@@RhettyforHistory i remember getting heman for my birthday wondering why my parents bought me a male strpper doll
@@jonnym4670 lol
My best Christmas was when I was 10, in 1980. I wanted a telescope SO bad and I can down Christmas morning and there it was. My dad had gotten me a really good one and I was so happy. It even had really dark lenses you could use to look at the sun. Best Christmas memory ever. Now, I'd give anything just to have my dad back.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories of what you had!
I hear you I miss my dad so much too. I give anything to see my dad again.
Keep the memory alive I would give all my presents to have my dad back too keep the stories going with the kids and you keep his legacy alive
Exactly the same for me to. I'd give anything to have my dad back.. I miss him so much.
Me too, Missy🕊
Nothing can ever compare growing up as a 1980s & 1990s child! I can feel the Nostalgia high kicking In!! 😁😆🤪✌🏻👍🤘🏻
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
@@RhettyforHistory so what you need to do is tell first of all what kind of clothes (short sleeves of all kinds) you wore in the 80s and 90s and conpare those short sleeves outfits with the outfits you wear on present day..
Give your proper opinions on each..
growing up in any other time
Was good but the start of the end of the world lol.
i born in 1986 & growing up in the 90's where the best i know we had Nes & Snes different years with few games i think we rent a N64 or so at the time
My brother was obsessed with He-man and I was a HUGE She-ra fan. I miss being a kid in the 80s and early 90s! I miss Teddy Ruxspin! I LOVED that toy!
He man is the best I was crazy about it lol my name is Adam and like he man was prince 🤴 Adam I figured it was just like me lol
I always wanted one. I had so many of the heman and shera figures. I still do actually. In a box in my garage…
Same here with He-Man and She-Ra….She-Ra was hot though
You can always find toys you miss online
I have grubby upstairs but idk where teddy went
An important part of Christmas in the 1980s was the Christmas Toy Catalogue from major department stores and Toys R Us. You circled everything you wanted and handed it to your parents hoping they’d buy it all.
Yes! That was always such an awesomely fun thing to do - all while daydreaming that maybe you’d somehow get all the things you’d circled. 😊🎄🦔
Imagine that kids from now probably don't even know what you're talking about. Catalogue? Pen? What's that 😂
@DutchGameHunter actually got a toy catalog in the mail that was from Amazon but was pretty much the same thing. Kid went wild with it. Carried it around all month
I distinctly remember the death of the arcade:
Sitting in a friend's basement playing a game on a console, thinking "Why should I spend my quarters, when I can stay here and play this?"
It really was a game changer. No pun intended. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories.
Yep, I remember thinking that too, while sitting at my friend's house. That was before emulation!
Best time of the year. Love the memories of the old Christmas classics.
Thank you for watching!
Oh my goodness, my kids who were born in the 70's and 80's probably owned 75% of those toys. We lived in Germany at the time of the Cabbage Patch kids craze so we actually got a Cabbage Patch kid at one of their toy stores. His papers were all in German and his name was Hans Gunter. Some or their favorites were He Man, She Ra, Ninja Turtles, Tickle me Elmo, Beanie Babies and many of the others. I am having a lot of fun with these videos. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories. That is interesting on the German Cabbage Patch Kid. I didn't realize they were doing that back then but that was smart of them.
The 80s and 90s was my childhood. They missed a lot but this brought me back. I enjoyed it.
I miss the 80's & 90's and Christmas mornings
They were good old fashioned fun. Thank you for watching!
Yesssssss!!!!
Arrr the memories. It takes me back to being a kid
Thank you for watching Emily!
I was born in 88. I will never forget when I was 5 I wanted a doll house and I will never forget Christmas morning waking up to my doll house I wanted so bad. One of the best Xmas memories I have.
🥰
I make doll house miniatures for a living, so this really warms my heart ❤
Back when Christmas was still magical in a way that really can't be recaptured as an adult
Christmas is still magical as an adult if you are Christian
using christmas, magical, and christian in the same sentance, quite interesting. no hate to noticed.@@EmilyS-gk3st
You must not have kids.
I was born in 88 but I feel like I grew up in the 80s. Everything about the 80s makes me feel nostalgic even though I didn’t actually live through that decade.
