TOP 10 1970s TOYS 🌟 EVERYONE WANTED

OHMYGOD I GOTTA HAVE IT. We all know that itch. When you see that new toy that ya just have to have. Whether we saw an ad on TV, or played with it at a friends’ houses - I mean how did Justin get this… And of course there was the ever so exciting JC Penny, or Sears Wish List Catalog. I mean my siblings and I spent hours flipping through that ultimate toy wonderland, drooling page after page, circling way too much stuff that santa was never gonna bring, I mean maybe a knock off version or two, but hey, Santa tried. And sometimes, we conveyed the importance enough, and everything fell into place for us to score that perfect toy.

TOP 10 1970s TOYS 🌟 EVERYONE WANTED

I was 10 in 77. it was an amazing time for toys and tv shows!

[david_matheny]

I had several of these and they were all great. Oddly enough, I was very fond of the View-Master Viewer. The realism of the 3-D imagery still fascinates me.

[HummingbirdEighty]

I wish those catalogs would still be out every holiday season! I think A LOT of people would go through those catalogs despite the internet!💖

[ingridfong-daley]

I can still smell the pages of the old Sears Wish Book... hours and hours every year at Christmas, my brother and I scouring the pages and clipping out the items we wanted. (And fighting over the pictures if you wanted what was on the front but somebody else wanted the picture on the reverse page.
Happy times. :)

I come from a family of 10 siblings and we were poor. As a kid I always thought we didn’t get much. By way of toys for us on Christmas Day. But by watching videos like these. I can see how wrong I was. We were so spoiled by my Mom. We had all the popular toys back then. My brothers had Stretch Armstrong, Evil Knievel, Hot Wheels with the racing tracks. We had the Atari 2600 and more. I didn’t have the popular dolls back then. Because I liked drawing and coloring. But one year my Mom bought me the “Velvet Doll.” Where you could push a button on her back and her hair would grow. I loved that doll and still have it today. Right along with all my colored pencils and gel pens. It’s funny though… I never realized just how fortunate we were. Until I started watching these videos. Those were some really great times! Thank you for helping me see. Just how blessed we really were. 😊

My favorite was The wonderful world of Dawn. I love my collection of Dawn dolls.

[StephenDeCesare]

Had a lot of these toys. Favorite was Atari and the Evil Knievel. Thank you so much for the nostalgic look back. They were GREAT times.

As 70s kids, these ring a HUGE bell with me, my brother, and my wife. Those Christmas catalogs DEMANDED hours of attentive detail, being sure to circle ALL the items we could possibly want (always into unreasonable 1000’s of dollars) just so Santa could know what we “might” want, with special asterisks next to those “important” items…

However, Micronauts and Atari were my main thing, despite us having gotten EVERY single item on this list at some point during our growing up! Fantastic work, Nostalgic Nick! Wistful and Merry all at once!

[lesliefitzgerald]

I remember Creepy Crawlers but maybe that was the sixties. Hard to say, but never has there been such a fun and dangerous toy! We bought all kinds of goop, and made all the bugs and reptiles we wanted. Then, the company added Edibles, Flowers and Creeple People. Such good times...

During this Christmas season this brings back so many fond memories. Being from a large family and the middle child I unfortunately got the shaft at Christmas but one year, 1973 somehow I asked for and received the Evil Kenivel Action cycle and van! How excited I was! Total blast. Almost had it stolen when some friends and I searched for hill to crash it down and left the safety of our neighborhood. Only by the charity of some older teenager guys I retained it but was told to get our asses home and never come back! The joy of inner city live in the 70s!!!

Light Bright, Spirograph, and the Mount Everest of board games, the one board game that every kid wanted but none seemed to have, Mouse Trap.

[archstanton]

I also was 10 around that time, being born in 66. These commercial advertisement take me back to my childhood instantly. I remember a particular transparent blue micronaut distracting me for long periods during school. I had many G.I. Joe’s with the fuzzy hair, which the neighbor kids broke.
My brother and i had Stretch Armstrong and stretch monster. A multitude of others to include the Evel Knievel set up. I remember having crash up derby cars that came apart on impact. Planet of the Apes figures. Happy Days dolls.
The AMX race tracks and cars.
The Jonny West and the black Bart guys with their horses. I loved the action figures as a kid.

We all thank you for the amazing upload and walk back through memory lane. To over share further, I still have dreams about recovering my long-lost toys. I do still have two vintage G.I. Joe’s from the late 60s.
Other cool stuff from a time gone but remembered fondly by many.

Long live the kid in us all and the joy a toy brings in imaginations smile.

[wandapender]

Loved this. :) I had the Baby Alive doll, and let's not forget about the legendary Easy Bake Oven! That's back when it actually looked like a lil oven, and not like a microwave nowadays. ;)

[jamesellerbee]

Man you took me back! I had most of the toys on here. The Evil Knievel, Six Million Dollar Man doll especially. The electronic football game was awsome. I would take mine to school. Great time to be a kid.

[PosiFwd]

Beautiful Crissy was 1968, I remember, I got that one along with Dancerina that year :)

[jmbrownell]

My favorite was Matchbox cars. I had 50+ of these, and even had the carrying case. I used to bring them on vacations with my parents and had the cars lined up all over the motel room. 🤣🤣

[santino]

W-o-w!... I had the Evil Knievel Doll w/ Motor Bike & the Six Million Dollar Man Doll... Loved them both... Esp the Steve Austin Doll... Much taller than todays dolls... Great Memories!

[paulmccluney]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane brought back so many great memories.

One of the most romantic gifts my husband gave me was a vintage Sears Christmas catalogue from 1977

One of my favourite toys in the 70’s was my Cher fashion doll. Her clothes were gorgeous and her hair was to her ankles.
