Oh my good God! That top one was called Baby Beans because their body was a bean bag. This was my very first doll. I might have a tear in my eye.
I can still remember being in the shop and choosing my one. There were 3 in pink, yellow and orange outfits.

I'd forgotten all about this- I loved it! My eldest would love this, I'll have to see if I can find anything similar.

I had this bedroom set
I had all of my sisters hand me downs and I remember playing with this with my Barbies! I remember one of the legs being broken on the dressing table and getting annoyed having to balance it against something.
I also cut Sindy’s hair to make her into one of Barbies boyfriends cos I only had one Ken

I LOVED my Chicaboo! My sister had a girl one and I had a boy one! Wish I’d kept it!

Omg I had this too - that picture has brought back so many memories
Out of curiosity I looked on eBay and Vinted and found one. My daughter is only 2 and a half but I’m going to keep it for when she’s a bit older. My mum had kept mine and loads of other bits but they were ruined by a leak

I'm not sure it was considered a toy exactly but these threads can't go without mentioning that Mr Frosty slushy maker was overhyped cack.
Me and my sister always wanted one and never got it, I know they're crap but I saw one online a while ago and was so tempted to buy it
Anyone remember skip it's? From the early ish 90s? They banned them at my school because so many people got injured a lot of children's toys from thag time were probably quite dangerous compared.to now

God I can feel my fingers getting hit by them still
Lucky it was only your fingers. I loved mine. I do remember them being banned at school though. It must have been dangerous for something to get banned in the '70's.

They were banned at my school too. I liked the skip-it but it didn't half hurt when it clonked your other ankle. I preferred my disco ball (it looked like Saturn and you bounced on it). They banned those too .

This was the much coveted wall of sound. I was so spoiled I had pretty much everything there was to own for Sindy:



I do still buy toys, I have a few care bears kicking about and does anyone remember Wurzel and Aunt Sally with interchangeable heads? I have those too

I am a hoarder though. My daughter used to collect Polly Pocket...
