I\'ve never met anyone who remembers the muscle men! I loved those things. They came in small packs, but the bigger packs came in a plastic container shaped like a trash can. They started out flesh-colored, but the cools ones were all different solid colors. Ah, the memories.
When I was really young, I liked Hungry Hungry Hippos. Wished for a Snoopy Sno-cone Machine. Never got one. Damn parents. I had playdough (sp) of course. It was salty. I tasted it. I had to, the curiousity was overwhelming. No, I did not eat paste.
Like Rya, I played with tiny cars. I still have all my micro-machines. Remember the guy on tv who talked really fast?
I had a Barbie or two. I hated brushing her nappy hair and trying to stretch her clothes over her awkward body, and I won\'t even get into my irritation with her always walking on her toes.
At one point (before puberty), I had all 4 turtles, plus rocksteady and beebop. I even made the turtles a rack for all their weapons.
So yeah, I played with mostly "boy" toys. Who the hell wants to play with a giant Barbie head anyway? I personally hated the "pink" aisle at toys r us. I loved all that goo stuff they sold in the gumball machines, water guns, and the above mentioned.
After I hit puberty, I stuck with mostly music, movies, video games, books.
One more thing, if anyone is still reading this. When I was young, I couldn\'t wait to make money and be able to buy all the toys I wanted. That is, not having to BEG my parents. Now that I have a job, I don\'t really care much about toys - kinda sucks. Oh well, I supposed I\'d pick a fast car and a respectable DVD collection over a ninja turtle any day. Well, most days.
