Miffy2003, my mum was exactly the same and so I never had a Cabbage Patch doll (too ugly), Mr Frosty (its not hygenic to drink lots of ice) or a Care Bear (though there was never a good reason for that one!)
For my 30th birthday last year my sister in law made me a Nostalgia Box filled with loads of 80s toys bought of eBay. It was fantastic - Cabbage Patch, My Little Pony and a Mr Frosty, along with He Man and Battle Cat coz I was a bit of a tomboy. Will agree though that Mr Frosty was over rated!
My favourite childhood toys were Ker Plunk, Purple People Eater and my Commodore 64, oh and that tennis game you plugged into the TV - how cool was that?!
