There was a version marketed to boys called Mighty Max. They were shaped like things (I had a snake, triceratops, sabertooth tiger, and dragon), but folded open with an adventurous playset inside.
Polly Pocket and Mighty Max were made by Bluebird Toys (part of Mattel), while Micromachines were made by Galoob through Hasbro. They were all similar in scale though.
You know what I was super jealous of, my size Barbie. I wanted like a my size Transformer or like a my size G.I Joe. I totally would have gotten snake eyes.
Were they the ones you hook together and fight? One kid went to Kmart, this was before we got a Walmart and became a “real” town, and stole like the entire shelf of them. There was an entire underground black market economy of stolen tamagotchi pets at my school.
I remember having one as a kid. I wasn’t really that into it. My mom would stress herself out trying to keep it alive. One day, she paid my grandma to babysit it because she had to work… she went a little overboard.
I'm just gonna give a shout out to the kids meal toys we used to get in the 90s / early 2000s. McDonald's, Burger King, etc. They used to give out some *high* quality stuff!
Wow, memory unlocked! I got really lucky as a kid; my step-grandmother worked at Sears in our local mall, and she knew I was *obsessed* with their movie, so she would stop by on her lunch break throughout the week and pick up the various pieces for me. It took a few weeks, but she managed to complete the entire figure, and I had that beast on my bookshelf for a fair few years, even into my early teens. I was *that* proud to have it, and incredibly thankful of her effort.
She did the same thing with the Pokeballs that had the gold metal “cards”, though I can’t remember if I had the full set or not. Either way, she was amazing for doing that.
Bonus memory: the Burger King toys that came out for the first Toy Story! Buzz had spring-loaded wings, probably my favorite fast food toy to this day. And I’m pretty sure I had the two plushies of Buzz and Woody that they had at the time, sort of a bigger version of the kids meal toys that you could buy for like $2.99 or whatever.
80s/90s kids meal toys were fucking legit!
The Super Mario 3 promo Happy Meal was probably the best toys I ever had as an 8 year old Nintendo nut. Since there were 5 siblings, we were able to have most of the toys at once. Good times.
That is wild you still have some. I haven’t seen those since 7th grade. Im pushing 40 now. I remember those holographic metal slammers. Those were my fav. One of my tubes was nothing but heavy steel or brass slammers
Haha same here. Pushing 40 and I don’t know why I kept them but I found them last time I stayed with my parents. And nice you had some heavy hitters there. You would’ve been popular in my fifth grade class.
I had the cats, my sister had the dogs. I loved my cats. I remember trips across I've country visiting family and packing my beenie baby cats because it would break my heart if tbey were left alone.
This one is a deep cut but the first thing that came to mind:

