I was a kid in the late 80′s/early 90′s; too young for New Kids on the Block, but too old for Barney the Dinosaur. We did spends loads of time playing with Barbie, Legos, and these following toys that seemed to have been over in a time span shorter than Vanilla Ice’s career. Hey, universe, plaid and ripped jeans have made a comeback; bring back my Super Soaker!
Tamagotchi’s! Mine never lived that long, but wait! Sometimes the buttons would malfunction, making it impossible for you to remove their, ahem, waste droppings. I swear! (above)
POGs. Remember? You flipped them or threw them or something? The ying-yang POGs up there might be the most 90′s thing ever.
Hungry Hungry Hippos was clearly the best game ever, although looking back, it might have secretly been an astute metaphor for capitalist greed…
Stretch Armstrong. Remember how cool those commercials were of kids yanking poor Stretch’s corn-syrup-filled rubbery limbs clear across the room? Where did you go, Stretch? Come back.
Gak. Did anyone else have the pizza-scented Gak? That stuff was nasty. Looking back, Nickelodeon was basically the cultural embodiment of the 90′s.
Super Soakers! I’m sure they still make these in some super high-tech version that comes with a clutch and a gear-shift, but I remember pumping that air-pressure gizmo until I was blue in the face.
Skip-It. What other toy could you play with while simultaneously trying to trip your sister?
Beanie Babies. We all talked our parents into buying us fuzzy platypus after fuzzy platypus by saying that eventually we could sell them all as collectors’ items and thus finance our college education. Well, that didn’t turn out so well. UPDATE: I just did some Googling and found out Ty is still in business and cranking out the Beanies (and also something called “Ty Girlz”), but judging from their slightly ghetto website they’re not pulling in a huge bankroll from pawning off Inch the Worm.
BONUS TOY I DO NOT MISS:
Troll dolls. Do not want. How did we ever sleep with these creepy things staring at us from the nightstand??
What toys do you miss from your childhood, Lovelies?

@reesa14@xanga - Furbies! I wanted one so bad when I was six or seven years old. A girl I played with at the time had two of them, and I was so jealous.
guest
I miss the 90s. I had a nano, beanie babies, and Sega Genesis. And parting my hair and keeping it in place with that snap hair clip. Those were the days.
sunflower / 320 posts
I still have my TYs and my Angel Tamagotchi. According to eBay, my pink angel is worth a lot. haha Never had Troll dolls. They annoyed me.
guest
My childhood!! Awesome. I actually still dig trolls. I have one in a penguin suit. He rocks. I will admit that they are creepy looking, sort of haha

OH AND SIT AND SPIN!!
daisy / 630 posts
I love this post!
I miss all of those, especially the pizza scented gak! Why don’t they make that shit anymore?
guest
Whoa, I remember carefully looking at the Ty Beanie Baby website when they were all the rage and I swear IT HAS NOT CHANGED! Well, maybe they added a few things back in 2002 like the tabs on the top, and of course added new Beanie Babies in the same tacky, adorable gif style that makes them look like they are floating without a floor over the overly colorful wallpaper. But seriously, I can’t believe that rainbow background is intact.
guest
I still have all my POGs. I don’t know why I kept them… but I have them!
And I miss skip-its… all sorts of fun!!
I miss the 90s. :c
guest
Also, I hated the trolls and never wanted or had any! Haha. I thought they were embarrassing and scary. In fact, once some old guy offered me one and I just wouldn’t take it no matter what.
guest
yes…………….. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSssssss
guest
i still have troll dolls lol
guest
I loveee this!
guest
Oh the 90′s. I miss you constantly.
guest
YESSS I miss the 90′s.
guest
Why does that Stretch Armstrong have a …third leg?
guest
I still have all of these toys! except the trolls of course (my collection of ty’s is ridiculous :p) Kids these days are missing out
guest
Hahahahahaha, I actually just got my huge ass bin of beanie babies down from the attic. I forgot how much I loved them…not like I, you know, got super excited and played with them an entire Saturday afternoon and cancelled seeing a movie with my friend so I could keep playing or anything. Ahem.
guest
…..Did Stretch Artmstrong have a stretchable schlong? I don’t remember, but maybe it’s because I repressed it.
guest
YES!! and the things that grew hair, but mine never came out right! What were they called again?
daffodil / 1579 posts
skip it!
guest
Those were the best toys ever<3
guest
people are way too nostalgic these days…
guest
Hungry Hungry Hippos and Stretch Armstrong both came out in the late 70′s. Most toys always get reintroduced to newer generations. Stretch is going to get another comeback since a new movie is coming out starring Taylor Lautner.
guest
OMG giga petz and pogs were the shit!
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - Chia pets?
guest
I miss nerfuls =( but I believe those were 80′s lol
guest
awww.. Save the orphans!!
guest
Ah.. I miss these. There is a picture of me as a baby in a pile of my sister’s toys and there are like 9 troll dolls in it. I loved my skip-it and didn’t get a tamagochi until a few years ago. One more thing I don’t miss: the one, the only, the evil : FURBY…creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. Traumatized me as a child. We also named our cat after them. He’s extremely stupid, fluffy and adorable, but dumb and never shuts up.
guest
I liked trolls! D=
guest
ha ha, i remember carrying around my beanie babies and trading them with my friends.
guest
i was soo beast at skip-it. it used to like, cut my ankles tho
guest
Ohmigod!!!!!! I so had a Tomagotchi until my sister killed it! And in one apt we lived in, I found pogs on the top of my closet but never knew what they were! I always wanted a skip-it and I had a few trolls they were my favorite!!! Makes me want one badly!
dahlia / 2382 posts
NEVER. dis. the. TROLLS!!!!! I loved those things!! <3
guest
I think my bro had one where it became illegal to own bc the pumping ability made it too easy to make the water pressure damaging enough to bruise.
guest
Remember Crazy Bones??? I’m a little younger, still a 90s baby, but I think the singlemost amazing children’s phase for me were Pokemon cards.
Tamagotchis were great.
guest
Trolls are pretty cute. I had tons of pogs and who wouldn’t love hungry hungry hippos?
guest
I had all of these! In fact, I still have my collection of beanie babies hidden under my bead

