Childhood Toys--How did you play?

[MadeleineG]

I did. A rainbow caterpillar.

[Bijou]

Are you thinking of Rainbow Brite?

Yes! Haha well I was close on remembering her name.

Legos all the way

I even had several of those plastic drawer sets usually used by people to hold small screws and stuff to store them. I would meticulously keep blocks of the same color and size in their specific drawers. Pirate legos - forest legos - race tracks legos - I loved all of it.

My best memories of entertaining myself at home as a kid all involve legos. I was lucky enough to have a playroom growing up, and it was completely filled with stuff I built. I was a bit obsessed, and I would construct elaborate stories as I built each set. Sometimes I would follow directions, but really I would mostly build them out as I wanted. I liked Kinex too.

When I moved out my mother sold all of the drawer sets with dismantled parts to a kid in the neighborhood as I had abandoned them in my teenage years, so I hope he got a fraction of the same enjoyment I did out of them.

I also really liked Pogs (remember those?), and I even participated in Pog competitions. ( I was not very good) Collecting the best slammers and new pogs was a lot of fun.

I used to play with action figure but female ones, nobody ever thought anything of it, I still have a few of the female action figures as momentos, even now thinking about it they were kinda cool, Also played with toy guns of course, ive always been a gun nut, always will. That's why even now I got a few real ones that are pretty cool:) oh and Legos are the ish!

I always played with hyper-masculine GI Joes and Transformers and what not (I'm aging myself I know). I genuinely liked them, plus they added to the illusion I had created to make my parents not suspect I was "gay" or "weird" or "not right in the head". I wanted to play with Barbie and accessorize her so, but you just didn't do that back then, and certainly not in my household.

I almost forgot about transformers! My favorites where the ones that changed into jets. But, then, everyone probably wishes they could fly away sometimes.

I think it's all a load of crap tbh.

I think it's all a load of crap tbh.

That's not really an answer to the question, tbh

I loved (and still do love) legos. Back when I was about six or seven, it was lego trains in particular. Also had every single Harry Potter lego set from the first two movies. Up until middle school, I collected Star Wars and Transformers action figures. Collected being the key word here, I stopped playing with my toys so much, and just started having them for display. Loved sewing my whole life. Made all kinds of little dolls, animals, pillows, etc. in fact, that's my job now, I sew tents. I want to finish college and do something that requires more creativity than following tent diagrams though, like being an engineer or an architect.

Like alot of people here, G.I Joes and various other things, and later on Power Rangers.

I did a lot of pretend stuff, and don't recall ever being into girl toys but suppose that is a stereotype anyways. I do remember pretending to have some of my Male G.I Joes turning into the female G.I Joes..I'll admit it I was sort of an odd kid.

But I did like to pretend to be the green ranger....still have the flute dagger some where hehe.