I never embraced lame 90s music. Nirvaner can suck it.
Loved growing up in the 80s and early 90s! Lucky enough I was able to keep a lot of stuff I had when I was a kid I still have some of my original Star Wars figures, Transformers, Tron figures, Clash of the Titan figures, and so many others. Having the love for the stuff I did back then made me be a toy collector as an adult and it's a great feeling to be able to reminisce with the stuff we had as a kid! I always tell everybody I'm a Toys R Us kid I don't ever want to grow up! All we do is deal with pains and bills when we get older! Might as well enjoy the things that made us happy when we were young as long as we can!
I was born in 1988 so I was literally a 90s child. I remember one Christmas when I got a suitcase that was actually full of pencils, colors, brushes, etc. I loved to draw and color when I was a child so this was like being a professional painter! I still remember that one to this day, I loved this gift!
I had a few things like that as well because I was really into art. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories.
I agree 💯 growing up in 80s was fun
I wanted this suitcase!!! It was one of those wishes that never came true. One of m classmates had this and we were all jealous
I was 20 years old and pregnant with my first child. I remember sitting eating breakfast and hearing about the Cabbage patch kid riots at stores. I couldn't imagine what people saw in those dolls and still think they are ugly. A few years later though I was running around before Christmas trying to find Ninja turtle toys for my son. Then it was a Gameboy he wanted, my daughter wanted Tickle me elmo and a furbie. Both kids are grown now and I'm doing the same with my grandkids. Lol
Time flies.
So glad I'm not the only who dislikes those beedy eyed fat things.
Rainbow Brite and the care bears were very popular back then too.
Yes they were. Thank you for watching!
Sure was carebear rainbrite doll other stuff. Back than
I forgot those! ♥️
Hot Looks Dolls by Mattel.
I know. Any daycare I went to in the 90's & I went to alot of different daycares back then not going to get into why... 🤦♀️ They were littered with rainbow brite doll's, care bears stuffed animals, & magic nursery doll's. Ironically I never had those particular stuffed animals / doll's at my house mainly because I wasn't allowed to watch carebears. I thought the rainbow brite doll's were cute. As a 90's girl / kid who grew up mainly with mechanical doll's I was curious one day in daycare to see what the magic nursery doll's did so picked one up & started looking for an on & off switch & battery compartment when didn't find one on the doll just put it back in the toy box in the daycare kind of bored with it at the time to be honest. I knew the magic nursery doll's were popular at the time that was the other reason I picked it up to look at & try to figure out why so popular. Other than the doll having a cute face I didn't see the appeal~ 🤷♀️✌️
My parents spoiled me rotten as a kid. Between my sister and I we had virtually all the toys on this list during the 80's, sometimes twice over (one for each of us). It saddens me a little that kids these days do not have the same kind of cultural touchstones.
Stretch Armstrong was a 70s toy that was also popular in the early 80s.
He was certainly a popular 70s toy. Thank you for watching!
Did you ever cut one open to see what was inside ?
I had the green, sea monster looking bad guy. I bet it's worth a fortune now.
I had that in the 70’s. It didn’t last forever. Eventually one of the appendages would rip an this red ooze came out.
We had stretch monster. Me and my brother got carried away in a tug o war with his arms and it splat goo all over the floor. I haven't heard Dad yell that loud except for when same brother took my dad's pickup on a joyride from Idaho to California years later.
I happened to find a Teddy Ruxpin one day at a local Charity Shop here in Australia. I could not believe my eyes since it only cost $4AU, with the original cassette tape, and it still worked well!
In the 80's, my mom had a hard time finding Cabbage Patch Kids for me and my sister for Christmas. Her father finally found two of them in a small toy boutique.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories of how you got a Cabbage Patch Kid!
We had to get on a waiting list at Toys R Us and couldn't get one until they called us, and then when we went we didn't get to choose!
Yes I wanted one but my late parents were too poor to get one.
My dad got mine in Asia while deployed there. I don’t know which country. He said they were much cheaper there than in the states. He couldn’t have afforded it otherwise on a military salary.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj 😢
Nintendo, He-Man, Thundercats, Transformers, and G.I. Joes, just to name a few.
