For me baby dolls. When I was really little I had one baby doll I got as a gift. When your toy's action feature is soiling itself, that gets old pretty fast. I just didn't care for them.

Toys you did not like as a child.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -

Sports toys didn't do anything for me either. I was slightly intrigued by Starting Lineup, because they came out RIGHT as I was leaving playing with toys behind, and they were acceptable to openly collect, unlike say, TMNT or something like that.
But I was never a sports ball person, so I just looked on from afar.

I never liked the first G.I. joe with flock hair, the way the body could pose didn’t click with me, I did have a mike power and ballet man which I liked playing with.Comment

matchbox cars or hot wheels. I mean I had some, but I didn't play with them, mostly we probably just threw them at each other when we got mad, lolComment

Weened on the late 1970's and early 80's 3.75" action figures. My brother's G.I. Joe, Six Million Dollar Man, Evel Knievel, etc. were so out of scale with everything else I played with.I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

Although, I really didn't like Cowboys & Indians toys. My dad grew up with that stuff. Little too dry for my tastes. Science Fiction & Fantasy is what appealed to me (with some G.I. Joe thrown in).I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

I never really got into army toys (maybe had one set of the little green army men, plus I had a WWII Battle of the Bulge playset; and even though I saw every episode of the cartoon, I never truly clicked with GI Joe). The big line that never pulled me in, however, was Transformers*. For whatever reason, I've never gone for those--I did watch the cartoon, but I always liked the lines like Starriors better, and while I had lots of friends who had Transformers, I was content with MOTU, Super Powers, etc.
*Strangely enough, the main place for toys for my small town was a Roses Dept. Store, and they had GoBots on their shelves a while (I was young, so I'm really not sure of the time span, but I'd bet 2-3 months) before Transformers showed up, so I initially saw Transformers as the secondary line of the two. That didn't really contribute, since i wasn't jumping to get into GoBots either.Hugh H. Davis
