My favourite childhood toy was my Coca Cola spinner Yo-Yo. Does anyone remember them? There were 2 different styles. There was the Coca Cola Style (or Super... can't quite remember), which was two plastic coca cola circles with a white rim, the Coca Cola Professional, which was the same with a clear rim, and it was slighty heavier than the Style. The Styles cost £1.50 and the Professionals cost £1.99. There was an exclusive one as well, the Gold Spinner. You could only get these by finding the letter G under your ring pull. I was lucky enough to find one, and it was the best one you could ever have. They each came with a little booklet illustrating 10 tricks which you had to master. I mastered 7 of them. The other 3 were virtually impossible, especially The Four Leave Clover. Fanta and Sprite did some too, but they weren't as sucessful as Coca Cola. Everyone I knew had one, and they were a must have toy for any kid. I wish I'd kept mine. That was my classic toy

My favourite toy was a dolls house shaped like a flatened out bungalow, all the rooms on one level and open plan.

Mine was something I never actually owned, despite harrassing my parents for ever and a day, and begging and pleading at Christmas and my birthday. I always wanted a 'Mr Frosty' slush maker....I seemed to think it would be the height of sophistication for me and my friends (kind of like a 6 year old's cocktail party?!?!) The other day I actually saw one in the window of a charity shop, and it brought the memories flooding back.......I was soooooooooo tempted, despite being 34!

my All time favourite toy was my Six Million dollor Man Action figure, and the extra's the space ship, always loved it, , but also my Racing bike the Greatest Chopper

My favorite toy was my little teddy bear. I loved it so much he last his fur, when I was ill I rubed Vic onto his chest (because that is what my mom did to me). But one bay my horrid dog shook him so much that he landed up in the fire. I was heart broken, no other teddy could ever replace Peter Bear.

i had a space hopper for one day because my brother and his mates used a kitchen knife on it and it broke my heart but now im36 and bigger than him now.

My favourtie toy as a child were PIPPA DOLLS and tiny tears doll in a swing, I used to spend hours dressing them up. I don't have them now because my mum gave them away but my friend still has her's.

My favourite toy had to be a girls world. I used to love putting on her make up and dying her hair loads of mad colours. Only problem was I soon ran out of the products supplied and decided to use my mums very expensive make-up instead. She was not very pleased!

hi my fav toy was my cuddly chatter chimp.when you pushed his tummy he would say various phrases.my favorite being "GIVE US A BANANA MUNCH MUNCH"which me and my family still say

My favourite toy was 'Rolf Harris' Xylophone'. Couldn't afford a piano but both my twin sister and I got a Xylophone each. You should have heard the noise we made when playing 'Danny Boy'. My mum rued the day but we thought it was great.

my favorite toy was my cradle which my parents made themselves for me and my sister..... it was made by my dad from a metal frame and bound with, a old bridesmades dress from a jumble sale and made with , beatifull drapes and inside was a beatifull baby doll from woolworths....and mum had knitted us lots of baby clothes we played , with them for years...best ever toy i ever had sandie ......

Growing up my favourite toy was my little brother. He required no batteries and was always available to play and blame whenever I got up to mischief

The great thing about this toy is that whenever I was sad, he would always make me happy and he always played monopoly with me during the winter months and didn’t complain when I cheated.

I still have this toy and you know what, I don’t think I will ever grow too old to play with it!

My favorite toy when I was young was my Six Million Dollor Man figure. For those old enough to remember he had a roll back piece of rubber on his arm that when rolled back exposed his "amazing" bionic circuits. To really add to the enjoyment though was the hole on the back of his head that meant you could look through it and see through his "bionic" eye!!!!!!
Marvelous

My favourite retro toy was simon says you cant get them anymore i liked it as you had to use your brain to remember the patterns to press on the circular panel great fun wish i still had it

My favorite Toy was Ker-Plunk!! Me and my sister used to argue so much because we used to get so tense and if i lost i used to poke her with the sticks!

My favourit toy was a Tressy doll and her sister Toots. Still got them somewhere. Used to love doing their hair long and then short and then long again.

my bestest toy was an action man army tank. i luvvvvvved sitting on the turret and rolling down my street with my toy rifle playing war

my aunt knitted a clown doll for me and named him ding-a-ling as he had bells on the ends of his arms and legs . i adored him and took him everywhere with me - i was a terrible thumb sucker and used to pick the wool between thumb and finger .... it was lovely !!!!!!

My favourite toy was our box o' lego! - that is until my cat got ill and relieved itself in the box : - no amount of cleaning could rectify the incident (evening using toothbrushes to get in to the little inside bits!) - we had to get rid of it . I was gutted


I still cant look at Lego nowadays without thinking of that wretched day

My favourite toy was a Space 1999 "eagle" model, in which I gained by swapping my well-used star-wars sand-speeder.
Hours of fun ensued but in the end, it was time to send the eagle into the fires of destruction, by purchasing a fine box of bluebell matches for 5 pence ( this could still be achieved at the age of 9, ah the 70's!!!), finding a small corner in a disused basement stair off the main street, bulding a small boy-scout fire and sending the eagle, along with the poor occupants to a flaming death.
On examining the melting plastic of my favourite toy it seemed that I had indeed made a mistake but alas it was too late..... If only Cmdr. John Koenig had warned me of the impending doom, I still may have my cherished "eagle" as a reminder of that great decade..............

My favourite was stretch armstrong because you could strrrrrrrrettttchhhhhh as far as possible and then let go and he went back to his original shape! Brilliant!!!!

its quite hard to decide what was my ab fab fav toy as a child i think if i was totally honest it would have to be MY LITTLE PONY
i loved it so much. i learnt how to plat hair on them as my mum wouldnt let me have a sindy or barbie doll it was the next best thing.....

That was until one of my 3 older brothers decided it would be really funny to chop all the hair off them.
Still to this day none of them will own up!!!!