What a great time it was to be a kid.🎉
Thanks for the memories.❤
And Centurians too!
In the early to late 90's I worked at both Toysrus and KB toys and was able to witness some of these toys being sold.
That would have been a crazy time for toys. Thank you for watching!
I felt that with my soul when he siad "kids who received the nintendo as a present that Christmas will never forget the feeling they had when they first saw it and played it" man listen, this was one of thee BEST parts of my childhood, only time I would risk getting in trouble for not getting off the game and going to bed. Me and my siblings were hood rich when we got this for Christmas and you couldn't tell us nothing. I think whole family came together to buy this for us, grandma, aunties and all. The best feeling ever! The original Nintendo will always hold a very special place in my mind and heart.
Grew up in the 80's.. Thundercats was my favorite. We had Cats Layer, The Thunder Tank and may of the figurines :)
Thank you for watching and sharing what you had.
I loved Thunder Cats. I watched everyday at 3:30pm after school.
I was born in 82 but my mom said I loved it
the best years for toys.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the memories of my childhood 😢 ❤ brings back the goods times when the world actually made since
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
My grandfather bought the Nintendo system for my brother's and a cabbage patch doll for me. I still have my cabbage patch certificate. Great times
Sounds like you had a really good grandfather because he got you both some big ones. Thank you for watching and sharing some memories!
70's and 80's best time to be a kid. Sadly, kids nowadays will never experience it.
Thank you for watching George!
Amen my friend!!
70's baby here... favorite toy was my Atari 2600. Kicked off my lifelong love of gaming. I now have an xbox series x
Those Atari 2600 consoles were a ton of fun. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories!
Yep, I was all about Transformers and MOTU back in the 80's, but I still remember the insanity around the Cabbage Patch Kids craze. My sister wanted one for Christmas, but after seeing news stories of parents physically fighting each other over them, she thought it would be too dangerous for Santa so she asked for a Rainbow Brite doll instead.
That's funny to hear her reasoning for not asking Santa for one. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories.
Someone died, got trampled at a store to get one. Insane
My dad was military and was often able to get high demand toys when deployed overseas. That’s the only reason I was able to have a cabbage patch doll when they came out. Although at the time I thought Santa brought it.
I remember all the hype around Cabbage Patch Kids. I always remembered that and Teddy Ruxpin as being the two toys that really made some parents go nuts at Christmas!
Rhetty, at some point in the 90s there was a "Troll doll" craze. My oldest daughter had like 50 of them.
They seem to periodically come back every so often. Even in the last few years they made another appearance. Thank you for watching!
Yes 1993 I had quite the collection!
Yes I had only one and my nephews kept stripping him naked.😅
My daughter had a ton of Troll Dolls too. She still has them and she’s pushing 40 this year 😂
She kept them for my granddaughters 🥰
I remember my sister had a few
The easy bake oven, the cabbage patch doll , n the snoopy snow cone machine were my all time favorite gifts 😊
Boy they come and go so fast don’t they. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄Paul. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day 😊
By the way Paul, I listened to the other band you mentioned Broken Peach not bad, but I’m hooked on The Dead South. Actually listened to them for hours yesterday while I was doing my ongoing physio. If you haven’t heard of them, have a listen to Pentatonix, they are an a cappella group from Texas. My daughter loves them, she couldn’t find anyone that wanted to see them when they came here last, so I went with her to a Sydney concert. They were amazing, they are all great singers and each do something different. Our favourite is Mitch Grassi though, he is the tenor/counter tenor of group. Enjoy 😉
@@swansfan6944 Hi Jodie I was just looking for you wanted to tell you and your family Merry Christmas!!🎁🎄 Thank you also. I was planning on going to my sisters house Christmas Day but we are expecting near zero temperatures and snow and high winds. So I think I’ll just stay home and spend Christmas with my senile cat Cousin Eddy. Ha!! He’s a good cat just pretty old and a little odd. Thanks I’ll look the group up that you mentioned. Take care Merry Christmas!
