Children of the 80s are known to have been one of the weirdest and most adventurous generations. They are also known to have had some of the greatest toys...

1
Lite-Brite,This iconic toy is in the memories of every single kid who lived in the 80s.

2
Teddy Ruxpin,What 80s kid would say no to a lovable, talking teddy bear?

3
My Pet Monster,This endearing little doll was cute, furry and blue. It was the teddy bear for kids who didn’t want to actually have a teddy bear.

4
Garbage Pail Kids,1985 saw the advent of one of the most parent-hated toys the 80s ever saw. These toys were a vicious mockery of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.

5
Madballs,Riding on the heels of the Garbage Pail Kids craze, Madballs was another toy designed almost specifically in an effort to allow kids to gross out and terrify their parents and sisters.

6
Boglins,From popular movies like Ghoulies, Gremlins and Critters, the Boglins line were a series of toys distributed by Mattel.

7
Transformers,In the 1980s, there didn’t seem to me a single kid in the United States that didn’t know about Transformers. They were an instant household name and continue their franchise to this very day.

8
Tiger Electronics Games,Any gamer kid in the 1980s made at least one venture into the exciting new world of hand-held video games. Each and every one of those kids met with a mixture of excitement and inevitable frustration.

9
Mr. Potato Head,Even though Mr. Potato Head was developed and distributed by Hasbro beginning in 1952, it cannot be denied that any kid worth his salt in the 1980s had one. Most of the time, they were missing an eye or an arm or other limb or accessory.

10
Talking Pee-Wee Herman Doll,Like many dolls of its time, the creep factor of this particular doll was easily noticed. Huge eyes, pale skin and an air that vaguely reminds you of the doll from the Saw franchise.

11
Heroquest,Move over, Dungeons & Dragons! Heroquest was yet another great board game that helped to bring the 1980s out with a bang.

12
The Talking Alf Doll,Who doesn’t remember Alf? That lovable alien from the planet Melmac who lands in the garbage of a typically suburban family. He’s lovable, furry and an absolute cat lover.

13
Nintendo Game Boy, It has a brilliant greenish screen and dark colored 8-bit graphics and stereo sound that were the dreams and nightmares of any true gamer of the age.

14
Micro Machines,The commercials were awesome! John Moschitta who was, at the time, in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s fastest talker, would describe at 586 words a minute what they were.

15
Nintendo Entertainment System,On July 15, 1983, the living room of every family was changed forever. No matter who you were at the time, someone you knew had an NES.