also, NO to furbys
guest
Aw, I miss Trolls the most!
guest
omgg, tamogatchi!! I also loved Barbies, Skip It, and Pokemon. How did you forget Pokemon? Then again, I still play Pokemon so I guess it isn’t too nostalgic.
guest
i miss tomoachis. i still have mine but the battery has been dead for a long time.
orchid / 203 posts
i love the first one, and i actually just threw out my bag of like 200 pogs like 3 weeks ago honestly. I loved my skip it to.. i also had hungry hungry hippos and beanie babies.
I miss being little in the 90s
guest
@nuffaH@xanga - Yes! I had a Scooby-Doo one! hahaha
guest
I LOVED Trolls when I was little.
guest
I LOVE trolls!
And pogs! I had a slammer (the thing you used to flip over the tower of pogs) that had OJ Simpson behind bars and it said, “OJ in the slammer” and then a picture on the other side of the Bronco chase
guest
I love being a 90s child. And I miss ALL of these toys. Trolls, as creepy as they were… Were equally as amazing <3
daisy / 571 posts
I miss hungry hungry hippos hardcore. D’:
guest
omg i was obsessed with gak. i got a gak machine where you could make your own gak.
and….i really liked trolls. but seeing a picture of them now, i don’t understand why i liked them so much.
guest
Uhhh…What about Bop IT!?! or the original Polly Pocket?? ^_^ I miss those things.
rose / 847 posts
I never had Gak, Skip It, or Stretch. I still have all my Pogs. I had some shiny ones and some Alf ones, and the yin and yang one for sure.
I want a Mr. Bucket. They were being sold at WalMart a couple years back and I kick myself for not getting one, if only because you put your balls in his head and they come out of his mouth.
guest
I totally just bought a tomagachi the other day! Work is really slow so I figured it’d be fun to have one on my key chain for those moments when I’m desperate for activity lol!! And as for the trolls.. I had a cute little pencil-topper one. It had green hair. I loved him so much, probably because he wasn’t big and would be kept in my backpack where I never saw him
guest
YAY!!!
orchid / 109 posts
Dang!
I predicted the one toy you wouldn’t miss was a “Furby”.
Those things are so freaky D:
guest
oh my gosh. i miss all of these things! I keep trying to find tamagatchi’s i want one so bad still!!! Things I do not miss: FURBIES! I NEEDED to have one, but I wanted to kill it once I had it.
I had a bajillion beanie baby’s ,i think I donated all but a few to charity a few years ago. crazy. i miss the 90′s. Those were the years.
guest
I’ve always wanted a Tamagotchi. My brother had a cool army camouflage one that I used to try and play with all the time. I got the Giga Pet Digital Doggie that I never got into because it played this annoying alarm for any little thing!. Then there was the whole Digimon’s that connected together to fight and the Nano pets. Ahh it got too big.
I remember practically hurting myself all the time with my skip-it. It wasn’t until 1 time I tried to go so fast I fell hard on my face. It still terrorizes me to this day lol.
Ahh POGS! Those were my favorites to collect. I had about a little container that held like 50 of them. I remember having to use a thicker “pog” (I forgot what the real name was, but it started the actual game) and throwing it down on the stack. I don’t remember exactly how to play it, it was just fun to collect lol.
guest
i still want my tomagachi!
guest
Tomagatchi, beanie babies, and Skip-It. <3
guest
Aww…I want my Tamagotchi back.
I miss my beanie baby/furbie-filled room, too.
hydrangea / 84 posts
Oh. Em. Gee. I have all these jingles ringing in my ears right now. I miss the 90s!
Did anyone else collect Beanie Babies and keep the tags on… because they were going to be valuable one day, of course!
hydrangea / 84 posts
Also… TALK BOYS! Anyone?
guest
i liked those trolls! i never heard of stretch armstrong. i also miss those moon shoes and collecting furbies.
daisy / 742 posts
I loved the Skip-It. They still sell those though.
guest
awww i wish i still had one of my pet keychains
& i agree, those trolls scared the hell out of me,
i would stick my sisters trolls in a drawer before i went to bed because i
always thought they would come alive at night and hurt me haha
guest
@BeautifulMess - yessss! haha
guest
@Bunny_On_The_Fritz@xanga - polly pocket!!! awe i forgot about those
guest
I agree with all these wholeheartedly! Especially the Tomagachi!
guest
anyone remember Yak Bak? where you could record yourself or whoever? hahah I love the 90s.
magnolia / 1296 posts
skip its and beanie babies man. they were the SHIT. waaaant.
guest
i miss being a kid in the 90′s.
my poor little tamagatchi animals never lasted long either.
those pogs were all over my bedroom floor.
i miss the sock ‘em Boppers. it gave me a great reason to hit my brother.
guest
I still have my pogs, and slammers!! two of which were custom made for me and one sleeping beauty one.
I miss wining all of the other kids pogs!!
guest
back then, i think we were suppose to wish on those troll dolls and rub the rhinestone in the middle.
my older brother wished for a little brother while i wished for a little sister.
he got his wish; i didn’t.
guest
dang, i want my tamagotchi back
guest
LOL I had all of these except for the stretch armstrong and the troll dolls..
I remember how we use to cheat our way through on the Tamagotchi. Everyone in school had one and it was such a big distraction that our school had to place a ban on Tamagotchis being brought to school, so that if any students were caught with one, it would’ve been confiscated. And since the tamagotchi had to be fed every few hours or so, this ban would’ve killed our tami’s, so everyone learnt to adjust the tamagotchi time so that it would be sleeping during class time and wake up when school was over for the day. This was also how we were able to have them grow up so quickly. ;D
guest
@Loniii@xanga - I still have my beanie collection on my shelf. I remember it got so popular that McDonalds started to give away their beanie collection as a part of the happy meal. They had some pretty cool toys back then.
guest
I miss the 90s!!!! And I remember these toys!
guest
Giga Pets were waaaaayyyy better than Tomagotchi’s! I still have my Giga Monkey.
And Trolls were freakin’ adorable!
guest
i love troll dolls and they’re crazy and colorful hair! <3
and i think i still have my super soaker somewhere? haha
guest
I remember my friends and I playing pogs, lol
guest
I still love pogs
. I wish I had Tamagotchi still
!
guest
@reesa14@xanga - I loved “Don’t Wake Daddy!” =]
Aww I just re-lived my childhood. . . But dude, furbies were craaaazy. Mine would wake up even when it was covered in something and start talking. . .

Stretch Armstrong……what the hell are they pulling in between his legs?! O_O LOL.
sunflower / 304 posts
amazing. i loved all of these things. even trolls; i loved styling their hair.
you need to add original nintendo to this list.
guest
Yeah, I had one of those Digipets things and it got obese. (I am not lying.) I had a collection of beanie babies and thought one day they will not be worth shit so I gave them away. I had a super soaker 250 and no one on the block messed with me!!
You gotta love those clacker thingies that were pretty annoying but you wanted to do neat stuff with it.
guest
@Starry_eyed_gypsy@xanga - Gigi pets!!!! That is what it was called. Thanks for the recall! I had a kitty cat.
orchid / 241 posts
Personally, I LOVE trolls and could live without beanie babies. Good post, it made me laugh! Especially gigapets and skip-its. God, I loved mine.
guest
My 3 year old daughter has Hungry Hungry Hippos. It’s actually made more cheaply than mine was when I was little.
guest
I remember all of these, those were the good days!
guest
great memories with these things…perhaps they should bring it back.

@Bee - don’t be! they were scary and would never shut up :-p those batteries lasted FOR YEARS
guest
Um, Stretch was around LOOOOOONG before the nineties.
hydrangea / 61 posts
The big orange/red bouncy things you sit on and jump & Beanie Babies!! Everytime I went to a store and saw one I HAD to get it
guest
I remember all of these except for the Pogs and Stretch Armstrong. Those might have been popular when I was really young. I had the Tamagotchi, Beanie Babies, Trolls and a Super Soaker but I remember wanting all the others!
sunflower / 257 posts
I made my mom take my tamagotchi to work with her because I had summercamp and couldn’t bring it with me. Needless to say, she killed my digital pet =[ lol
guest
i love beanie babies c:
i have that super soaker too, except it cracked D;
guest
Love the tomagotchi, hate the furby!
guest
Ah… the time kids loved to go outside :/
I guess this is the lost generation, huh?
guest
Definitely a good list!
I noticed people brought up furbies. I had one of those when I was young and I remember all the scary stories people made up about them….like they attack people. My friend’s mom once put one in the dark hallway and had it talking after she told us this story about it…..my friend and I got so scared haha.
guest
Haha Yesss! I def miss being young in the 90′s
However, I loved my Trolls & I thought they were cute but my dolls on the other hand had to be out of sight when I went to bed.ugh creepy. But I think my +fav out of all those would def be POGs…I wish I could find em’ now X|
hydrangea / 59 posts
i def dont miss furbies! i could never get mine to shut up..i used to wrap it in blankets and hide it in a closet.
guest
i miss this post! hahaha i still have my beanie babies, yeah i was hoping i could sell them when i was older. oh dam. hahaha yeah GAk? ugghh they smelled so bad. haha 90′s are the best <3 so innocent
guest
i seen a super soaker the other day just like the original… i think at hastings or maybe target any way i remember playing with all these toys and i still have the tamagachi, nano and giga pets. i wish i had a sega right now i could play some sonic.
guest
guest
I loved my skip-it, bop-it, and polly pockets (haha that rhymed).
guest
i had tons of trolls!!!
and my tamagochies always ended up dead
and i loved my super soakers
guest
I’ve never heard of Stretch. The rest of these I loved, though. Still have some pogs! And beanies. I may even have a troll somewhere!
guest
LOVED tomagotchis! My husband recently found one random one and bought it for me for nostalgia. I also love Gak. Could never quite get the hang of skip-it.
My sister loved trolls..she had tons of them all over our bedroom. They are a lot creepier than I remember then being.
guest
Ahh I remember all but one of these. Never heard of ‘Gak’.
guest
I remember the 90s and also the 80s since I was born in the 80s and remember the toys I had.
guest
TY beanie babies:) I still have some actually. I love them. and Skip It …My favvvs
guest
I miss the old less boobless barbies, they were the best!! I still have my skipit!!! Those things were awesome!!!!
guest
love all of these toys especially Tamagotchi and the Skip It; gotta love the 90′s♥
guest
All of those definitely, I was also big on the pokemon craze, with the cards and the original gameboy games.
guest
I used to work in a book store that sold Beanies and it was my job as the customer service chick to deal with them (and the lunatics who came in clamoring for them).
:: shudders:: I still have nightmares.
guest
Lolololol troll dolls!
And I want a HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO!
guest
One more thing: Stretch Armstrong was actually a gen 2 in the 90s. The original made the rounds in the 70s, when my brother had one, along with Stretch’s scaly nemesis the Stretch Monster.
guest
@theBlueEyedG1rL@xanga - Hahahahaha I literally threw mine in the closet once because I couldn’t get it to shut off. I was too afraid of it to take the batteries out, so in two hours when it didn’t stop making noise from the closet, I had to have my mom come and disassemble it for me. Then she put it in the garbage.
guest
I miss those, but I did love the trolls. Skip its were so fun!!! I was great with the tamagotchi.
orchid / 107 posts
Oh my gosh. This post is so true. I loooved my tamagotchi except I remember not being able to turn it off so when it was time for school you had to give it to a parent to watch…who would then usually not watch it.
Hungry hippos, ty beanie babies, and skip it were also part of my childhood love affair with toys. Thanks for bringing back great memories!
guest
I think I had one of those troll dolls once when i was a little girl during the late 90s. The other toys I never even heard of. I mostly had toy dinosaurs and barbies.
guest
I was PISSED as hell after my Tamagachi was stolen…I think I was in third grade when I got it. I had BEGGED Pops to get it for me… man! I loved that thing!…and I adored those little troll guys…so adorable
guest
I remember ALL of these!!!
guest
Not gonna lie, I smiled when I saw some of these. Throwback!!