@@paulstan9828 do you live far from your siblings Paul ? I can’t even imagine that type of weather and what it’s like to go out in but I do wish to see snow. It’s Friday morning here now, Christmas falls on a Sunday and it will be sunny 😎 and 26 degrees. I don’t know what that is in Fahrenheit, which I know is used over there.
By the way Paul, I love your cats name 🤣 we have a very spoilt, beautiful 12 year old pug named Pugsley.
@@swansfan6944 Ha!! That’s cute! I don’t live too far from my sister maybe 8 miles so it’s not too bad. Oh my 78 Fahrenheit that’s summer here. I don’t like snow especially when you have to drive in it. It’ll be -18 Celsius here tomorrow. 😁
I just overdosed...on nostalgia. I say this every time...The 80's and early 90's were the best time to be a kid. The music, the movies, the cartoons, the video games. I may be bias...but I'm also right!
Sorry, Kris, but the '60s and '70s were better than the '80s and '90s. ☺
Christmas 1983 my sister, our cousin Missy, and I each got a Cabbage Patch doll from our grandmother (or Nona, which is what we called her). Nona bought the dolls that summer, before the craze hit. Once the craze hit word got out around town that Nona had three dolls stashed away and people were offering her hundreds of dollars. She refused all the offers because she bought them for us. Each of the dolls resembled the granddaughter it was bought for. Mine had red hair, green eyes, and her name was Amy.
Love your channel! I am in my late 40’s and grew up in the 80’s,90’s. My god the memories! Thank you! I would love to relive it just once more……
Cabbage Patch Dolls came out when I was in sixth grade. By that time, most of the girls in our class had outgrown dolls and were experimenting with fashion and makeup. But ALL of the IT girls owned a Cabbage Patch doll that they'd bring to school, almost as an accessory.
From playing with dolls to dressing like dolls
That's interesting. Thank you for watching and sharing a memory.
I still want these toys!
Thank you for watching!
Pogo ball was one of my all-time favorite toys. Whoever ever heard of playing and exercising at the same time,haha.
My little pony show stable! Best Christmas gift moment ever. Parents had hidden it in the hall so I didn’t know about it till end of gift giving session. I was amazed! So happy.
Table Hockey was my favorite toy. In the 70's when I was small around 1970 I think it was Billy Blastoff
Thank you for watching and sharing some of what you had.
I got a doodle bear for Christmas one year I loved the crap out of that toy.. I was fascinated how I could draw all over my toy and it would just wash out..
That is interesting!
I still somehow remember the year (1978) I received the 12" Chewbacca figure AND the stuffed version for Christmas. My parents apparently bought them separately without consulting each other. Fair to say I did not mind! Star Wars was the Only toys to want want at that time. The best!
Thank you for watching and sharing some of what you had.
I remember Poochie, Popples, Lots a legs, Game/Watch by Nintendo, Magic Sand, Baby Alive, Barbie, Keepers, Smurfs, MOTU, Yo-Yo’s and plenty of others.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you remember. You mentioned some big ones!
@@RhettyforHistory thanks for reminding me of 80’s. More adults are buying toys for themselves than ever before.
I'm an 80s kid and I loved all my girlie toys, especially My Little Pony, Barbie, Lady Lovely Locks, Care Bears, Fluppy Dogs, Sweet Secrets and Pound Puppies and Purries.
I think one of my favorite toys from the 90s were POGs as they were much more affordable and accessible than many of the other popular toys for a few years.
Those really were popular. Thank you for watching and sharing what you enjoyed.
I was 13 or 14 years old when pogs got big. A friend and I would ride our bikes to Wal-Mart (we lived close) once a week or so. On one visit my friend stole a bunch of pogs but I didn't know it until after we had left and he gave me a bunch of them. I was so scared that I never went back to that Wal-Mart with him again. I literally put the pogs in a bag and shoved them in a drawer somewhere, never having played with them. lol
I miss garbage pail kids trading cards
Koosh ball wars were huge in junior high in the 90s man those hurt...we would battle it out in class and at home who could throw the hardest lol
That sounds like fun though! Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories!
I remember getting the Super NES for Christmas one year, best Christmas ever :D
GREAT WONDERFUL DAYSSSS!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS...
Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas to you Ronald!
