My 10 Favorite Childhood Toys
When I was a child, my favorite toys were the Power Rangers Megazord toys, but there were many others. I had to do some research to some classic commercials of some other toys I played with over the years.

Here's a few of my and my friends' favorite toys growing up.

10. Crocodile Mile

9. Gator Golf

8. Stretch Armstrong

7. Hungry Hungru Hippos

6. Crossfire

5. Hot Wheels

4. Skip it

3. Transformers

Mr. Potato Head

1. Power Rangers

Do you remember playing with any of these toys? What was your favorite? Do you have any other toys not listed, that you played with?

I remember playing with a LOT of those toys. I particularly enjoyed the skip-it. I'd use the counter on it to see how many skips I did. It was a royal pain in the patookus when I'd get overexcited and it would fly off my ankle mid-skip. Then I'd have to hunt it down and finish the skip to make a full rotation.
