15 iconic toys from the '90s

These fancy dolls are still all the rage. 

Admit it, you’ve still got one of these stashed away because you just never know when it’ll be worth millions. 

The most anxiety-inducing game ever?

You were the envy of all your friends if you had one of these furry pets when they first came out. You regretted that jealousy when it creepily woke you up in the middle of the night. 

Basically schoolyard currency of the ’90s. Also, never forget slammers. 

Made popular by Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. “Howdy do! This is Peter McCallister, the father. I’d like a hotel room, please, with an extra-large bed, a TV and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key. Credit card? You got it.”

We all had a favourite Mighty Morphin Power Ranger #Pinkforlife. 

Oh, the miracle of birth. How many pups will you find when you rip open the Velcro from your plush doggy’s belly?

Department store fights erupted when this hot-ticket toy was released in 1996.

The beauty of a Doodle Bear was that you could write or draw whatever the eff you wanted then throw it in the wash for a clean slate. Because, like, sometimes your brother was being a loser and you needed to write it on the bear, you know? 

Who, who, who has a crush on you? Maybe it’s Dan, but it’s probably Paul. This guessing game was the best. 

In 1996 you and this console spent a lot of quality time together.