Ghostbusters bro! I wanted that Firehouse so damn bad!
That was really popular too. Thank you for watching and sharing what you wanted.
I can remember awesome toys given by my loving sweet mother and father.I miss them so much.They are in Heaven watching over me and my 2 brothers.I remember getting surprised getting bikes,Atari,and PlayStation growing up and not expecting these types of things.They didn’t make that much money but loved us and provided for me and my 2 brothers. I am blessed having had such loving giving parents.God is great🙏❤️
On my 14th birthday, December 24th I received a surprise gift from my parents one of those Walkman cassette stereos. The best present ever 🎁🎄🙂
As a child of the 1980s, I enjoyed collecting the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) wrestling dolls. I even had the blue, steel cage and ring to host my own wrestling matches.
LOL! We all sound like our parents and grandparents....classic!
I was a premature baby when I was born in August of 94, my Dad's sister, my Aunt, she gave my parents a bunch of cabbage patch doll clothes because their older daughter had collected them at one time and had not wanted them anymore.
My mom said we had many cabbage patch outfits, but no dolls. lol
That's interesting you had all those clothes but no doll. Were they thinking your parents could put you in them? Thank you for watching and sharing a memory!
Rubik was a professor of architecture at the Budapest College. Not a toy designer, his actual purpose was solving the structural problem of moving the parts independently without the entire mechanism falling apart.
When I was a teenage Uncle, I got my little Nephew the TRANSFORMER, STARSCREAM, for Christmas. The after-school TRANSFORMERS cartoon was awesome! 🎄⛄️
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories with Transformers!
Great memories thanks for sharing
The 80’s and 90’s were so fun miss those times we had such cool toys
I got to see more of the latest toys of those times vicariously through my nieces and nephews now getting them back in the day! I sought out one of those popular fishing games that allowed you to "catch' certain popping up critters with their own specific fishing pole;
I do remember that game. It was pretty fun. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories.
remember many of these as I was born in 1985 and even had some of them I.E. Cabbage Patch Kids & Care Bears
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories!
Born in 1970 For me having a big wheel to ride round and round the neighborhood block was fun. I also had the 6 million dollar man doll. The KISS dolls, Tonka trucks, The Hess truck, a bag of plastic army men. I'd set up battlefield in the sand and play with them for hours, and race cars on a little race track. Those were fun. Than came out the board game Strageo a battlefield strategy game. Still I remember a lot of these 80s and 90s toy. Although much older by the late 80s I had a Nintendo, loved it, than I got the super Nintendo.
The toy M.U.S.C.L.E was very popular in the 1980s. Kids would bring them to school and trade them.
Yes they were. Thank you for watching!
I have a few of them on my desk right now! I was Obsessed with those figures.
I used to love the container that used to sell them in I think there's like 10 of them in each little reclosable container, I can't tell you how many ring sets I bought two. you know where you wrestle them in the plastic piece is always a snapped off when you try to put them in place LOL
I was a young adult when Pokemon made its US debut and can remember saying to a kid that in a few years the Pokemon craze would be dead and its cards and merchandise would be sold at yard sales and thrift shops for less than a buck. I can almost hear that now grown kid telling the story about that clueless adult who only thought he knew what he was talking about.
I bet he did say that but I have thought the same thing about some items like that too. Thank you for watching and sharing your memory.
From my parents, the greatest joy I had was the Vectrex. I was 11 in 1982.
But as I was, and I am still a great old child, I must say the very greatest joy of all time was made by myself, when I bought my Nintendo 64. Nothing in my life could compare with the hype, with the joy, the satisfaction and fun that this system brought me. ❤ Mario, star fox, goldeneye, and later, Ocarina of Time, which is the best souvenir of my life.
(I mean, play activity of course)
Lol !! I remember the Cabbage patch doll craze. A friend of my Sister-in-law had a pair of Cabbage patch house slippers. My Youngest she was 3 yr old at the time, would find them an carried them around as her Babies finally one visit she refused to let them go. Needless to say she got to keep them from that forward.