YOU FORGOT BOP-IT!!!!

I can’t remember but were moon shoes 80′s or 90′s? Either way, they were entertaining when I was light enough to actually use them. lol
@BeautifulMess - And Talk Girls! I still have mine! lol
guest
@FallenReign@xanga - hahahahahaha. Or made them act out story plots. o_O;
guest
how can you grow up in the ’90s and not remember any of these?! XD I remember and miss all of these! AND LINCOLN LOGS!!
guest
I miss the nineties
I still have all my old Beanie Babies though <3
guest
Between my brother and I, we had every one of these 90′s toys. I want to go find some Gak now!
guest
skip it was the best toy ever =) i destroyed all competition on it. that and connect four. lol =P
guest
I still have my Tamagotchi…
orchid / 137 posts
I was just playing with my baby furby the other day… more like using it to make my dog jealous.
guest
OMG SKIP IT!! Me and my sister spent hours the other day trying to remember what the proper name was haha and it was soo simple! the only one i don’t remember is Gak =/ Possibly didn’t sell it here in the UK & troll dolls were cool
I owned at least 15 tamagotchis i had one which was doing really well and then i dropped him down the drain
Anyone remember Furbies, polly pocket, puppy in my pocket, dream phone…ahh i miss the 90′s xx
guest
I had all those toys except the Troll dolls (I didn’t like them either). These are definitely the things I miss about the 90s.
guest
LOL. I miss the Troll dolls. I liked them. Maybe I’m just weird.
guest
I miss allll those toys
*except the armstrong and gak – i dont remember those*
guest
i do not miss the furbies. not sure if they were 90s or early 2000s, but i do not miss them one bit.
guest
I still have my pogs, and some pretty vicious looking slammers.
I miss those stupid strips that you would slap on your wrist and it would wrap around. And that’s all they’d do. Oh, and “Koosh balls.”
…I think a lot of my childhood was sold to me in front of the counter at KB Toys.
sunflower / 331 posts
Me and my sister were just talking about pogs the other day! I love skip it and hungry hungry hippos. I remember my mom and aunt driving around from McDonald’s to McDonald’s to get me and my cousins the free beanie babies that came in happy meals.
lily / 5148 posts
I miss the 90′s =( I had a bunch of Trolls when I was younger…
That was my childhood right there..
guest
Oh my! I miss the Tamagotchis!
)
guest
haha I remember the tamagotchis, super soaker, beanie babies, skip-it, and the troll dolls! I’d keep combing my troll doll’s purple hair and wonder why its hair stood straight up all the time. I agree, they were a bit creepy.
guest
The only one of these that I never heard of is Gak…I always thought the troll things were cute. But then again, they were never in my room to watch me sleep. Now Furbies, those things were possessed. Especially on the rare occasion that they would just wake up and start talking by themselves…eeep.
I also remember Chalk Paint, Flubber, and Silly Putty.
And I miss my Skip-Its…
guest
I remember these toys! They were badass! I always talk about how I miss them and how toys these days are overrated. I used to get in trouble for bringing my geo pet to school. My doggy would be hungry and the beeping noise would come from my locker lol.
guest
I was born in ’90, had and loved all of these, besides POGs and the Stretch Armstrong… I never even heard of this stretchy guy…
Who can forget FURBYS? I remember those were sold out everywhere and people were even selling theirs outside stores inside malls for $50+! Ridiculous.
guest
Oh how I would love to have a button that I could push and go back to the 90s! **glances at the troll doll sitting on my dresser haha** and you’re totally right nickelodeon was the 90s! it sucks now
guest
hah, I grew up with all these toys.
guest
OMG. I wish Tamagochi’s going to make a comeback soon. I loved mine. a lot of kids in my school (elementary school, that is) had one, and the school had to make a new rule so that we didn’t play with it during school ours. But I sure managed to sneak mine
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - Was it the doll that makeup magically appeared when you used warm water and colored streaks appeared in her hair? And you had to pump the arm to make the hair short again? Hmm… am I mixing up two different dolls?
guest
i miss those toys so much!! anyhoo..those toys are always coming up getting better and better..i really miss playing tamagochi
guest
I totally forgot pog’s existed lol. What did we do with them though. That I can’t remember.
guest
corn-syrup in Stretch Armstrong???? it looked like some kind of Glue substance when me and my cousins “accidentally” ripped his arms open.
Super Soakers! I remember that day that my parents got me the super uber prized Super Soaker 300!! it had 2 big bottles and 1 smaller one on it. It was red. and my neighbor broke it!!!!!!!!! awrrrh! first day too!!!! You not supposed to pump that one more than 10 times. so after he broke it, the thing would always leak water when in use.
I my favorite troll was the one that you could squeeze the stomach and it would stick out it’s tongue. hehe.
guest
Ohh I loved tomigotchi’s! I had so many of them lol. And I totally forgot about Skip-It. I LOVED that thing!
guest
You don’t like trolls huh.
guest
@MEluvCH@xanga - No i was think of the Chia Pets.
guest
POGs!!! are awesome!!! I had a whole crate of them! I was awesome at playing them..and then you;d have competitions with your friends and whoever wins gets all the pogs… especially the “rare” ones… the 90s were awesome
guest
I miss the 90′s! I had all of these things. I loved troll dolls. I had a little house for them and clothes too!
guest
Perfect
guest
bop it and socker bopper
guest
I miss the skip-it.
guest
Hungry Hungry Hippos was awesome. I used to have a travel game, but I have no idea what happened to it. :/ I never had a Tomagatchi either, but I always wanted one. Super Soakers are still fun. I can’t wait until my son is old enough to chase his daddy with one! Lol.
Gahhhh…I miss the 90′s! D:
guest
I think I still have my stretch armstrong and super soaker 50 down in my basement somewhere.
guest
Wait… you actually do things with pogs? I thought we used them for D&D… <_<
Also, whoever mentioned Bop It — OH HELL YES.
guest
BUMBLE BALLS!
guest
Big Wheels! I hear they don’t make them now for safety reasons. Whatever, they made me a tougher child
guest
I had 3 tamagotchis and they were fun for a little while, but then they just got annoying because me and all my friends brought them to school (we were only 9) and played with them all day (our teacher let us).
I used to collect pogs. I still have a stack of pogs in my room. My fiance gave me all of his recently…yey!!! But I never played the game with them, for me it was just about collecting them.
I had a skip-it like a long time ago, but I was never coordinasted enough to do it right so I just gladly gave it away.
I used to collect beanie babies but recently gave my cousin 3/4 of mine and now only have a special few.
Troll dolls never really creeped me out. Actually I have a purple one sitting on my computer desk right now. I love trying to get his hair to lay flat, but it never does and he always ends up looking hilarious. I also have 2 bigger stufffed ones in my toy basket. One is pink with a tutu and the other one has green hair and a red night suit on (the kind with the butt flap)…lol.
I had a purple furbie, but after a few days it began to creep me out so I just set it aside and let it sleep until a few years ago when I gave it away.

