There was nothing more satisfying than turning your Popple into a ball.
1.Teddy Ruxpin.
Okay, Teddy was a little creepy…but, I mean, come on, he TALKED!
Also, nothing was better than putting on a cassette by Madonna and watching him sing the songs.
2.The Barbie from the Barbie and the Rockers line.
3.Rubik’s Cube.
Much like a Rubik’s Cube, you probably owned some kind of E.T.
toy whether you asked for one or not.
5.Playskool’sSesame StreetPoppin' Pals.
Of course, in addition to the cool AF action figures, they also released some amazing play sets.
7.She-Ra: Princess of Power action figures.
8.Speak & Spell.
Did they permanently smell like French fries?
Were they so indestructible that you could play with them everywhere from the bathtub to the park playground?
And were they also the perfect size to stick in your pocket so you could take them anywhere?
Also a big yes.
11.My Little Pony.
First off, they were magical ponies with hair that you could comb for hours!!!
Second, they smelled like a mix of sweetness and subtle plastic, which was also low-key addictive.
And you also probably remember it being the cause of many a fight if you had siblings.
15.ThunderCats action figures.
17.Smurf PVC figures.
18.California Raisins PVC figures.
19.Care Bears.
20.Fisher-Price Little People.
This is one of those toy lines you likely played with way past the suggested age range.
But, how could you not?
The Little People came with so many different play sets that made playing with them so much fun.
The BEST play sets were, FTR, the Tudor house, the barn, and the parking garage.
Aside from being extremely cute, there was something appealing about turning these guys into their ball shape.
24.Transformers are one of the most enduring toy lines of the 1980s.
25.Jem and the Holograms dolls.
Plus, the truth was that they werewaycooler than Barbie.

28.McDonald’sFraggle RockHappy Meal toys.
30.Lastly, Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.