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories!
aww the memeries, I miss being a kid at times, fun toys I had
miss being a kid? LOL I'm 45 & still a kid. I made a vow years ago to be a Toys R Us kid & never grow up. Sadly, Toys R Us is no longer around, but I'm still a kid & always will be. Still watching cartoons & enjoying video games daily.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I'm 41, still act like a kid too but alot of times I mikss the oood old days, toy r us is still around, they have it in maceys a small section,, at least at the mall where I live does
miss, good
@@RhettyforHistory your welcome
This brings back so much memories 👌🏻
I worked in retail during both the Tickle Me Elmo craze and the Furby craze, watching people pushing and shoving each other to get one, until we ran out and spent the rest of the day writing rain checks (one of my managers was even knocked down opening the front doors during the Furby craze). But you forgot to mention the hot item for Christmas 1999, Game Boy Color! We sold out of those very quickly on Black Friday that year and we couldn't keep them in stock - much like Tickle Me Elmo and Furby, they sold out as fast as we got them in!
Oh my goodness… I loved Beanie babies! I still have about 10 that even have the protective cover on their tags. 😂 my daughter was crazy about them…my son, who is almost 30 thinks the old Nintendo system is “vintage” and cool😅
It is funny to hear younger kids thinking about these things as vintage. In my mind it isn't. That is awesome you still have some Beanie Babies. Thank you for watching Shannon!
If they have their protective covers on it they're probably worth a lot of money
I'm so glad I was born in the early 80's and grew up the old school way with no internet or smart phones just playing outside and going to the mall.
My kids and grandkids have had most everything on the list 💞 my son's loved the He Man series and my daughter's loved the Cabbage Patch dolls. Also Atari. 💞
Sounds like your family has had some great toys! Thank you for watching Josele!
My fondest memory is waking up and finding a crash, it was two 57 Chevy I think, when you collided them the doors and hoods would fly off! Also remember the smell of peppermint candy canes and oranges In my stocking!! Raised by a single mom, and 55 years later, I would give anything to feel that joy again.!!
Society didn't just lost it sense of innocence, it also lost the best Decades of childhood experiences...Sadly most children growing up now, will never know and understand what a Christmas or Birthday Gift really is.
70's/80's kid 90 YA. I had the chance to enjoy some of these toys. We never had an NES, but we had a neighbor who had one. Years later I had a SNES and a GB.
I had the chance to watch the children grow up enjoying stuff together and later new franchises.
I just found your channel. I was born in 77 so this is amazing! Subscribed!
Thank you for watching weslittlereptilefamily3418!
Not only are these videos really fun and informative, the comments are awesome!! Thanks for the excellent content 🎉❤
Omigod! Seeing the Atari and Nintendo gaming consoles brought back so many memories! I miss those days! I also had a game boy too!
I love the Rubik's cube I remember in the 80s it was Rubik's cube everything, earrings and necklaces it was a phenomenon 🥰 and they came out with other Rubik's cube variations, include one called The Snake it was like a long snake like shape Rubik's cube so awesome 😍
I do remember that one you mentioned. It wad definitely popular to have. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
I do remember that one you mentioned. It was definitely popular to have. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!
I remember all of these toys and current events. I'm shocked that Garbage pail kids card's weren't in the line up. Parents hated them and boys loved them.
I was transitioning out of my "kid" status in the late 80's and didn't get some of them. But Atari was huge for me as we were late to that party.
Atari really was a huge one to have and there were tons of games. Thank you for watching and sharing what you had.
My favorite was the Rainbow Brite doll!
I had just about all of these! I still have a He-Man watch in mint condition.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you still have!
G.I. Joe, Transformers, Tyco Trains, BMX bike and NES ruled my childhood!❤️
Every single toy I remember like it was yesterday
I was so happy in 1986 I got the Jem and the holograms glitter n gold Jem for christmas, I loved watching the cartoon and getting the doll was amazing
She sure saw some good sales. Thank you for watching and sharing some memories!
When it came to the sewing machine my Aunt Gale was an absolute master genius... for Christmas she made her grandkids and nieces and nephews a cabbage patch doll...and it looked exactly like the real thing except the heads wasn't plastic but made out of the same material as the body... when my cousin took hers to school...the teachers and kids went crazy...and my aunt started making $$$$$$$$ lol...she was in high demand
The origional ones were all fabric like she made.
