Toys as a kid that you would never admit to your friends you owned.

Yeah, Easy Bake Oven changed people's lives...lol.

This kid, Kyle that I used to babysit, his auntie bought him one (and this is when they were PINK). He loved to cook, just like his mom. Well, I saw a 16 box refill at TRU, so I bought it for him, and we made cakes and brownies when I came over.

Me too...

I swear...my sister got one for Christmas...and she quickly lost interest in it (to this day, she doesn't bake or cook, lol)...so I took over...and was baking those tiny cakes with that light bulb all the time...it was lots of fun...I loved my sister's Easy Bake Oven...but of course...I'd never admitted it to my friends...lol.

I got the Mego 12" Wonder Woman for my birthday one year. I had to be under 5. Even then, I knew this was clearly a girls toy. She was WAY more girly than my other Mego figures. I don't recall ever playing with her much. I borrowed her coat and glasses to make my 8" Mego Superman into Clark Kent.

I wasn't above borrowing my older sister's Charlie's Angels dolls for a Mego Batman rescue, and her doll house for Wayne Manor, but it was another thing to OWN an actual girl doll.

basically any female figure - Leia in star wars, Scarlet in Gijoe, Uhura in St mego

[spacecaps]

Strawberry Shortcakes Purple Pie Man and She-ra. I also had a Popple, which was awesome.

No embarrassment here. I did have "boy" toys, like 2 AJs, 1 Big Jack, an SSP mini Citgo car, Matchbox cars, a fire engine, a double decker bus, 2 London guard dolls, Lincoln Logs, a speedboat for the bathtub, a cap gun, and a machine gun that made noise and drove my mom nuts!

I confess: I was really wanting the Jem line (I still do)

[GlobalObserver]

I was too embarrassed to buy any of the female WGSH or ask anyone to buy them for me, and I wanted a Batgirl really badly. I remember standing around the toy isle for hours once, just trying to muster up the courage to buy her. To this day, I still don't own a Batgirl and it's one of my absolute favorite MEGOs.

I had a Ken. He was a gift from a great Aunt who was very nice but didn't have kids and had no clue what gifts to get.

[MIB41]

Mego Batgirl...

[Mikey]

Dolls are one thing but girl action figures are more meh meaning a lot of boys had them... especially females figures in a male dominated line like Johnny West or WGSH's

[Brazoo]

I'm thinking - but I'm not sure I had any I was ashamed of. NOT because I think all my toys would have been considered cool - but because I was probably way too clueless to know any better.

[Figuremod73]

I forgot I had almost the whole collection Shirt Tale stuff figures at the bottom of the closet. I think those were Mcdonalds toys circ. 1985?

That was something I wouldnt have wanted to show off to friends

[toys2cool]

I had a few She-ra's , the murky and fluffy dude from Rainbow brite, and some new kids on the block, and 90210 guys(in all fairness my Joes use to beat the crap out of those guys lol)
