What was your most favorite toy as a kid?

Does a tea set count as a toy? If not, my power rangers.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Tea sets are more accessories. I don't think I've met a Power Ranger, though...

What made you like them so much?

Legos. They were awesome for building stuff for the mechs to step on.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Andy loved Legos. Actually, a lot of kids like Legos!

A wooden dragon that my brother carved me.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

That's nice. How long did you have it?

[c-o-u-r-a-g-e.livejournal.com]

Malibu Dream Ken. And Star Wars Legos.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

I know a Ken. He's a nice guy! You can't go wrong with a Ken doll.

My grandfather and I traveled around a lot, so I didn't have that many toys.

I do remember there was one town we stayed in for a few months, in the winter. There wasn't much to do besides stay inside, it was that cold, so he carved me a wooden sword and then made himself a bigger one... he started to teach me how to use a real sword then, though at the time I thought we were just playing Knights and Bandits.

So I guess it was that sword. It definitely had the most memories attached to it.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

A sword? I know kids get toy weapons all the time, but I've never heard of a grandparent teaching someone how to use a real weapon with them. Do you need weapons, where you're from?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I didn't have any.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

You didn't? Why not??

[fromacupboard]

I'm not sure. Can they all be favorite?

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Of course they can be!

[quicksavensmoke.livejournal.com]

Toy guns?
and the gameboy - obviously.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

That definitely sounds like a boy's childhood.

[fumacious.livejournal.com]

Chocolate cigarettes.

I hate them now.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

...They make those?

[movinghair.livejournal.com]

A microphone.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Really? Was it one of those play ones that makes your voice echo?

... I-I'm sorry

[madeitsquare]

Bah!

it's more than okay |D

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

What?

[getaxboshi.livejournal.com]

I did more studying and training when I was a child, playtime for me was playing tag with Yoruichi-san.

However I have plenty of toys now!

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Really? What do you have? And playing tag is fun too, Andy and his friends would take us sometimes when they went out to play. I was pretty good, with Andy's help.

[gottabookemall.livejournal.com]

The deluxe Auction Man collection.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Auction Man? Who's that?

[hands4healing.livejournal.com]

I played with tools more than toys. But I had a stuffed bear!

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Stuffed animals are always good. I know a lot of kids like them because you can pretend they're a superhero but they're still super soft when you go to bed.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

A mace!

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

I dunno if that's really a toy...

[you-go-boom.livejournal.com]

My bombs! Teeheehee!

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Those definitely aren't toys!

[dreamsonaplane.livejournal.com]

A small parasol that my father and I made together.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Do you still have it?

[curajas.livejournal.com]

Hm, that's a tough one! I had a stuffed doll, though! I took it everywhere for a few years...it was a chocobo, a big yellow bird.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

What happened to it?

[merlinastrice.livejournal.com]

We didn't really have toys. Will tried to make us wooden swords but they fell apart pretty quickly.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

That's too bad! But at least he tried, right?

[hok-ton.livejournal.com]

I did not have many toys as a child. We mostly played with whatever came to hand - whether that be stones or discarded crates. Sometimes we could scrounge broken toys from the richer children...but that was rare.

Why do you ask?

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Every kid should get at least one toy to call their own.

I was just curious.

[voicewhichcalls.livejournal.com]

I never had such a luxury until I was too old to appreciate them fully.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

You're never too old to appreciate a toy! So long as you love them, toys are for all ages!

[hammeroids.livejournal.com]

My firetruck.

[yodel-ay-heehoo.livejournal.com]

Boys love toy cars. So do most of us toys, for that matter.
