, but I had (and still have!) two stuffed bears that were given to me since before I can remember.
My mom says they're beanie babies but they still have most of their original textures and it doesn't feel like beanie baby texture

They're really old, both of them are missing their original insides (one of them we filled with stuffing, but the other we didn't for some reason. Also they were originally filled with small plastic beads if any1 was wondering) and one of them is missing their pink string that went around their neck.

I named them Bob and Larry, after the vegetables and I have problems sleeping without them

Other than those, idk what toys I had that we still have, since I gave them to my siblings, who have a talent for losing things ಠ_ಠ though it doesn't matter much since I can't remember any of them anyways

We had a German Shepherd plush we really miss apart from that we had a huge collection of LPS -TheCore
