Question about toys

I didn't have too many as a kid, but I obtained well over 100 in my 30s. They started making a new line in which they looked more 'normal', some being shorter, taller, or fatter and being presented as more racially diverse and with many different hair colors and textures. These were the Barbies I'd always wanted, not the pencil thin blondes that were available when I was a kid.

Your silica packet avatars remind me of when I was a kid, I found such a packet in a toybox and refused to touch it for, idk, 15 minutes? 30? I thought it was going to explode. It had WARNING written all over it.

They really do make a big stink over nothing, don't they.

This was the Barbie that got me collecting. I was so happy to find her! Finally! One that looked like me! Well, I don't wear denim. So then I bought a second Barbie that had a black skirt and traded them out. And then I just kept collecting..

I had a green spaceman that I kept for far too long. Also trains, "tinker toys", a chemistry set.

I have 2 sisters...so...yes..we used to have so many Barbies, collected throughout the years.
I learnt how to sew back then...because we used to create so many clothes for them.
But I was the tailor, among the 3
When we grew up we gave them away.


We also used to have the Italian version of the Barbie

When I was a kid all of the Barbies were very thin, very chesty, and very blonde.

No batmen or barbies. We did have marbles and cap-guns though. Also some more dangerous things - like the bows and arrows we made from canes, and where one ended up in the side of my head - being careless, and not fired at me. :eek: We also had train-sets, Meccano, and other stuff I can't remember.

I loved bows and arrows.

I didn't grow up as a girl, so my dolls were called "action figures".

When I was by myself I was more into LEGO, though.