How could you forget the Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots?! =P Haha, glad to see supersoakers ere up there

i never did care for the Troll dolls but Hungry Hungry Hippos was cool.
guest
i actually have a tamagachi on my key chain right now. its real and all, the battery is just dead. lol
guest
The trolls are awesome!
guest
LOL. I remember every single toy you listed. I had every single one except the stretch armstrong. I always wanted one, but I never got one when I was little. I wasn’t allowed to have any trolls. My mom were against them for some odd reason. Haha.
guest
Funny enough, just like that last picture, I have a rainbow assortment of Treasure Trolls. I LOVE THEM!! Their faces are a perfect mix of cute monkey and old man.
guest
YES!!!
POGS! I totally don’t remember what the eff we did with those though!!
SKIP IT! Omg, I was the queeeeen of skipping it. I actually want one now.
SUPER SOAKERS!! Yoooo, these were the best water guns EVER.
guest
yes yes and yes. i had all those toys. awww skip it. my all time fav

guest
OMGAAWWWWWDDD!!!! POGS
guest
ahh and sock’em boppers…. better than a pillow fight
guest
Great post.
Toll dolls were always freaky….but I didn’t fancy the beanie babbies (ty) much either.
Pogs….gawd…those were the days.
And I think I used that exact super soaker…..
guest
guest
Nerf…legos…Need I say more?

oh man. my kid sisters had the Tamagotchi’s and I ended up taking them to college with me because they lost interest in them. Carried those damn things everywhere, feeding them, cleaning up after them, playing with them. If only I had known that this was going to be the same story all over again when they had real live kids!

I was definitely into the beanie babies. Actually, in the picture I have every single one of those lol. And about 60+ more :-/.
guest
I agree! 100%
guest
except I’d put furby’s in there too, though maybe those were more of an early 2000s toy?
guest
I remember my Pogs! I carried them everywhere! What a weirdo I was.
guest
I have an old tamagochi angel as a keyring to a key in the guest room – never thought to change the battery…it’s lying dormant until we’re in the space age and it’ll fetch a penny or 2 on ebay!
guest
hahahha I loved the tamagotchis, pogs, and troll dolls! And my gawd, the SUPER SOAKERS! All the water fights we used to have down our street with those.. Ahh.. Good times.. =]
guest
water babies
guest
omg i totally miss my BOP IT, slap bracelets,NANO pets, super nintendo, Furby, PJ Sparkles and the barbie bust that you could do her makeup using ice cubes or hot water and an applicator.
guest
treasure trolls are actually my favorite type of toys
guest
I used to love trolls lol, guess I was a weird kid.
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - Ch-ch-ch-chia!
Haha, Chia Pets
guest
just my age range! nice.
guest
And furbies! I swear mine starting talking during the night time when I was sleeping. I thought it was going to kill me ._.
guest
Nostalgia…sigh… I wanted a skip it so bad! Like you would not even believe. I used to take my hoolah-hoop and act like it was a skip it, haha. I also wanted Hungry Hungry Hippos, those white kids always looked like they were having so much fun. But most of all I desperately wanted
Socker Boppers, they were more fun than a pillow fight!
I had to resort to pillow fights, with thin pillows.
guest
Furby’s:),and Chia Pets:) I also had Sea Monkeys haha.
guest
I loved Bop It. And my Sega Genesis.
guest
Best. Post. EVER.
I remember all of these and I want the 90′s back NOW!
guest
I was born in ’92 & the toy I DO NOT miss… Furbee.
guest
I’m gonna get new batteries for my tamagotchi.
guest
I miss the He-Man figurines and castles.
guest
i miss mad balls
guest
OMMGGG I USED TO LOVEEE SKIP IT. and gak and tomagotchi’s! im an early 90′s baby… loooooove all of these toys!
guest
I miss playing with Barbies, although it’s particularly a 90′s toy. My friends had a Barbie’s dream house and we used to play with it all the time. My favorite Barbies were Ice Capades Barbie and Miss America Barbie. A lot of my friends had Gak, but I got a sample from the cereal box or something. I really didn’t know how to play with it. I was already in junior high when pogs came out and none of us were really interested in those. I had some trolls but I liked them because you’re supposed to wish on the stone and it’s supposed to grant your wish. I didn’t think they were that cute. My friends did though, maybe I wanted them out of peer pressure.
I also remember when people thought super soakers were dangerous. I don’t really remember the reason why, but I think it’s because kids used to wet adults with the super soakers and then got beat up for wetting them.
guest
@leslie1204@xanga - OMG furby’s were soooo scary!
guest
i mis trolls!!!!!!! i lovd them!
guest
Troll dolls in 90′s? Naw. I dont know anyone who played with those.
Furbies. I DO NOT miss those one bit. Nuff’ said.
guest
Well. I was gonna comment about toys, but then the ‘capitalist greed’ part threw me off. \
There are two forms of capitalism today, a true form and a false form. Unfortunately, people have the two confused and don’t even know about the true form.
Capitalism is not when big bankers suck all the money out of the system or when the FEDs allow this, simply printing more money to feed those ‘hungry hungry hippos.’ That is false capitalism, because it is not capitalism at all. Big bankers hate capitalism in reality, so they call what they do capitalism to demonize it (while secretly fighting against it).
True capitalism means that those who are inventive and/or contribute to society are rewarded for it, which encourages inventiveness. Do doctors make a shit-ton of money? Yes, they do. But being a doctor is stressful and requires a shit-ton of education. If doctors all made less money, something everyone could afford without insurance, then there would be less doctors and those remaining doctors would be less motivated to do their job well. The medical scientists would care less about (and thus work less hard) to improve treatments if they knew that no matter how great their new treatment was, they would get paid the same amount of money as the scientist with less than stellar ideas.
Now, the first issue to arise in retort is the issue of greed. For example, if you need your car fixed and the mechanic, under capitalism and not the thumb of government, is free to charge whatever he/she wants, then would that not give him the power to raise his prices stupidly high? Well, with true capitalism, competition plays a huge role. Competition helps keep prices down, so that the government does not have to and thus, as mentioned above, there is greatly increased motivation to strive for better goods and services to offer (better goods and services = you can charge more for them).
A great example of false capitalism vs. true capitalism can be found in the current health care debate. Many people are in a tough spot, as they cannot afford the expensive, greedy insurance companies and thus have a hell of a time trying to get medical care. The current government claims that capitalism is to blame. But here is the catch – health insurance companies are not currently under a true capitalist system, because a true capitalist system involves competition. The government currently does not allow the insurance companies to compete nation-wide. The insurance companies love this. Instead of having to be competitive with their prices to attract customers, they know that their customers only have so many options. This is not true capitalism.
But the government calls it capitalism because those ‘hungry hungry hippo’ bankers hate capitalism. If there is government health care instead of increased competition, then those big bankers will suck up all the tax money that is supposed to go to said government health care. But as we all know, the big bankers love to waste that money, sending us further into national debt. So that health care is likely not going to be as great as they project it will be. They just want your tax money, and then as usual, they will be giving the nation an I.O.U. slip. And while this false capitalism is to blame (as it is not capitalism at all), they will be calling it capitalism to make you angry with the concept. They want you to be angry at capitalism, not at the big bankers and the federal government who try to keep a boot on capitalism and thus cause these financial issues int he first place.
Do not be fooled by them!
guest
I remember I dropped my Tamagotchi in the bath and cried for like a week.
I miss the 90′s.
guest
I definitly though that my collection of over 200 beanie babies / tys would pay my way through school, unfortuanely that never happened lol
guest
I’m quite sure that those troll dolls were already 80s toys.
rose / 855 posts
I love all of those, even troll dolls.
guest
I’ll be honest.
I still have a Tamagotchi.
guest
Beanie Babies <33
Oh God. Anyone remember Furbies? Those things were creepy and scary as f*ck.
guest
I still have my troll I got for my ninth birthday haha.
guest
omfg! pogs were the shit! i still have mine till this day! i never had a tomagochi sp? but i had a nano baby and a giga pet i missssssssssss the 90s! i love treasure trolls! i used to have on that glowed in the dark and talk at the same time… and hungry hungry hippo we have at my job… i work with kids… but they lost all the balls…
guest
Some of those are from when I was a kid in the 60s. Hungry Hungry Hippos, Stretch Armstrong (though he may have been introduced in the 70s), Skip-It (but I think it was called something else), Troll dolls.

