I loved them so much as a kid I Collect them now! I collect the mint condition still on the card ones.
I want to collect all the ones I had as a kid, I need maybe 15 more. ;-)

I also loved He-Man.

Good Times.

Ghostbusters action figures
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures
Legos

I could spend hours upon hours playing with those and I still love Legos

Little plastic animals. You could buy them in bags, usually farm animals or zoo animals and such as that. Also a few mice made of what I suspect were rabbit fur, sold as cat toys. They were something like 25 or 50 cents each at the local Woolworth's.

Remember Reader's Digest Condensed Books? My parents had them. They were really heavy. I would lay them down on the carpet and pretend they were islands, and different animals lived on different islands. We had an Oriental rug in the living room, and I would pretend that part of the pattern was a river. I'd make them houses out of Legos.

Later I made an incredible dollhouse that I loved out of a taped-together stack of shoe boxes. It looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Paper curtains, beds made of cotton balls. I had so much fun making it and adding to it.

Around the time I was working on that, my father _ who probably was secretly aghast at the shoebox dollhouse, surprised me with a gorgeous handmade wooden dollhouse. But I loathed dolls, so I used the rabbit fur mice as the dollhouse family. It consisted of T Bear (a little fully jointed teddy bear), Mouseykins (a gray rabbit fur mouse), Stuart Little (another gray rabbit fur mouse), O Crispen (a white rabbit fur mouse) and two little plastic mice that were the unnamed twin babies.

Also Breyer horses, which were quite expensive as I recall, but over time I amassed a small herd of my own.

Wow. I was kind of a weird kid, but I had a great imagination... I still have all the Breyer horses, the dollhouse, and the whole eclectic animal family. They're up in our attic waiting patiently for me to be demented enough to play with them again.

BJ can be Chewie.
Ledbetterdays can be Luke. (I know there will be a protest, since it's Ledbetterdays's toy.)

Harrumph. This is like the eternal argument with my cousin Billy who used to want to be Kirk when we were playing Star Trek as kids. I demanded to be Kirk since I was six weeks older and a full grade ahead of Billy. Billy said no, I couldn't be Kirk because I was a girl. He would suggest Uhura. Then his younger brother and sister would want to play but would pout because the best we could offer was Checkov and Spock. Nobody ever wanted to be Spock... I think we argued so much that we rarely ever sorted it out enough to play.
