80s Toys: What Did You Play With?

[Pete]

The 80s were packed with some of the most iconic toys of all time action figures, dolls, board games, and more! Some are still around, while others have faded into nostalgia. Whether you collected them, played with them, or just wished you had them, let’s talk 80s toys!

Let's start with a true 80s exclusive: Boglins!

These creepy, rubbery hand-puppet monsters were released in 1987 by Mattel and instantly became a weird but fun craze. Designed to look like mischievous little goblins, they came in eerie-looking boxes with cage bars to make it seem like you were taking home a pet creature. With movable eyes and wiggly faces, they were part horror, part comedy, and 100% 80s.

Did you ever own a Boglin? What other 80s toys do you remember playing with?

If you were little during the 80s you probably had a Fisher Price toy fun like this one. I know I did.