In addition to a couple dolls, I actually had sheets with those Trolls on them…
guest
i miss them too! i still have some of the stuff in my basement.
guest
Hahaha I love reading this and reminiscing. Of the ones you mentioned there were only two that I didn’t have, and both of those my friends owned so I always played with theirs! (By the way, my beanie babies are sitting nicely in a few oversized plastic storage containers under my guest room bed…I guess I never got around to selling mine, either!)
guest
Ohhhh, do I miss my Furby.. And my GigaPet. And my Polly Pockets that were actually tiny.. P;
guest
You missed one of the worst things ever: Furbies.
Those things were Satan’s children.
guest
I HAD ALL OF THOSE. ALL OF THEM <3
AND I LOVED TROLLS TOO!!! hahaha
guest
I have a discontinued TY Pluffie. I googled it and it’s worth like $45 on amazon. woah!
guest
WHOA! you took me back… SKIP IT was the shit!! I remember playing with that until i couldnt anymore with my twin sis. I remember all this toys very well. Def the time i grew up as a kid in. I miss the 90s. The music I miss soo much as well! lovin this post
guest
All of these (minus the trolls) pwn silly bands ANY DAY.
Also…where is the Bop It! on this list??!!!!
guest
Awww…. all those toys bring me back!!!! Definitely my childhood in one blog.
My friend had the 1st toy on his keychain yesterday. I was so shocked but happy to see it again!
guest
OMG. Do NOT get me started on those dadgum Tamagotchi! I had six real ones, then I had the PC game and the Gameboy Game. I spent a good chunk of the 90s with some kind of digital pet. I had Gak, too. Put it everywhere. It turned into a brown icky color when I stuck it in my uniform pocket and left it there for a week. Grandma was SO mad. I also collected troll dolls and regret losing them.
I had one with red hair and a red star belly. Then I had a few with purple hair. I even had a pirate troll! I wasn’t that keen on Beanie Babies but my dad got me a few. Ahhh and the Super Soaker….I pumped that bad boy like there was no tomorrow! I dunno where it went, though.
What I miss the most were all the cute unknown dolls I had. Bubblin dolls, Crystal Princess, Faeries of Cottingley Glenn….and these GORGEOUS dolls from this show called Princess Gwnenevere and the Jewel Riders.
guest
haha, last summer i bought a tamagachi at a garage sale, and it had never been opened! i was so excited. i was playing with it a couple of weeks ago, but it went home, because apparently they don’t actually die if you don’t take care of them, because they’re aliens, and so they go home. i might just have to dig that out again lol
guest
I miss the 90′s!!
BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE.
guest
loveee tamigotchis.. giga pets.. nano babies. <3 take me back.
guest
BOP IT!!!!!!!
guest
Hungry Hippos – my favorite – thanks for the trip down memory lane.
guest
furby!
guest
Easy Bake Oven…I think I may get another one anyways. Don’t judge.
I don’t miss Furby. Was that 90′s? It had to have been close.
guest
Tomagtochi’s/Nano pets were sooo cool! Skip-its and super soakers too. THey don’t have those anymore?? And gak–soo awesome. Does anyone remember Floam? That stuff was cool! ha ha thanks for the memories.
guest
We did have some good toys. I love tamagotchis, beanie babies and skip its. They were the best. I so did try to trip my sister with it. LOL. Troll dolls were kind of creepy.
guest
What was the purpose of Troll dolls, anyways? From all of those, I miss the Hungry Hungry Hippos. Other than that, I”ve never played a Tamagotchi, even though my friends owned plenty.
guest
Gold. You cracked me up with the troll dolls.
guest
AWE! I miss the 90′s !! I have my pogs still, hahahaaa. Haven’t played with them though.
Yeah – it seems that the quality of toys are really like this anymore
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - chia pets?
guest
CANDYLAND!!! Also, those flying fairy things…. Skydancers, I think they were called. Though I remember hearing that they were recalled for causing too many injuries, haha. And I liked the trolls! You just can’t have too many of them…
guest
I owned every single toy on the list… including trolls. My Tamagotchi was always dead in the mornings, I had so many Beanie Babies it’s not even funny, I think my Gak was raspberry-scented (was that a Gak scent?), and the worst day ever was when my cousins intentionally broke my brother’s Stretch Armstrong.
Oh, childhood memories…
Great list!
guest
awww i remember all of the toys except for the POGs.. The Troll dolls were creepy.. :T
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - Chia pets?
Super soakers! I still have all of mine!
guest
You forgot Furby. OMG those things were creepy.
guest
hhahaha trolls are so ugly too
orchid / 209 posts
furbies? and Bubba…
Anyway I still have a tamagotchi. In working order… I allow kiddos to play with it on my keychain when were standing in line at the grocery store or something.
guest
for some reason a year ago i decided i wanted to play with my tamagotchi…the original one. when i couldn’t find it, i went on ebay and bought a new one. i didn’t open it, ended up finding my old, and still haven’t played with it yet. nostalgia.
guest
ah i was too much of a girly girl for half that stuff
tamigotchis i loved my sister and our cousin had them attached to our coats and everything!
i was surrounded by the nice animals from sylvanians – none of these baboon or whatever they look like now!
lego – yeah i made theme parks and slides and cafes.. dont get me wrong i did use the crocodiles once in a while!
barbies – im so suprised i grew up not sensitive to that pink colour – every time my eyes see it i expect them to burn! but i did love my barbies and the shelleys they were cute!
beanie babies – i dressed mine up
yoyos – ahh i could never do it but mine was sparkly!!!
teeny weeny families – however old i was they were cute and tiddly but kept getting lost cos they were too small!
cant remember much else, i was prancing around in tutus being a prima ballerina
– pretty much what i do now. lol
guest
I loved my little ponies and puppy in my pockets. I also had a lot of TY beanie babies. My mom sold them at her little store, so I got one each week.
guest
Some stupid bitch stole my tamagochi. What a whore.
I miss those toys, I am so in the mood for a skip-it. Do they still make them?
guest
sadly, i had too many of these haha
guest
One more toy I CANNOT miss: FURBIES.
Those things were fucking creepy. They would “turn off” and you’d put them away, only to be woken up in the middle of the night by “Furby looooves you!” in that odd garbled voice they had.
Scary, man.
guest
My stretch armstrong totally ripped and lost his icky nonsense everywhere. Sad day.
guest
bahaha loovvee troll dolls + skip its. and have soo many beanie babies (all still with tags on them!) yeah they probably wont be collector’s items until maybe 100 years later.
guest
oh my god i remember some of this stuff. ♥
guest
i miss the 90′s!
guest
SEGA GENESIS. Omg those games were epic. They just don’t make ‘em like that no more! I am not at all ashamed to admit that I still have my Sega Genesis megadrive, and that to this day I still sometimes sit down and play it ;)
Also, I miss the 90s Barbie dolls. I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but in my opinion, Barbie’s are so crappy these days. (Yes, every once in a while I walk down the Barbie aisle and see what’s there.) The dolls faces are cheaply painted, the accessories are limited, and to me, none of it looks all that fun to play with! When I was little, I remember walking down the Barbie aisle at Toys R Us and seeing endless possibilites for Barbie. Veternarian Barbie, astronaut Barbie, Barbie playsets, Barbie houses, Barbie cars, Barbie horses…it’s just not the same! In particular, I miss the Generation Girl dolls. Man they were cool.
Someday I will probably look at my kids toys and go, “You know, when I was your age, I had WAY cooler toys!” Lol. I’m kidding, I won’t, but I will sure be tempted to!
guest
omg, i miss all those toys! haha.. I played with evry single one as a kid and still have beanie babies laying arond here.. i always said id sell em
guest
Troll dolls always gave me the creeps. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I know I have a box of beanie babies at my mom’s house too, ha!
guest
what about the furbies?! one toy i dont want to come back either!
guest
Some of these may not be 90′s creations. I’m pretty sure I had Hungry Hungry Hippos when I was a kid. In the 70′s.
guest
man i do miss the 90′s i was what 5- 8 years old during that era . I used to have one troll, the supersoak machine. lol just to have me a throwback i listen to vanilla ice and all those 90′s old skool music.
guest
i remember the tamagotchies! ^_^ my friend had a skip-it and mom would never let us have super soakers
as for hungry hungy hippos…. i used to break the game cause i wanted them all lol
guest
@fire_poet86@xanga - i also reverse time for a bit listening to the 90′s songs!!!
guest
Oh beanie babies. I remember rushing to the stores to buy them each time a new one came out. I was so angry when they didn’t stop making them when they said they would.
guest
I miss all of those too… and although I didn’t collect troll dolls because of their creepiness, I do miss them. They all remind me of the good ol’ days.
guest
I remember all of these except the stretch armstrong. I used to want a tamagotchi sooo bad, but my parents wouldn’t buy me one, haha!
orchid / 197 posts
I was at a very young age during the 90′s and after some time, plastic cooking ware and Barbie’s are my toys..
guest
oh my, were trolls always absolutely nude like that? That’s disturbing.
guest
Awwww, this made me sad! I though Furbies were creepy…
guest
I fucking hated Ferbies.
guest
LEGO and GI Joe were all I needed.
guest
Oh man I miss the 90′s SO MUCH! I wanted a Tamagotchi or Nano Pet really bad but I never got one. I thought my parents would give in since I was never allowed a live pet because my dad didnt’ want animals in the house, but no. Apparently digital pets were a waste of money. Sigh.
I did have a Skip It and that very super soaker, both from yard sales, and they were my favorite thing ever! And I spent most of my allowance on Pogs and then ended up throwing them out when I got to high school haha. Beanie Babies and trolls were kinda pricey though. But my hubby has tons of Beanie Babies from his childhood and I took them over when we got married lol. Also we have a couple Toronto Blue Jays trolls that we found at a yard sale last year. I don’t think they’re ugly at all!
guest
The troll dolls have always scared me :O mega creepy.
guest
Nickelodeon really did embody the 90′s lol. I miss the 90′s…always wanted a skip-it!
guest

