let’s go back to the good old days
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
toy lines from the 1990s the Superbike
scoring light as but that’s locked on
alert technology that warns you when
you’re in someone’s sights for this list
we’ve looked at those toys that
dominated the children’s market in the
1990s now stretching fun farther than
ever before it doesn’t matter if they
existed before our decade only that
their main era of popularity was within
it finally no game consoles as that’s a
list for another day this is part of a
series of videos ranging from the 1960s
to the 2000s number 10 beanie babies
launched in 1993 beanie babies remain
one of the cutest cuddliest most
collectible toy crazes to ever occur
filled with plastic pellets rather than
traditional stuffing these things were
easy to pose easy to squeeze and very
difficult not to like because of ties
strategy to regularly retire designs on
a routine basis barely a weekend passed
without kids nagging their parents to
buy the latest edition for their family
the best thing about them they were a
guilty pleasure for moms and dads as
well and once teenie beanies hit the
market things got littler and even more
lovable number 9 Furby Furby the
technological toy revolution began in
the 90s and Furby was the flagbearer
toward the end of the decade simple soft
and squishy ‘no Swizz no longer
satisfying kids needed walking talking
self-sufficient super toys Furby worked
on the basis that the more you played
with it the cleverer it got and we
played with it a lot with a wide range
of colors eyelids that actually moved
and an annoyingly awesome voice
they did absolutely nothing for our
grammar but absolutely everything for
our playground reputation
baby and that helped the toy sell 14
million in 1999 alone
number eight creepy crawlers and Easy
Bake Oven stomach churning disgustingly
realistic bugs it’s a battle of the
sexes at eight with boys and girls bound
to their light bulb powered ovens
reinforcing gender stereotypes for the
next generation I love my easy bake oven
little girls like to bake pretty things
right and little guys like to be gross
right both originally introduced in the
early 60s the Easy Bake Oven was the
first step toward becoming a domestic
goddess creepy-crawlers was the first
step toward working in the reptile house
the cakes were just passable and the
bugs definitely more believable but we
all know that wasn’t the point it’s all
about the process
what’s ideas but make it does its work
you’ll have stomach-churning
disgustingly realistic bugs number seven
troll dolls even if you didn’t
consciously collect these little guys
there appeared to be a constant stream
of them passing through your bedroom
each baby sized troll has a secret
hidden jewel and each jewel that it’s
special Sparkle is about the publishing
of troll dolls seem to be taking over
the toy world for much of the 90s
inspiring inside every one of us at
least a little bit of talent as a hair
stylist they may have been created in
1959 they may have been popular in the
60s and 70s they weren’t cuddly and they
weren’t conventionally cute but they
were seriously seriously cool nowadays
trolls are mean people on the internet
but once upon a time they were our funky
haired friends goal kids have the
adorable face of rust rolls and of body
than so soft you can’t stop hugging it
number six pokemon cards
I think I am collecting things in
general was the hobby of the 90s kid
we all remember magic cards collecting
pokemon cards though that wasn’t your
hobby that was your life this is a
Pokemon strategy card game playing this
card game could help you finish your
Pokemon training skills created in 1996
the multi colored multi-talented quirky
creatures formed the basis of a trading
card game so addictive so intense so
overwhelmingly important that many
schools actively prohibited it our home
workplace crunched in the bottoms of our
bags our pokemon cards pristine in
presentation binders should you score a
shiny Charizard or a holographic
hitmonlee then who cares about that
effing geography you were king
remember it’s about strategy number 5
virtual pets my Tamagotchi changes so
heavenly and love its elegant color the
tense relationship between virtual
reality and actual reality was something
that defined the 90s toy trade mine’s
done so many good G’s it has more angel
power now mine doesn’t my Tamagotchi was
a handheld often keychain always
entertaining computer-generated pet that
every kid just had to have where once
the ears of fluffy the family rabbit
might have been played with now the
buttons of Bandai’s greatest export were
all any child needed it taught us how to
care for something on a daily basis but
it also showed us what would happen if
we forgot to feed it that wasn’t so fun
feeding play-doh your heart’s content
number 4 super soakers it’s a water gun
of a higher caliber there was a time
when a water pistol was a humble simple
contraption but the Super Soaker changed
the water fighting world forever first
sold in 1989 this thing revolutionized
every last aspect of the summertime
weapon the triggers were more ergonomic
the canisters more aesthetically
pleasing the pump-action made us all
feel like action heroes but most
importantly the shot was seriously
powerful now that pressure
when you got hit by one of these you
didn’t expect dry clothes for a week
never had a product name more perfectly
described the product itself Oh
only injured after six days away
number three nerve basic you’re either
on one end of a nerve weapon or via from
a summertime gun to an every time gun
since 1970 knife made many a foamy fun
thing from footballs to basketballs –
baseballs
we’ve been yours liquidator bat your
swing creates a tidal wave of power but
this non expanding recreational foam was
most famous as high performance
playground weaponry the child-friendly
firearms became known as blasters and
they trumped anything else that your
friends could throw at you as the old
adage went its nerve or nothing the only
equipment necessary for many a recess
war nerf was so cool they even had a
young Seth Green on their TV commercials
what’s better than hit the mall hitting
it with a nerf slingshot way before
Austin Powers Green was all about
firepower
definitely
number two pogs newsflash

collectively collectible toys made up
over half of our 90s countdown crazy
bones is another to just miss the cut
battle but was there ever has there ever
and will there ever be a craze that
catches on quite as effectively as pogs

Hawaii and when it came back in the 90s
many kids didn’t even know that these
small discs with simple designs splashed
across them were part of a game they
just liked to look at them but there was
method to the madness a mixture of luck
and skill with the slammer
playing for keeps was like putting your
life on the line separately before we
pull our top pick out of the toy box