Right at the early peak of the 1990's, in my teens Christmas memory was the Sega Genesis as previously I was Nintendo in my 80's childhood.
During my teens the Sega Genesis was basically a gaming console and most of their library of games was intended towards teens to young adults demographic, from that day forward I was so satisfied about owning a Sega Genesis.
Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories of what you had!
I remember getting the toy Chute's Away for Christmas in the early 80s had so fun playing it all day long. Dick Van Dyke did the commercial for it back then. Also I got Head to Head electronic football game as well. Great memories back then I miss those days now more than ever before 🤔
I will never forget when Nintendo came out I was in 1st grade it was in everyone’s Santa list at school I luckily got one and will always remember how great that Christmas was.
I remember those Toys, from the Mid 80s, to the Mid to Late 90s, because I was a 80s to 90s Kid and a 90s to Early 00s Teenager too, my Brothers and Sisters, and my Friend.
Best Christmas of my life... We were pretty poor, so even the rare treat of going to the arcade or Chuck E. Cheese was a rare thing, and when we did go i was grateful to get 2$ in quarters to play games. But one year not much was going on under the Christmas tree, which was fine. But found a note (from Santa) in my stocking telling me I should go check some area in the house, which lead me to more notes around the house, eventually ending up going to the oven. I opened it up and there it was. A glorious and beautiful recently released NES. Complete with light gun, Duck Hunt and my favorite arcade game Super Mario Bros. I was ELATED. Not only did i get the thing i wanted most, but I could play all my favorite games without leaving the house to stand in line to play, and i could play all i wanted, no quarters required. Man that was huge 😎. Kids today couldn't understand how cool it was back then. I still smile any time I think about that day, and am still as grateful to my folks for busting and saving to make it happen.
We got my nephew a teddy ruxpin. He was terrified of it. Needless to say that was about thirty bucks down the drain.😂
I never had one, but I hated it too. I wonder what happened to all of them? I used to go to the thrift store a lot and never really saw one.
@@gooniesgirl1979 I wonder what happened to it. I will have to ask his mom about Teddy's fate. 😅
@@cynthiacronin2794 I had a talking Snoopy. He wasn’t creepy unless you left the batteries to drain inside.
My mom got us a talking big bird that used tape to tell stories. That thing was terrifying!😂
Oh wow! I wonder how often that happened? Thank you for watching and sharing a memory!
For us, we all did almost exactly the same things with the same toys. We are the last generation (X) to share so much, after all the generations of humans.
Kids nowadays will not share so many things like we were able to.
My brother and I got the NES back in 1986 for Christmas, and we were stoked! Back then, the console also came with this goofy little robot that spun tops
Sega genesis was 16 bit not 32. It came a year before super nintendo which was also a 16 bit system.
You're right on that. Thanks for watching and helping out with the information.
@@RhettyforHistory 👍
Altered Beast, Street fighter, Mortal Kombat ,Sonic Etc. Sega Genesis have some iconic games even the Dreamcast was really cool in my opinion I don't think it was marketed good enough though. Cheers Mate 🍻
I didn't want say that but, you did.

My best presents were skerlectrics and an Amstrad cpc 464 computer with cassette loading games lol. One Xmas I got Bohemian Rhapsody on vinyl from Santa. I listened to it on my headphones in bed about 20 times before everyone woke up. It blew my mind. My Mum had her issues but she did her best to make us happy. Love u Mum xx
Extremely blessed to have been born 1980. First, i wanna mention garbage pail kids but my Christmases had all these toys and were all magical. Also I loved my power wheels motorcycle. Not sure why those didn't make the list. Another thing about Christmases back then was getting a new bike. Those were usually the best thing kids got back then. Cause you know, we used to play outside
I remember one of my favorite toys I got for Christmas was a Panasonic boombox I recorded my childhood memories on that boombox still had the cassette tapes to this day and lots of memories of me when I was a kid if you have any childhood cassette tapes recordings preserve them I start putting them to digital now cuz you know they all last forever love your videos Merry Christmas
Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the videos. I appreciate you sharing your memories too. Merry Christmas to you as well!
