amibasuki Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 [FONT=arial]what are some of the stupidest toys you can remember from when you were a kid (or now)? did you ever like them, or hate them from the start? your comments, please.[/FONT]
Angelus_Necare Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 hmmmmm.... crappy toys as a child... OH, I know one! I remember as a wee lass having some sort of plastic ring pyramid stacking thing. sure they were fun to throw at the other children but what fun can you get out of stacking things? other than that I can't think of anything else.
Axel--Ignition Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 Anything I ever had that was made from China blew in to pieces...
amibasuki Posted September 28, 2002 Author Posted September 28, 2002 [FONT=arial]anyone remember those Magic Potty Babies? *cringe* of course, that Cabbage Patch Kid doll that ate stuff was pretty stupid, too. and gave a lot of kids mental problems to boot.[/FONT]
Transtic Nerve Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 there are some absolute horrid toys out there today. I don't remember any off the top of my head, but if you watch Cartoon Network for about an hour, you can see a whole bunch.
Angelus_Necare Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 what about those bagpacks you used to wear in the front with the baby inside making you look pregnant? What a beautiful marketing tool that was...
amibasuki Posted September 28, 2002 Author Posted September 28, 2002 [FONT=arial]it seems a lot of the toys made that were really stupid were made specifically for girls. one time the Barbie company thought it'd be a great idea to sell a barbie doll that was pregnant, and you could take the baby out through the stomach. of course, those aren't around anymore.....I hope....[/FONT]
Guest Imsirion Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 I cant think of any crappy toys, I played with Ninja Turtle and Batman figures, cars, and G.I Joes. Ya, most of the crappy toys were for girls,:p
Guest Matt Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 [color=red][b]I personally think the batman figures were crap. They never sold an original batman. It was always "Batman in Super Ice Gear" or "Batman in Jungle Camo" never just a original batman. that pissed me off.[/b][/color]
Guest Imsirion Posted September 28, 2002 Posted September 28, 2002 hmmm I think the new batman figures are crap, but the old ones were cool. Batman had a grappling hook that came out of his utility belt and I had the old Robin and Joker. (yes, the Robin with the green tights. O.O... joker looked cool in his purple suit though)

I didn't have any toys I really disliked, although I hated my cousins toys, which were all dolls that ate/cried/moved/dressed themselves/became sentient. She used to annoy me with them all the time...[/b]

Semjaza Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 The crappiest toys I ever bought were the first batch of Resident Evil toys. The things looked nice (just under McFarlane quality), but were made so cheaply. My brothers would just move their arm around and the arm would fall off.

Tocca Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 I loved action man, but i hated Spiderman, Batman etc.. Wasnt into all that stuff. :D
Guest pyro_kai Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 What are you talking about G.I. Joe was the shiznit and the action figures promoted patriotism and Anti-terroism against the terroist cobras
Sara Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 Every time I see your banner, I think CWB's gone and posted.... Every 'Polly Pocket' toy ever made was pointless.
PiroMunkie Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 [color=indigo]Anything that didn't have moving parts was pretty useless to me. I mean, when you have a car which its wheels are of the same mold as the rest of it, you can't do much. Unless the thing was on ice, it wasn't going anywhere. o_O[/color]
Rancid Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]Really old wrestling "action figures". The rubber ones that only had one pose. Those were really crappy, but some of them are worth over $100.00 now.[/COLOR]
Semjaza Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 They are? I have a few lying around... Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan I believe. Can't believe those boring things were worth anything. We actually used to just see how high we could throw them, rather than actually use them for wrestling.
Genkai Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 uh........... stupid toys... every polly pocket thing ever... thre a a jillion, but i cant think of even one ight now... don't you hate it when that happens?
Sara Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 EZ Bake ovens were pretty much ridiculous, as were Barbie, Christy, Theresa, Ken, Stacy, Skipper, Todd, Kelly....am I missing any one of the 'Barbie' family? The idea is kinda cute, and I know there are countless die-hard collectors out there, but really...how many variations of the freakin' doll can you come up with?
Angelus_Necare Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 You're missing one cera, Kevin. and I'm very ashamed to say that I owened more than five barbie dolls in my youth. Now I silently snicker as I watch them melt on the rotissary on a bright autumn afternoon.
Sui Generis Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 The worst ones had to be those stupid Barbie dolls...or the polly pockets. *shudders* I'm not ashamed to say that I owned them tho, I just didn't own them very long *grins evily* I burned those things! Yeah also those stupid Batman toys, why couldn't it just be Batman! Not super duper batman delux with the glowing logo.
Angelus_Necare Posted September 29, 2002 Posted September 29, 2002 :blulaugh: Duo, you owned barbies? or was I mislead by this: [QUOTE]I'm not ashamed to say that I owned them tho[/QUOTE]