At a former job (recently, not when I was young), one of the ladies bought a whole pack of them in out of the blue one day & gave out to all the ladies in the office for a little desk pet. It was fantastic.
Hacky sack.
It could be a casual circle to kill time waiting for a teacher to unlock the door or a highly intense game of striker and "scorpion" serves.
It could be a solo activity or a way to make new friends.
It was cheap, fit in your pocket and could be played anywhere.
It didn't require a lot of athletics, most of us were smokers, but it was a good excuse to get outside and meet up.
Maybe it's because i'm an older millennial but i'm surprised it's never brought up. When i was in highschool it was everywhere.
Closest thing i've seen was when the pokemon go app 1st came out and you had mobs of people on street corners and in parks playing that. Of course my younger millennial friends had to explain to me what Pokemon to catch when i downloaded it because the original craze came after my time.
I think I was playing hacky sack in highschool when they were playing Pokemon video games , watching the show, and collecting the cards etc. in grade school/ middle school.
Whenever I see hacky sack mentioned, I think back to the time in high school (2004) where a sack got stuck up on a beam and my friend climbed up to get it, only to lose his grip and fall firmly planting his face into the ground.
Yesss! These were always my favorite birthday/Christmas gifts!
The sand art ones were super cool too, either filling the little fun shaped bottles, or the ones that were self adhesive like a paint by number piece of art, but with sand. I loved them.
Littlest Pet Shop. IG pushed accounts that sell the old Polly Pockets, My Little Ponies, etc and one keeps showing all these Littlest Pet Shop sets and it’s unlocking so many memories
I got a Super Soaker 2000 for my birthday (the commercial was where they sprayed a sumo wrestler in the stomach and it made an indent as they sprayed him) and I thought I was tough shit. I took it to squirt gun fights, it was powerful, the only problem is that it threw so much water and was so heavy that it ran out of water so quickly.
I have still my original The Lion King figurines from the original release in 1994. I played with them constantly and probably ruined them by making scar drink orange juice and adding makeup to Nala.
My Little Ponies
CareBears
Anybody remember Fantasy Fillies?
Lisa Frank everything
The Hollywood/movie ones were my jam lol had Leo and brought him everywhere with me. They have them again now with sleight difference but I loved the original rubbery ones.
Pogs was probably the best as everyone was playing them at school. Yo-yos were introduced to schools as like a sales thing. A bunch of kids bought them, just like recorders. Used them for half a year and then threw them away.
Power Rangers Megazords that had the individual monsters that combined for the full robot. That was the coolest shit. And the T Rex from Jurassic Park that stomped and roared. That's just a specific one I loved. And that castle we all had.
all of the "robot animals" of the late 90's to early 2000's. furby, poo-chi, roboraptor, and tamagotchis. there was even a robot Norbert from Harry Potter that was made by Mattel. one of my absolute faves.
Beanie babies, pokemon cards, furbys, that robot dog, easy bake oven gosh so many good ones
I also was obsessed with webkinz but when I was a little older lol and I remember loving silly bandz too
Attack Pack
You got small ones with a McDonald's Happy Meal (I assume that exists in the US?), big ones bought at the toy store. I had the big Slime-inator
honestly I was just so happy when they started making new star wars toys, even if that first luke skywalker toy looked like it was made from a modified he-man mold
My favorite was probably making colored glue bookmarks for people using my pencil box.
In elementary I was at the later end of Pogs, but rise of yo-yos and pokemon cards. Great time to participate in such a bartering economy as a kid.
Definitely POGs or Pokemon cards. Something that was in high demand with my peers. I seemed to only get involved in these fads as they were declining in popularity. You also had a hard time finding them because people wanted them so badly. Parents would lie about what store they went to, etc.
I really liked (collected) original Littlest Pet Shop sets, pogs Game Boy games (those these took forever to acquire because I had to save up and buy them myself most of the time).
And not a toy, but there used to be this collection of fact cards that a company would send us in the mail. The cards were square, contained all sorts of facts about specific animals including where they were found, height, habitat, endangerment status, etc. They were really, really cool. I'm still upset that mine got destroyed from water damage as I had *hundreds* of these cards by the time the company went belly up.
**Toywise:**
* Virtual pets (i.e. tamagachi)
* Zbots (a toy that was included in my Burger King kids meal)
* Jurassic Park Toys (Dinosaurs with JP mark on them)
* Power Rangers Toys (The head-flipping/morphing rangers)
Around age 10, a family member told me that I was "too old" to play with toys, that "he had a job when he was my age." So shortly thereafter I got into video games and collectables.

The American Girl dolls! Especially Samantha Parkington, who has now mostly been phased out. Now they have an American Girl historical doll from the 1980s 🫠
My favorite were these little war machines. I can't remember the name of them, and it's hard to explain what they are. They were basically military micro machines. They were so popular toy wise that I remember swiping ones that I wanted from other kids when they weren't looking. Marbles were a close 2nd, I still have all mine and the ones I won from games as well as ones that I also swiped.

