My favorite toy was my barbie. Its made of rubber unlike others which are plastic. I dont remember the name I gave her but I do remember that I cut her hair so short and put make up on her face. I usually talk to my barbie as if she was my friend. I also dress her up. I dont know what happened to her. We were moving from one to place to another that I lost her. After that I just make paperdolls. lol. But I sure missed my barbie.

Our toys from childhood have a way of doing that. They are so sentimental. I had a Midge doll, but didn't have Barbies untill later on. Barbie, her friends, and her sisters, and Ken, her boyfriend, were all part of our play as kids. And I just remembered one more doll that was quite the craze...trols. Did you have any of the trolls with long hair?

I had lots of toys, especially for being the son of a working class family, but my over all favorite was my ball glove! I kept the same one from 9 years old till I was out of college. Eddie Mathews model!

My favorite childhood toys included my paper dolls. That would have been in the 60's. You rarely see paper dolls anymore, and when you find vintage ones, they can really cost.

My favorite toy when I was a kid would have to be the My Little Ponies. Me and my sister used to collect those ponies during the 90's. Whenever we go to the mall we would always look for the My Little Ponies. We collected different kinds of ponies. The so soft ponies, unicorns, winged ponies, baby ponies, flutter bye-ponies just to name a few. I even shampoo and soap my ponies when taking baths. The hairs of my ponies were tangled maybe because of the shampoo and how I brushed them. I got frustrated because I couldn't make they're hairs straight that I decided to gave them to charity instead. Some of them were already at my sister's room until now.
