Barbies, when I was older I played with Kelly dolls (the cute little ones that looked like they were 6)... Never got too into the dressing up, more the storylines. =) Baby dolls always creeped me out. Stuffed animals to the max.
I spent a lot of time playing with horse figurines, Grand Champions, Breyers, and others. I used to get one after every dentist visit that I got a clean bill of health, so every six months. Toys'R'Us was right by my dentist's office lol. Those horses had some long-running soap operas... I used to play them with my friend, too. We played together from like age 4-14. The rest of the time, we played with her pets or swam in her pool and played mermaids. Lots of imagination regardless. =)
I was never allowed to have a video game system because my parents thought it would rot my brain, but we had some computer games, like Oregon Trail (ftw), Pac-Man, and this old game called Crystal Quest for the Mac. When I got older, I got into RTS and played Roller-Coaster Tycoon, The Sims, and Heroes of Might and Magic III (best RTS ever IMO). I remember always wanting White/Black but we never bought it.
I also had tons of Legos, these cool sets where you'd build a marble racing track that could be like 4 foot tall (too bad the sets didn't mix and match!), swingset outside, the merry-go-round at the park and at Girls Club (we went FAST)...
I was really into crafts, too, like friendship bracelets and beading. I spent a lot more time on that than most of my toys. And then there was ballet, horseback riding, etc. Most of the time I'd really rather just run around in the woods and play make-believe games with my friends. The toys were for when the adults wanted me in sight and not getting into trouble lol.
Oh and I did the Pokemon TCG for a while, and I had about 8 Tamagochis/Tamagochi ripoffs, including a Pound Puppies Pocket Pal Pet (say that 10 times fast), and Beanie Babies of course. A lot of you guys are younger than me, so the big fads seem like most of what we have in common...
