Did you save any of your favorite toys from your childhood?

[rie'smom]

I don't remember these.. What year(s) were they popular?

I had mine about 1966,67.

 

[gulf breeze]

I think I was around 6 when I had one...so 68 or 69 maybe?

Okay - that's why I don't remember them.. My first girl wasn't born until a couple of years after that..

Thanks HugsForEeyore! Love the Weebles pic. I was starting an ebay collection of Adventure People but then had a couple of kids that brought much less space in my house and much less disposable income I'm a total Playmobil addict and collector. Nothing vintage, though. I even let the kids play with it, lol.

Where do you folks find photos of these things to post - those that aren't your own?

Just search Google Images - you can pretty much find pictures of anything!

...i had to ask ..my wife 's other doll name. she's called sister

belle. [ even the cord works..to the voice box.] the graphics
..on the face...is pretty detailed..,

i also forgot....to mentioned....we set up our old..silver tree [with
one of those color wheels], & placed these old~slightly used
toys underneath. it was intended to share our "days"..with our
kids' modern toys...,

.....the surprise....every year, our family rotates the family re-union
party....every christmas. this tree is very popular..with the kids &
adults. sorta reminded me of tim allen's the santa clause....the second
one..@ the school party..+ all the old toys....being passed out.


...all of which may changed. we jus purchased a dvc for blt...&
...we are going to start going during christmas vacation.

Hmm...either they made them for many years or mine were hand-me-downs. I was born in 67 and didn't have those until at least 71 or 72.

Right click, choose "properties" and then copy what's there.

Thanks! Now that this thread has popped back up again, I hope some other folks will post some photos of their childhood toys.. The memories are great!

We have one of those floating around in our junk drawer. It was DH's and he refuses to get rid of it. The boys think it is really funny that we would even consider it a "game"

I didnt go through all of theese, but I saved The Woodsies! Does anyone remember those? I gave them to my daughter now. I LOVED playing with them when I was little. I think my parents have the Barbi Dream House from the 70's, too!

Does anyone remember a auburn(sp) or red headed Barbie that talked by pulling the string on the back of her neck. I would have come out sometime in 1969 I think I can't remember her name!

The red-headed doll you're talking about is Barbie's British friend Stacey:

I had her and loved her! She looked so pretty in hot pink or turquoise. Stacey and P.J. were my favorites of all the Barbie dolls.

Liddle Kiddles were the bomb! That one above is a Locket Kiddle that you could wear as a necklace or a pin. They also came as "Kiddle Kolognes":

These were scented. I remember the Lilac one best. She was my favorite Kiddle!
