I was asked this week what was the favorite toy I received as a Christmas present when I was a kid. It was an impromptu conversation "on the air" so I thought fast and remembered my "Man From Uncle" toy machine gun that folded up into a radio. I must have enjoyed it...I remembered it.
This morning I was looking through some old pictures and I remembered the Beanie and Cecil dolls I received. Cecil had one of those strings you pulled to make him talk, which had to be one of the first toys that did that.
I loved those dolls when I was very little.
Looking at the Beanie doll though, from this picture off an Ebay auction, I have to say...he looks pretty frightening now.
So what was your favorite Christmas toy?