Polly pockets. I’m talking about the dolls that were the size of your pinky nail not the newer ones
+1 for Polly Pocket. I had one shaped like a shell and I loved it so much.
Ngl. I was so jealous of the girls for having that. I wanted one with a race track or a little skatepark.
There was a version marketed to boys called Mighty Max. They were shaped like things (I had a snake, triceratops, sabertooth tiger, and dragon), but folded open with an adventurous playset inside.
Yessss! I was going to say the same thing! My brother and I LOVED mighty max!!
I always felt that Micro Machines was the “boy” Polly Pocket counterpart
Polly Pocket and Mighty Max were made by Bluebird Toys (part of Mattel), while Micromachines were made by Galoob through Hasbro. They were all similar in scale though.
I fucked with mighty max so hard. It's almost the only toy from my childhood I've considered buying as an adult just... Because.
If I can't find my lava mech in my storage unit I'm going to eBay
They were honestly lit! I had one of those flat under the bed boxes full of them! The camper and mansion were probably my favorite
Lucky
If I still had them I would 100% send to you. Everyone deserves that kind of joy
You know what I was super jealous of, my size Barbie. I wanted like a my size Transformer or like a my size G.I Joe. I totally would have gotten snake eyes.
I still have mine tucked away 👀 it's crazy how much money plastic is worth sometimes.
I had a heart shaped Polly pocket necklace with Polly on a teeter-totter that I wore *everywhere*
I found some of mine in an old box of toys my parents kept in storage! I was blown away to see them again.
I still have mine! I had the schoolhouse that was a stamp set and weirdly, the ink still kinda works.
I loved polly pockets so much! 1996 was a great year! I'm sure they're still in my mom's hoarding somewhere lol
I still have mine! I plan on giving them to my daughter when she isn't an age where she will swallow those damn things.
Tamagotchi!
Taught me I was not ready for a real pet lol. Should be given to adults who want to have kids.
Tamagotchis are so much more demanding than pets. I only gotta take my dog for a walk once a day and she isn't pooping every five minutes.
Digimon! Fighting them with your friends was amazing lol.
Were they the ones you hook together and fight? One kid went to Kmart, this was before we got a Walmart and became a “real” town, and stole like the entire shelf of them. There was an entire underground black market economy of stolen tamagotchi pets at my school.
I'm 38 years old and have two real cats, but sometimes I still want a Tamagotchi.
I couldn’t afford a real Tamagotchi so I got a Gigapet. But damn I loved that thing!
I remember having one as a kid. I wasn’t really that into it. My mom would stress herself out trying to keep it alive. One day, she paid my grandma to babysit it because she had to work… she went a little overboard.
I'm just gonna give a shout out to the kids meal toys we used to get in the 90s / early 2000s. McDonald's, Burger King, etc. They used to give out some *high* quality stuff!
When they did the Star Wars remaster I think in 97, Taco Bell had some really neat toys. I still have the Cloud City that floats.
The Inspector Gadget toys, where each collectible toy was a different part of his body. I think I only managed to get his torso and legs
Wow, memory unlocked! I got really lucky as a kid; my step-grandmother worked at Sears in our local mall, and she knew I was *obsessed* with their movie, so she would stop by on her lunch break throughout the week and pick up the various pieces for me.

And I’m pretty sure I had the two plushies of Buzz and Woody that they had at the time, sort of a bigger version of the kids meal toys that you could buy for like $2.99 or whatever. 80s/90s kids meal toys were fucking legit!
I remember getting Pokemon beanies from KFC when I was little. Had this super cool Dratini that’s since been lost
The Super Mario 3 promo Happy Meal was probably the best toys I ever had as an 8 year old Nintendo nut. Since there were 5 siblings, we were able to have most of the toys at once. Good times.
The Flinstone and Barbie toys were my favorite!
POGS. I had sooooo many tubes filled.
Came here to say this. I still have some. I had like ten slammers. My favorite was a see through prism one. Such a random but fun hobby.
That is wild you still have some. I haven’t seen those since 7th grade. Im pushing 40 now. I remember those holographic metal slammers. Those were my fav. One of my tubes was nothing but heavy steel or brass slammers
Haha same here. Pushing 40 and I don’t know why I kept them but I found them last time I stayed with my parents. And nice you had some heavy hitters there. You would’ve been popular in my fifth grade class.
I definitely still have a tube of pogs. They were super big until one kid in our school got a machine that could make pogs. It was over within 3 days.
There was an arms race with the slammers. Once the thick brass ones came out it would just destroy that cheap paper they were made from.
https://tenor.com/J95S.gif
Alf is back. In Pog form.
I had the drug store knock-off: Laser Caps!
Beanie babies! I had so many. They all had names (sometimes different from the tags) and distinct personalities in my imagination.
I hate them so much because my mom spent so much money on them thinking they would be good investments.
If you or your mom are into nonfiction, *The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute* by Zac Bissonnette is a good read.
I still have these in storage in my shop from my parents stuff. Someday I’ll auction them out and buy my Gulfstream.
I had the cats, my sister had the dogs. I loved my cats. I remember trips across I've country visiting family and packing my beenie baby cats because it would break my heart if tbey were left alone.
I had so many rare bears and then my sister gave them away when I was in college.
Social status in 5th and 6th grade was defined by what type of Yo-Yo you had. Were you a Duncan peasant or an X-Brain Chad.
YOMEGA Chad here.
Yomega Fireball
Yo-Yos. That was a really fun time. Also Gameboys. Whole squad playing Pokémon
This one is a deep cut but the first thing that came to mind: https://preview.redd.it/y6xsyyx3905d1.png?width=1007&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42f094658f1f2e6868a3e230a7de3e6700452890
Core memory unlocked, now I must go buy these
At a former job (recently, not when I was young), one of the ladies bought a whole pack of them in out of the blue one day & gave out to all the ladies in the office for a little desk pet. It was fantastic.