Ah memories however I loved troll dolls!
guest
i just tried looking for more super soakers last night. The ones they make now days are weak compared to the 90′s. I think the strongest one they made was in 1996, my friend had it and it was powerful.
guest
OMG super soakers!
orchid / 155 posts
uhmmm…POKEMON?!?!
But the originals. Blue, Red, Yellow. Not the silver / diamond / cyan / whatever colored games they have now that have 3 billions pokemon.
Uhm, how about mouse trap? i just set it up to knock it down.
guest
oh haiii…. I still miss my Transformers from the 80s-90s!
guest
TAMOGATCHI WAS MY SHIT! Although it always died while I was at school. :[ I remember resetting it eeeveryday at my babysitters house & playing with it foreeever until I had to go home. x)
BEANIE BABIES! OMFG. <3 I remember me & my mom collected them & I was in love with Doby. :] I carried him EVERYWHERE. That is, until I lost him. :[
Super soakers alwaaays came in handy at family functions. (;
POGS. (: I remember I had them, but had no idea what to do with them. x_____x
Oh, how I miss those days. <3
guest
With the exception of Hungry Hungry Hippos, I believe I had all of these at one point. I hate how Gak only seemed to last about 10 minutes until it got all full of hair and small rocks.
The only thing missing from this list is K’Nex! Anyone remember the commercial for the Big Ball Factory?
guest
@valeriexoxjoleen@xanga - more fun than a pillow fight!
guest
Pogs are the most unknown toy ever, and it kind of breaks my heart,
sunflower / 499 posts
I miss tha pogs & giga pets!!
guest
I remember furbies. One time i had it on my desk when i was trying to sleep and i know i turned that thing off but it opened it eyes and started talking. CREEPY!!! lol i threw the thing away lol I also remember barney that thing also scared me lol i had a barney doll that talked and my older brother and sister made me believe that thing was REAL! so i got scissors and stabbed the heck out of that thing and threw it away. yes they were cruel to me lol
guest
Super Soakers and Lego and I still play with them at 23….sometimes.
guest
whoaaaa the trolls are creepy.
guest
I am so happy to know that I am not the only one that misses the ’90s ^^
guest
The 90′s was good =]
guest
@Bee - you would have hated me lol I had 23 furbies/baby furbies & also had a shelby lol i think my parents still might have a few of the furbies left, i’ll have to get them to mail a couple to me one day lol i miss them
guest
I’d take trolls over furbies aaannnnyy day.
orchid / 156 posts
I totally did the troll thing. I do miss all of these….badly. don’t miss the furbys though
guest
I forgot allll about GAK and Skip-It. My mom has three shoe boxes filled with Troll Dolls hidden in the kitchen… O_o
guest
Tamagotchi ftw <3
guest
@lizettey@xanga - Haha, MORE FUN THAN A PILLOW FIGHT!
@Secretcalifornia@xanga - All the small Polly Pockets were recalled, too. They don’t make them anymore. Kids these days are such pussies! They don’t even put woodchips on their playgrounds for fear they’ll get something in their eyes! Us 90′s kids are tough.
guest
I really liked this doll called “Sally Secrets & Penny Secrets (?)” (I think that’s what it was called). Where there were several hidden parts of the doll that had stamps, stickers, markers, stationary etc.
I also like “Penny Pocket” a lot. Those were fun to play with ‘on-the-go.’
I also remembered these bracelets that you slap on your wrist and the curls up immediately (forgot what it was called).
guest
What year did the Furby come out??.. he was one creepy doll lol He would just randomly start talking and scaring me half to death in the middle of the night.
guest
Love this. My mom hated the trolls(thought they looked like little demons) so I never had them. She also hated the giga pets/tamagochis(this is what I get for an educator as a mom). Hungry Hungry Hippos was my game! Also, can’t forget the Little Tykes kitchen and car, all the other Nicklodeon horrible smelling play-doh products(smud anyone?) Light Brites, Magna Doodles and Quints.
guest
I don’t think I ever heard of Gak before, but everything else brings back fond memories!!
guest
everything but the gak i had. hated trolls soooooooo much i thought they were the ugliest little things, but i loved tamagotchis, i remember when i was in the 3rd grade i got this bear that smelt like blueberrys and you had to feed it its bottle and it would cry when it was hungry and stuff and i had it in my backpack and the class was in the middle of doing work or a presentation and all you could hear was that bear making noise. I fed it and it didnt bother me the rest of the school day.
man i miss those days.
guest
Moon shoes. (:

OMGOOOSSHH I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE BEANIE BABIES!!!

