Rate the Kid's Toy Above on a scale from 1-10

6

Clue - The Board Game

7/10 it's ok, it's a cool game but also boring compared to other board games out there.

Gumby and Poki bendable toys

4, Never found the attraction towards them.

7/10 I had something similar to that, they're alright but loses their appeal quickly.

Sticky hand stretch party toy

8/10 I LOVED THOSE! Not as versatile as yo-yo, but they're fun. The problem is storage, and getting them dirty, but they look so good you could eat them, but, you shouldn't! Maybe some of the food crumbs you pick up with them are ok.

Beyblades

@infinitehope: Nice haha that's funny @steve40l and I were just talking about them.

9/10 Fun toys for sure, they still make them too. Wasn't there a show or comic connected with them too?

Pogo-Sticks

@arctika: yeah, all the Beyblade versions had animes. There was the original, metal and burst. Each with their own set of characters story and plot

@steve40l: Ah I see, I remembered something but I never watched. Thanks for that info.

9/10 Pogosticks. It's fun taking turns with kids competing until you get the rhythm, and then it can monotonous if you just use to compete for number of jumps since that's easy, but you can probably mix it up with different tricks and maneuvering.

Thanks for covering me! Cool that you guys talked about them! This is such a great thread!

Bop It

@infinitehope: Hey thanks dude appreciate that haha, glad you like it! Bop It I had, it broke though. It was alright I'll say 8/10. They have a mini bob it too now.

Pogs & Slammers, haha.

I honestly have never heard of them, Sorry :(

A Football

6/10 it's fun to throw around but you need a pump every so often or it'll deflate.

11/10 OMG for about two minutes they were the greatest things in the world, after that you put them on the shelf for a while, then it's back to loving them for another two minutes.

Monchichi

I don't know much about the Monchichi lol that name hahaha is too funny haha.😂

The Big Wheel

11/10 Every kid in the world wanted one of those!

Ahh I had quite a few of those, they were fun but the size definitely decreases interest compared to Hot Wheels and Matchbox for sure. Also, they were easier to lose lol.

7/10

The Talkboy

I have honestly never heard of that toy!!! Sorry :(

(Western) Cap Gun

It was famous from Home Alone 2 lol it actually becomes key at the end of the movie since he uses it to secretly record the two baddies telling Kevin their plan lol. He uses it to fool someone too using his dads CC by slowing down the speed which you could do to make your voice sound deeper, more adult.

I have that gun but not the lame ones with the orange thing so it looks obviously like a toy, the oldschool ones without that that look even more real lol. 9/10 for those gun toys!

Boglins(they were 80s and 90's toys, died out then came back in the early 2000's died out again then came back in 2020)

6, I had one, They look absolutely cool but the mouth doesn't move like a puppet should.

Mighty Men & Monster Maker

It's more of a hand puppet it moves but not smoothly the bigger your hand is the harder it is to work it I've noticed lol. It's better for kids.

I had something like that, not sure if it was that one but they're alright 7/10 probably more fun if you're an artist if not you'll probably get bored in like 5 minutes.

Blow dart gun

8/10. Looks fun lol

10, for a baby that was the toy! Unless you were scared of clowns. But once your older you end up tearing it apart to find out where the music comes from.

LOL

Ahh I had one of those, fun stuff shooting your family and friends with them haha

9/10

Mr. Potato head

10/10 for me. Love that bastard.

7, they were great toys even the original ones that were no more than a flashlight with a long tube attached to it. However if you ever try to fight with them or block incoming objects, the old ones would break! Still you felt super cool swinging them!

Romper Stompers

5/10 My cousin had those, I remember we played with them and they broke fast lol.

10 a great toy, especially after you learned how to corrupt it with dirty words.

Toss Across

Ha I remember those 8/10 fun way of playing tic tac toe

Motorcycle toy

8 It was fun as hell, and made you feel like a stunt man, but the problem was you always had to go chase it down to play again!

Remote Control Car

8/10, similar to the motorcycle. Tons of fun but sometimes if the car got stuck somewhere or fell over or something you had to chase it down lol

Pet Rock

1, one of the dumbest gimmicks ever made. I never saw any appeal to such idiocracy.

Glow Sticks

LMAO funny answer haha but hard to argue that.

6/10 They're great at a night club or a block party at night but A. lose their light within hours an B. That stuff is toxic lol so they lose points for that.

Tonka Trucks

Every kid loved those, supposing you have a sandbox = 10

Grabber toy

Haha I had one of those, when you're a kid it's a robot arm grabber toy. When you're old it's a ranged tool for grabbing things lol.

9/10 I used to hide one under my arm sleeves pretending I was a cyborg or something haha

Walking dog wheel toy with leash.

7, great for a toddler but not so much a kid.

Yeah also good for a toddler as well, but 6+ not so much 7/10

Mini Cruiser/mini longboard

4 I call those Ankle Breakers. But to be fair once they made them wider they were maybe a 7.

Metal Fire Truck with Lights and Sounds

They remind me of the hess trucks! 7/10, truck toys are cool but Firetrucks were not my number one pick over the monster trucks or tonka trucks!

Plastic Army Men toys!

11/10 A must for all kids in the 70's , You could spend hours setting them up!
