Everybody, at one time or another, has wanted something they can’t have. Often it’s something other people can buy, but you’re not able get your hands on. As an adult, maybe it’s a high-end car like a Ferrari. As a teenager, maybe it’s the latest video game system. And, when you’re a kid, it’s usually a toy.
We all had those toys. Well, not “had” them literally, but figurately. The toys we desperately desired. The ones we would ogle at the store. The items we’d circle in the catalog and leave on the table for Mom and Dad to see. The toys we secretly hoped would appear during the holidays but never did.
This is an article about those toys. And, as a child of the 1980s and 1990s, most of them are of that era. Some are my personal selections, but many others came from like-minded users on X. Check them out, and get jealous all over again.
