As a kid, it was probably LEGO, though GI Joe came in a strong second. These days I guess it's my computer more than anything.

Slot Cars and Model Trains.
Specially together.

Hands down, the winner is Alphie, with LEGOs being in 2nd place.

The Tron light cycle with rip cord.

And the Atari 2600. Kids nowadays will never experience the pure joy of unwrapping what was, for many people my age, THE first affordable and versatile video game. My cousins roll their eyes. "You can play all those games online for free now and they're boring."

As a kid, I had and loved the Ghostbusters Firehouse playset. Used it for my GI Joes, He-Man, etc. As an adult, well, I still have a Nintendo DS that I break out occasionally. Love to play Mario Kart and True Swing Golf on that thing.

Was - a Miss Piggy Doll, she was very fancy in a gown and little heels. I never understood why Kermie didn't love her.

My teddy bear was my all-time favorite, but as for mass-market toys that others would recognize it would have to be She-Ra, Princess of Power. I had the dolls, I had their horses, I had the Crystal Castle, I had it all. And it's still in pristine condition in a box in my garage, because I WILL NOT part with my She-Ra collection. I still love it.
