I had gen 1 bionicles, 90s transformers toys that actually mother fukin transformed PROPERLY was the absolute GOAT and when I'd transform them I'd go eee e oo ee a ooo ee. And a manta force spaceship.

The spaceship was on another level. It had MINI SHIPS AND VEHICLES INSIDE. And little people to sit in the seats and man the systems. And it was so rugged you could pass it down generations.

          No thats a cap gun. This was a spinny wheel inside that pressing the trigger and would make sparks inside the gun as the wheel span.

          I had a cap gun they smelled nice lol

            My cap gun broke at some point, so I would hit the paper caps with a hammer (why I had access to a hammer as a kid is something I question lol)

        Did you ever have this? Little firecracker balls you would throw on the floor and they'd go pop. The spark gun was so much fun but i swear it got warm as i used it, some of the sparks would come out of the hole above the trigger

      Tamagotchi was huge in my middle school. It wasn't until some years later I read it was supposed to be marketed to girls while boys got digimon, none of the kids had digimon everyone wanted the tama.

        Dragon Flyz were the 'boy version' of Sky Dancers, and Transformers were marketed to boys but I had those despite being AFAB

        I also had a Game Boy, pretty sure the name gives away who that was marketed to lol.

        Even kid me thought sticking to either boys or girls toys was silly. I liked both.

    Bionicles were my shit. I remember those head smashing ones that I would use to beat the shit out of my action figures.

    When I was a kid and in particular a very little kid - I loved vehicles: Matchbox Cars, my yellow Tonka dump truck, etc.

    When I was a very little kid I loved dinosaurs. But oddly enough - I don't have any fond memories of the dinosaur figures themselves like I do the vehicles. The figures were just a tool for escapism and fantasy - if that makes sense.

      Did you ever play the Tonka pc games? Like tonka spacestation or raceway?

      There was definitely a period of my life where every photo is of me and a rusted out Tonka truck

        I loved that truck. I'm not one for objects or sentimentality- but, man, I'd love to have that truck now.

    My jurassic park figurines, I loved my dilophosaurus, also liked toys in general of modern animals. I liked to play with them outside and pretend they were trying to survive the elements, find things to eat, etc.

    One of the many action figures I cherished. I use to pit my figures against each other in forts I'd build out of legos.

    Me and my younger brother were HUGE Bionicle heads, I think my favorites were the removed Bug Dudes that folded up into a ball.

    The Golden mask movie was dope as hell too and I remember being super jealous when my brother got that kit for christmas one year.

    My brother and I also had something like that Manta Force ship, but it was a big millennium falcon we could store our star wars figurines in.

    I had a lot of cool GI Joes like the Cobra Mountain playset. It was awesome because some of the parts were reused from a Star Wars toy so there were broken Droid parts on the ground. 10 year old me thought that was the coolest shit ever.

    I had this neat GI Joe P-40 when I was younger. It had a button under the tail that would cause the propeller and gatling gun to spin.