guest
What? The Troll dolls are cute (:
guest
I don’t miss trolls either.
guest
Super soakers were great fun!
guest
HAHAHA!!!!!!!!This really sent me down memory lane, I loved hungry hungry hippos!
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - Maybe you’re thinking of Chia Pets?
guest
YESS!
I WANT A TAMOGOTCHI BACK!
sunflower / 293 posts
dude…… I totally forgot about pogs
guest
You’ve made me remember my childhood. So sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Thanks Jessica
guest
OMG I miss tomagotchi too! It was my most favorite thing when I was young. I had a baby, and I feed it and changed it diapers. Ooh, I got so mad when I found out someone threw it into the toilet! It disturbed me for weeks. =’(
And slime from nickelodeon was cool too..
guest
There is sooo much stuff from the 90′s that I miss. Troll dolls [I actually liked them], beanie babies, Furbees, Sit and Spins, Skip its [I had two of them. A red sparkly one and a purple sparkly one! ^_^], Nano pets….And the list just keeps going on.
guest
Bean babies, super soakers, POGs and NERF.
my childhood
guest
“What other toy could you play with while simultaneously trying to trip your sister?” I loled.
guest
@valeriexoxjoleen@xanga - were those the boxing gloves or the blow up things that come back up when u knock them down?
orchid / 140 posts
@Mgcjj@xanga - the boxing gloves :]
guest
@valeriexoxjoleen@xanga - oh yeah those were awesome!..and also kind of dangerous. some kids really really punched:-{
guest
Troll dolls were just ugly.
Now Furbies, those were creepy. I had mine randomly come to life to tell me it hated me soooooo many times. I still worry that it’ll come out from under my bed and stab me one day…
guest
Oh wow, flashback central! I do miss the Tamagotchis and all their spinoffs – I had one that had 2 pets, a dog and a cat. I still have lots of Beanie Babies, but they’re in a storage bin in my closet… :\ Poor things. At least they’re safe.
guest
hooooooooly crap.
90s
peony / 4 posts
lol! pogs sucked, but i do miss the tamagochis and i always wanted a super soaker that i didn’t ever get. ahhh troll dolls. i loved mine because he was one of the few toys i had.
thanks for this post. loved this small cloud of memories.
guest
Awesome!
guest
the only thing fun about troll dolls were their hair.
you can bend them in funky shapes. besides that, they’re hideous.
and.. i miss playing with POGs! i had so many nice slammers..
guest
Aww, I remember my pink skip-it. Whatever happened to those? Ditto on the trolls. I had one and tried to destroy it but it always ended up back where I didn’t want it. Staring at me on the nighttable. God, they’re creepy. Naked, freaky hair and a gem on the bellybutton.. what any little kid saw appealing in that is beyond me. *nightmares*
guest
I was looking in my closet and found Stretch Armstrong’s dog, Fetch Armstrong. Poor thing was done for, the corn syrup went bad. Had to finally trash it
guest
these are all the things i used to beg for for hanukkah! ahhh now its talking robots and dolls that look like hookers..
guest
i used to eat the syrup out of stretch armstrong because i told it was non toxic.bagak
guest
I had them all!!! Born in ’88. I had a TON of POGs…..though I had no idea how to play with them. I remember there were shiny/thick plastic ones, and then then thin cardboard ones.
guest
omg tamagotchis!!!! aka Gigapets! those were one of my favorite toys back in the 90s! i had a fish and dog one but my brother’s friend broke the dog one -____- and yes, nickelodeon was the cultural embodiment of the 90s. i pretty much watched every show on nickelodeon (favorite: Rugrats/ Kenan&Kel) I also wanted an EasyBake oven really bad but my mom wouldn’t let me have one since she read the electrocution warning on the side panel of the box. =(
guest
aww i miss pogs and beanie babies too!
guest
LOL! I just enjoyed clicking on the link to Ty, it is very ghetto considering apparently they made bazillions of dollars in the 90s…they have a line called “pinkys” now, which appears to just be all their old stuff put through the wash with a few red socks.
guest
i love this :’) so true!
guest
How could you possibly not like the Trolls!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
They are the COOLEST! actually they have been around since the 70s’.
I know that was before your time but come on………………….
Troll figures are COOL and they always have been. Clearly one of the greatest useless items we have been bombarded with from China or Taiwan or whatever country got it past their EPA to run a plastic factory and create those Thug toys…….long before there were Gremlins, there were the Trolls.
Did I mention they have possibly the most AWESOME toy hair of ALL TIME……………OMG!
guest
tamas are my favorite. I remember there were different types to choose from like chicken, dinosaurs and even human babies, i probably still have mine somewhere in the closet.
guest
the economy was aight, cartoons were excellent, music was awesome, no super major wars….
guest
@the_shame_of_ucd@xanga - and don’t forget super nintendo and sega genesis!
guest
My mom never got me a Tamagotchi. She thought it was a nonsense device that would distract us from all our normal activities, and not to mention spoil our eyesight. I still want one now, just because it looks like a very clean and easy pet to have.
Troll dolls are really ugly. If not for the hair, which I like mutilating, I would not even touch it.
I don’t know if these are from the 90′s, but I miss Lasy (building blocks for the older kids, with parts that are more mechanical than Lego), and Beast Wars action figures (they are like Transformers, but in the form of animals).
guest
OMG – I haven’t thought about these toys in a long time…. stretch armstrong? I know i had one or two of those. Thanks for the article. Takes me back
guest
This blog makes me want to go and find that tamagotchi I’ve misplaced. Who says college students can’t have pets in their apartments!? Mine comes without the smells and allergies :3
And yes, trolls still scare me. I think I gave mine to a friend who liked them. She was weird. Still is.
guest
I love troll dolls and miss mine…
guest
Tamagotchi was awesome, but that Stretch Armstrong.
Sorry but I totally disagree, I thought it was scary. Very scary.
guest
Man trolls would have to be the best thing on this list!
guest
A lot of these are actually still around, or variations of them are.
My son JUST got hungry hungry hippos for his birthday a couple days ago… he LOVES it, but all the “hippo food” is quickly going missing and i’m finding them under couches, behind bookcases etc. i wonder if i could get “replacement food” if needed?
I would LOVE to get my son a Stretch Armstrong… he absolutely LOVES these stretchy type of toys… he has a stretchy dragon, an elephant and a batman character who i believe is named Mr. Plastic.
My son thinks these are the greatest toys in the world.
guest
omgggg good old times <3
guest
I feel old, b/c I missed the boat on a lot of these toys (except for skip-it and trolls, both classics). For me, my favorite toys of the 90s (and 80s) were: Alfie, American Girl Dolls, Polly Pocket, My Little Pony, Lite Brite, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Care Bears, Colorforms, Spirograph, Pound Puppies, Teddy Ruxpin, Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys…
Any one remember/love these?
guest
The teachers often speak of the four skills- listening, speaking, reading and writing. That means each of them is important. You can’t say that you have mastered the language without any one of them, Listening, one of the means ofed hardy bags language communication, is used most widely in people’s daily lives. About 45%of an adult’s time concerns listening to other peopleed hardy clothing , listening to the radio, listening ted hardy perfume the music. In linguistics ,giving the students a lot of listening activities is a good way of enlarging their vocabulary.
guest
I loved my troll doll. And pogs were amazing. I had one of those fairy things that had a string that you pulled and when you let go its wings came out and it flew across the room. I can’t remember what they were called. And I had a bazillion polly pockets. Actually I think I still have them somewhere.
guest
@thighgap90@xanga - Polly Pockets were so much fun. I have no idea where I stored mine, but I wouldn’t be ashamed to bust them out again
guest
Crossfire… CROSSFIYAAAHHHH!!!!
guest
OH MY GOD I FORGOT ALL ABOUT SKIP ITS.
and I love Tomagochis they’re so fun!
guest
furbies: P
guest
Super Soakers and Troll Dolls!!
guest
What happened where did all this goodies disappear to?
guest
Remember Koosh Balls and those Koosh ball people? Those were awesome, along with yout other choices. I had all of those toys. Thank you for making this post and bringing back wonderful memories.
guest
lmao those troll dolls i still have a bunch of them in my garage…. and i remeber playing with those tamagotchi toys i loved thoses haha, but i always lost theme or broke them :[ lmao i think if i dig in my garage i would probably be able to find almost all of those things :]
guest
I totally remember POGs! I don’t remember what the hell you did with them though lol. My gramma collected those damn trolls…my cousins and I each got one of the ones she had when she died..so I have one of them still, but only as a memory of her. I loved Gak! I would so buy it if I could find it lol.

Haha, troll dolls. Jimmy Fallon’s troll doll jingles are hilarious. Look on youtube.
guest
i memory had barely kicked in at the end of 90s but i remember troll dolls. my cousin used to stuff the head in my mouth and i’d end up with a mouthful of hair, ew.

tamagotchi!!!! I used to have a Rugrats one! :[
guest
My favorites were Hungry Hungry Hippos, The Supersoaker and Trolls. Gosh those were the days!
guest
Awesome post. Thanks for the memories.
guest
Pretty sure Stretch Armstrong and the Hungry-Hungry Hippo game were much older than the 90s.
guest
i don’t get why u miss them. i can get practically all of these. unless u mean u don’t get to PLAY with them anymore. nonethless, i’d still play with them. i don’t care. i got a supersoaker a couple years ago. maybe the pogs u can’t get. i still see beanies around… maybe not beanie BABIES but i know they’re in the stores. tamagotchis they still have. i saw a kid carrying it & i know there are different versions of it. but maybe not exactly tamagotchi but i think the ones now are better. mine always grewup to be ugly as hell. they needed to change those!! i’m pretty sure u can still buy skip it & hungry hippos. i don’t see why they wouldn’t keep manufacturingn them… they have the template & models…
guest
Haha, I remember all of that stuff. We still have a bunch of Beanie Babies lying around the house, still with the hope that some day we can sell them all for more than a dollar. Trolls are really creepy, but I still have one or two. D:
guest
i love this post
guest
I’m a 90s kid. God do I miss the 90s. We had the cool toys. I remember having troll dolls,beanie babies,skip it,gak,stretch armstrong, hungary hungary hippos,pog, and barbies.Those where the good old toys. I remember my older brother had a stretch armstrong I pull the hell out of that thing.Ohh do I miss being a little girl playing with my barbies those where the best.
guest
One of the toys I really miss is the moon shoes. Those were all the rage in the 90s, you’d see them on tv all the time. One thing I don’t miss? Furbies, they never shut up.
guest
Wow..you really brought back memories for me..thanks!
guest
NO nano talking pets are way better than tamogachis!
guest
i remember theseeee… and furbies my sister and i used to play poker and she won my furbie, i was sad about that. not that i had any idea how to play poker at the time, stupid thing to do. and tonka trucks, they were metal then though, not plastic, we also had the bouncy ball game with all the things you’d throw on the floor, bounce the ball and pick up as many as you could, can’t remember what it was called though. we usually got them at birthday parties in the little party bags. polly pocket was all the rage, and cabbage patch kids, along with those plastic babies that would pee water after you gave them a bottle and you’d have to change the diaper. i also remember having an easy bake oven in the later 90s. and then with cartoons… i remember watching Ahhh Monsters and the Animaniacs a lot. I spent half my childhood trying to beat Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, along with Super Mario 64, and later I started to play things like Turok on the 64. I miss those days.
guest
Ha, I miss all of these too! FRICKEN POGS! What were the real heavy ones called again?
guest
Love the post! I had EVERY single one of these. Maybe even a troll or two but they were buried deep in my toybox. Trolls and carebears…. they scare me. Yes, carebears… I don’t know why but they freak me out. I had the Pizza gak. Now when I think back, that’s when I started getting heartburn. lol. I had like 5 tamagotchis and even a rugrats one. I always had to reset because I always killed them.
What about the Furbies? I hated those things. Always whining that they’re hungry or bored. I wish someone would’ve told me that’s what kids are like. lol. (JK, I really do love my daughter.)

