Favorite toys

I had a compulsion to put sindy dolls hair into different hairstyles don't know why, just wanted to , she didn't have a tutu on ,can't remember what she was wearing.
There was a range of toys called action man, I always wanted one of those, I was intrigued by them.

I had an RC car in the 1980s and it was hell. I had to charge it for 14 hours and I waited and waited. And finally it was full, I could play with it!! And thirteen and a half minute later the battery was empty... :) Worst toy ever.

There were faster ways of charging but they were timer chargers which were potentially bad for batteries. I had a Holiday Buggy in the late nineties...
It was already fifteen years old and had been in the attic for years when I got hold of it. One merry summer of use resulted in wrecked gears, a broken chassis and a broken half shaft. There were zero spares for it, I did try. When I got into collecting I sought out another one and using some of the surviving parts rebuilt it.

When I was little I really liked cardboard boxes, to make things with. And I loved playing with blocks, Lincoln Logs, marbles (we made marble runs & stuff with this awesome '80s/'90s toy Mom found at a thrift store, called a "Marble Tube Track." That's it. That's all it said on the box but it was this thing you could build a custom marble run with.)

I liked HO scale trains as well.

And Matchbox cars. I think I still have a few Matchbox cars because you don't just throw those away.

Dad's keys were fun too, and the dog, and shovels, and whatever else.

We were on a real budget & didn't play much with the latest toys but we had a ton of fun with what was around; Mom & Dad encouraged my kid brother & I to use our imaginations which we had plenty of, and it was great. I also really loved stuffed animals & such. All toys had names and personalities & backstories. It was decent!

I had a marble track too. I was my older siblings first and my sister uses it with the kiddos she works with. They LOVE it, box’s weere always a hot commodity at my house.

I did get to see a erector set. My daughter had the marble run. Race car track that we would race. She had a hot wheel track for awhile.. She had her cowboy hat from Toy Story. She had the Buzz Lightyear guy too. I fell in love with Cabage Patch dolls. But my bike and skates and tennis racket - oh skate board brought me the most fun in life. And the roller blading rink where l could go as a young adult and pretty much do as l please. Where did those days go?

Love marble run. We had one at home which belongs to my older siblings first and my sister now uses at work, I love cabbage patch kids. I have 3 and want to get a vintage red head and brunette.

I like fashion dolls and accessories, Lego sets, anything that is miniature and looks realistic, and LOL Surprise blind balls and playsets. I was really into Barbie before Mattel cheapened the quality and kept using the exact same face paint on literally every playline Barbie. I just want things that don’t feel like they are overpriced and clothes with patterns on the front that suddenly stop in the back.

Mattel’s quality is awful. As a doll collector definitely seen it go down. The plastic clothing and hair is so cringe.

I always loved dollhouses . I currently own three but sadly i can currently only display two.Creating rooms and a backstory to them is always very fun. I also love the history of dollhouses and how they changed over the centurys. This is the biggest one i own and my grandpa made it for my aunt when she was little, if i remeber correctly. I got it as a christmas present when i was a small child.

I have four of those dollhouse rooms that I really should finish putting together but I never do. I did assemble a dollhouse to completion once but never got to paint and decorate it as it was at the house of the fiancé of the woman who helped raise me and abused me. It was among the many things that she took and/or withheld from me that I lost when I cut off most ties with her after she attached me. It took me two months to put it together and had just finished it before she assaulted me. I can’t get another kit as my dad think that type of thing is meant only for little girls and doesn’t want me to have anything l8ke that.

That sucks. I’m so sorry. Toys should be for everyone who wants them.

Which is why the Lol Surprise OMG dolls are now my favorite doll brand. The hair textures feel nice and soft with some dolls and the clothing are pretty well made and don’t feel really cheap. Plus the dolls come with jewelry and accessories which Mattel rarely does now outside the Fashionista and Extra lines and the occasional generic necklace on a doll.

Stuffed dogs :) I still collect them. I actually have a few hundred since I’ve been collecting them basically my whole life :oops: These are a few favorites.
They all have names and individual personalities… they all even have collars.
