Best toy ever ...

The Atari 7800

I'm all about the action figure so it's...

The Ewok Village with any Star Wars action figures!

Worthy mentions for hours of fun... GI Joe (dreadnoks ruled), Thundercats, Asterix.

I also love my visual aids:-

I loved the big playsets too. I reckon my family could've afforded it, but I was always the conscientious child - so never asked for anything large scale. Big vehicles I did ask for though... X wing, GI Joe Snow Cat, Gi Joe Tanks etc.

I never had the ewok village as  a child, but at age 25 I decided to fulfill my childhood dreams and I bought one on-line! I sometimes take it out for a quick play...  ;D and it's on proud display in my study.

I used to love the Snake Mountain Playset for the Masters of the Universe figures.  It had a battery operated microphone in the shape of a snake atop of the mountain, that made your voice echo.  I had hours of fun with that thing  8)

They should have had more Pac man Action Figures that were modeled after
the saturday morning cartoons. That was a great cartoon.

I loved the cartoon too...

As for He-man, I had lots of He-man figures too but I hated the muscly poses. They never stood straight and looked weird with their knees bent and squatting.

they were just constipated

I was a nerdy little kid, so one of the toys I remember actually playing with a lot was a Speak N Spell.

Me too! I would always take it on road trips. I bet my parents loved that.

Also a fan of the Big Wheel.

I searched online for a Speak N Spell game but all I came up with a simulator. It gives you 10 words to spell, they all start with A, and some of them repeat. But there is a way to play Cootie the game, another of my favorites, online. http://richgamer.com/game/1252/Cootie.html

They were easy to break too.  Their legs were held together through a thin piece of rubber  :\'(

The best  one ever had to be Barbie.....with a perm...if you wet her hair with cool water it would go straight and the opposite for warm water. She was dressed in a lovely sunflower yellow prom gown.

BIG HAIR FOREVER!!!

Anything having to do with cars were my favorite toys in the 80s..I wish I had my matchbox and hot wheels from the very late 70s to mid-80s. Also the accessories and playsets, like the racetracks and the "City" sets. Loved those. Other than that I thought traffic signs and signals were cool toys. I was a weird kid and weirder grown-up!

ATARI :D  by far