Love each of these! But the troll is kinda ghetto & scary.
guest
What about Furbies?
guest
Hey!! I loved my troll dolls!!!
guest
Love this post! I immediately thought of Tamagotchi’s when I read the title. Right on
guest
Awwwww!!! I remember all of these! XD Haha. I liked the trolls, though. I thought they were cute. My main collections were my little ponies and the trolls.
Man… I miss those days!
Do you guys remember the days of being entertained by the toys that didn’t move much? Man… Whatever happened to that stuff? Haha
*hugs* Thanks for helping me to recall good memories,
~*Akarui Mitsukai*~

Oh, I so miss my ’90s childhood, too! Polly Pocket, and my Treasure Troll who wore a pink ballerina costume, had turquoise hair and a little gemstone for a belly button, were my favorite. I loved playing Skip It with friends…and doing those little iron-on things with the plastic beads…does anyone remember what those were called? You’d arrange them into a heart or a star or something, then run an iron over them, and it would mold into shape…I miss the games I used to play, too–the really old fashioned Trivial Pursuit from the ’80s, Junior Monopoly, Clue, etc. Wish I were a kid again!
cherry blossom / 25 posts
Hungry Hungry Hippos and Skip It I remember the most!
Skip It was like Bop It’s sister, I guess xD burned way more calories too, lol.
“Nickelodeon was basically the cultural embodiment of the 90′s” – Agreed, and the key word there is “was”
*edit*Furbies, yeah!!! Still want one since I didn’t get one when I was little ;w;And a Gameboy color, too!
Anyone remember Betty Spaghetti?
guest
I have TY toys! My family got them for me almost every christmas and birthday!….come to think of it….they still do….lol!
And i have 2 Tamagochi’s.
*Talking to the trolls* No, i don’t hate you, it’s just….no your right, i do hate you. :’)
My sister had one of them once…i think it had green hair….
guest
pogs n skip it. i remember my mom was cleaning out one of her closets and found a giant container of them. i played with them forever after that. then she threw em out! D:
guest
oo brings back memories!! i remember all of these!
guest
I miss pogs the most of all!
orchid / 123 posts
The 90′s were so awesome and Nickelodeon made the decade a great time for kids. For some reason I was thinking that you were going to list the furby as the 90′s toy that you don’t miss. I never had one, but I had so many friends that became totally creeped out by theirs.
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - Chias?
guest
this is a cute post.
i miss tamagotchis too but i think toys r us still sells them.

I had a tamagotchi (one of the newest versions, too) but then after a while, I just found how pointless it was.
guest
This is my childhood!

HAHAHA POGS!!!!! classic i was a pog champion…made the philadelphia daily news for it and everything….ah the good ol’ days
orchid / 209 posts
What tamagotchis? I still have one… 90s?
I keep it on my keychain so when I’m somewhere waiting (with my little niece) lol. She doesn’t get bored. She says “Aunt Chelsea…. you killed it again”. And pogs…. man I have searched every flea market on the east coast for those… And no success. Hmph… My friend broke her arm on skip it, just because she sucked, so I was never allowed to play with it again. Nice going.
guest
What?! Trolls were awesome! (I’m basically required to say that–I have a giant Hefty bag full of them . . . somewhere.)
And Furbies were adorable! Don’t diss the Furbies.
You’re dead on with the rest, though. The 90s were awesome, in all their nerdy glory. XD
I still have my beanie babies! Lol:) And Guess Who and Hungry Hungry Hippos and . . . Wow, I really need to start selling stuff. Lmao:)
guest
omg! I only had about…hmm..over 50 of the beanie babies! my favorite 90s toy definetely. and I liked furbys as well xP
guest
OMG, the skip it!!!
guest
Ahhh, the good old days. Born and raised in the wonderful 90′s era. I had forgotten about Tamoghochi’s up until this post – I always killed whichever pet, my favourite was the dinosaur. He’d hatch and poo all over and go hungry uuntil I realized it was too late to save him and i saw those X’s over his eyes. I still have some Beanie Babies I kept as collectables, I remember when it was “cool” to own as many as you could. Funny how time flies. Now all kids want are cellphones and computers. They need to get out more.
guest
POG and Tamagotchi omg ! I remember 1990′s rules !!!!!!!!!!
guest
how the eff are u missing ferbie from this list?
guest
I love the trolls and I still got one.
guest
So True!
guest
I had all of these! Great post, aw nostalgia!
guest
I actually went to look at Ty’s “slightly ghetto” website and omg..it still has the same background on some of its pages as it did back in the 90s!! That wavey rainbow stuff…omg..wow..thats sad.
guest
I’m so surprised I didn’t see Furby on here…
but you know what? I was thinking about trying to bring back Tomagotchi’s.
True story.
guest
You are taking me back, and it’s awesome. I remember begging my parents for Moon Shoes, boy did I look ridiculous when I wore those to Sunday school.
guest
“too young for NKOTB, too old for Barney the Dinosaur” describes my age perfectly (1984). ALL of those toys are iconic but I don’t get how you don’t think treasure trolls are cute. I’m pretty sure I had like four of them lol.
guest
love tomagotchis! i bought one on ebay a few years ago and played with obsessively until i broke it.
guest
O god, POGS<3333
guest
I loved tamagotchi’s the most among all toys!! My sister bought me one when i was a kid and I got really addicted to it!!
guest
I was pretty wee when the 90′s ended, but I remember these!
Outdoor Fountains
guest
I loved trolls :3

I miss the 90s
sunflower / 272 posts
Yep, I fell old(er) now. lol
I had everything on here except Stretch Armstrong. It honestly didn’t appeal to me. I remeber Furbies, too. I still have alot of this stuff and the funny thing is that it gets played with by my nieces, nephews and younger cousins.
Up until last year I still had that very same Super Soaker. It finally broke after all those years! Its okay because I got a new one.
Gotta keep those kids, and my fiance, on their toes!

@ShelbyJoJewelry@xanga - Lisa Frank was the ultimate girls “thing” in the 90′s. I was clearing out some stuff in my office and found a few folders and notebooks from WAY back. lol

creepy crawlers the one that we can eat haha so gross… and Polly pockets and those Hot wheel pockets thing!
guest
ahhh I miss Tamagotchi’s! I remember them getting banned in my elementary school cuz kids kept playing with them under their desks instead of learning things
guest
Oh man, this brought back so many memories! I think I tried out all of those at one point or other. Tamagotchis were such a huge obsession for me, I had SO many!
Anyways, this was a fun read.
guest
@carolina_sunset@xanga - i remember beanie babies orginating as the surprise in a happy meal from mcdonalds… when they became collector items, my mother dug thru the toy box to snatch them out. ha! i miss skip it!
guest
Also a few from the 80s that carried over into the 90s: My Little Pony and Care Bears! My all time favorites
guest
Haha, Gak…I totally forgot about that! My mom and I were JUST talking about Beanie Babies and how excited everyone would get when they had them at McDonald’s. My mom would drive to so many different McDonald’s to collect different ones. Yup, those were the good old days!
guest
does anyone remember the board game “dizzy dizzy dinosaur?” where there was a little dinosaur you wound up and it spun around over the board knocking off pieces? … maybe thats just me. I was super young then, it was probably the 90′s tho.
guest
i miss gigapets!

Oh, the 90s. Simpler times, how I miss you!!!!!1

I miss Sky Dancers!!

We had Skip-It in the 60′s too! And, weirdly enough, I still have mine. Wonder if it’s worth anything? Would it be considered an antique?