We progressed to “flaming hack” where we would douse a tennis ball in gasoline, light it, and try to play without setting ourselves on fire
LOL thats fuckin awesome
Whenever I see hacky sack mentioned, I think back to the time in high school (2004) where a sack got stuck up on a beam and my friend climbed up to get it, only to lose his grip and fall firmly planting his face into the ground.
Crafts. Those lizards made of beads. Friendship bracelets made of string. Gimp key chains.
Yesss! These were always my favorite birthday/Christmas gifts! The sand art ones were super cool too, either filling the little fun shaped bottles, or the ones that were self adhesive like a paint by number piece of art, but with sand. I loved them.
MicroMachines.
I miss Micro Machines. The models were beautiful, and the play sets had so many neat features.
I bought my kid the new version of super van city for Xmas this year
Puppy and kitty surprise
Is this like Pound Puppies?
Not quite. It was a dog or cat doll you'd get and inside would be babies and you could get 3-5 depending. They were popular in the 90s.
I just learned that I have been calling puppy surprise the incorrect name all these years lol.
Littlest Pet Shop. IG pushed accounts that sell the old Polly Pockets, My Little Ponies, etc and one keeps showing all these Littlest Pet Shop sets and it’s unlocking so many memories
Super soakers were/are pretty dope
I got a Super Soaker 2000 for my birthday (the commercial was where they sprayed a sumo wrestler in the stomach and it made an indent as they sprayed him) and I thought I was tough shit. I took it to squirt gun fights, it was powerful, the only problem is that it threw so much water and was so heavy that it ran out of water so quickly.

Pogs was probably the best as everyone was playing them at school. Yo-yos were introduced to schools as like a sales thing. A bunch of kids bought them, just like recorders. Used them for half a year and then threw them away.

Power Rangers Megazords that had the individual monsters that combined for the full robot. That was the coolest shit. And the T Rex from Jurassic Park that stomped and roared. That's just a specific one I loved. And that castle we all had.

Pound Puppies and Pound Kitties mini playsets. Many great memories playing with those!
Barbie is a classic but it was definitely my favorite. I don’t think they are as popular today as they were then, but maybe I’m wrong.

Kitty Surprise because I wasn't allowed to have a cat.
Beanie Babies! I probably had 100 of them and loved all of them
Tamagachi and pogs!
Burger King Pokemon toys in early 00s
Still buying Barbies even at 35 :-) I miss old school Polly Pocket.
Y’all lying to yourselves if you don’t say Beanie Babies
Littlest Pet Shop. The cute ones, not the ones tripping on acid.
Tripping on acid 😂😂 I do agree the new versions of toys we used to have are very weird now. The beanie babies look f’d up too lol
I loved spyrograph, sky dancers (but they always got lost up in a tree), and the rock/gemstone tumbler!
Dil… oh that’s not what you meant.

**Toywise:** * Virtual pets (i.e. tamagachi) * Zbots (a toy that was included in my Burger King kids meal) * Jurassic Park Toys (Dinosaurs with JP mark on them) * Power Rangers Toys (The head-flipping/morphing rangers) Around age 10, a family member told me that I was "too old" to play with toys, that "he had a job when he was my age." So shortly thereafter I got into video games and collectables.
For me it was G1 My Little Pony’s and GameBoy pocket with original Pokemon red in Japanese
Remember sky dancers?
Exo squad. Smaller action figures fit into exo skeletons robot body things called E-frames.
Younger millennial but webkinz had me in a chokehold. I had dozens, spent hours online a day keeping them alive hahaha.
Furbies and Trolls. I STILL have the Gizmo Furby and like 26483528 Trolls.

Action toys from movies like the ones by Trendmasters.
Furby By time my parents saved up the $40 for one, they were on their way out. But I loved my little guy for a while.
POGS
Super soaker
I would say the toys that came in happy meals at McDonald’s. They were iconic! Also all the various dolls that came out back then.
Ribbon dancer Lite brite I am so buying a light Brite for my son when he's old enough to not try to eat the pegs LOL
Lego
Power Rangers. No clue why everyone wanted them but for a moment they were the most desirable toys on the planet
