Top 10 Toy Lines of the 2000s


these toys ruled at the turn of the
century challenging three-dimensional
puzzles that are more fun to build than
you ever imagined welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 toy lines
from the 2000s for this list we’ve
looked at those toys that dominated the
children’s market in the 2000s it
doesn’t matter if they existed before
our decade only that their main era of
popularity was within it right 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 ten finger boards
let’s face it a lot of us wanted to be
able to skate but not a lot of us could
you do that – yeah just not in these
pens thanks to the finger board everyone
could score a skate park experience
without the grazed knees sometimes
they’re used to plan out elaborate
tricks that’ll later be tried out in
real size sometimes they’re just used
for fun
with a huge variety of wheels trucks and
deck designs these tiny toys were like
little windows into your personality if
you want it to look tough you would go
for a flaming skull if you wanted to
look sensitive you’d go for a non
flaming skull knuckle pads weren’t
necessary but a gnarly attitude was
number nine nerf n-strike you can
dominate within strife
nerf had been the main supplier of
harmless playground weaponry for years
but even they outdid themselves with
their newest and most badass line yet
and strike the rapid-fire Raider the
full auto stampede and for precision
blasting the long strike these things
are so powerful
surely you need a license and they are
massive as well you have to work out
before you can wield one of these bad
boys the commercials told us to build a
house of cards and knock it down but we
all turned on our best friends with this
in hand how could you not let this sort
of power go to your head it’s nurse or
nothing number 8 heck no the robotic
puppy oh well
meet tech no no responds to sound in
life computer technology inevitably
crept into our toy boxes during this
decade and techno was one of those
leading the way I am angry first we had
real-life pets then we had Tamagotchi
and then in 2000 came this techno
to please he didn’t need walking his
food didn’t smell bad and he was
definitely toilet trained in return for
his low maintenance a set of batteries
would have his eyes lighting up and his
tail wagging man’s best friend had just
become very very functional and gave
birth to a line of other not so furry
friends what she needs and launch his
bow number 7 geo mag
in 1998 the Toei construction system got
serious with geo mag the imagination was
fuelled by magnets a box full of
magnetic balls and short connecting rods
these were definitely small parts to
keep out of reach of children
but if you were old enough not to eat
everything you got your hands on then
you are old enough to enter into the
murky world of magnetism if you ever
made anything of any note you felt like
a real-life engineer if you ever made
anything that moved you felt like
Einstein it was enough to win geo
magnetite Allah
of the Year step into a new dimension
glowing in the dark a new adventure
number 6 webkinz so many pets to choose
Feb the days when a simple soft toy was
sufficient we’re long gone in this
decade introduced in 2005 webkinz was
all about merging the cute and cuddly
with the world wide web you bought the
animal toy you retrieved your unique
code and you went with toy in hand to
the computer that’s where the magic
happened a few left clicks here a few
passwords there and all of a sudden your
pug dog plaything had been pixelated
from this point on the possibilities
were as endless as your internet
allowance and by 2006 1 million online
accounts had been created
is everything webkinz number five Mighty
Beanz collectible something’s are a toy
shop standard for any generation and
Mighty Beanz we’re the craze for the
2000s kid with their licensed designs
and compact size way back when there was
the clown that no matter how hard you
hit you couldn’t knock it down
well you bulls waddle but don’t fall
down introduced in 2002 Mighty Beanz
employed the same simple technology but
made it mini and flickable the game was
like modern-day marbles and the toys
were like up-to-date crazy bones they
were really something when they were
jumping and they were really cool if you
were at school and the washer and roll
your Mighty Beanz around the racetrack
to win number four
beyblades
lady beans were a must have but
beyblades were the biggest miniature
accessory between 2000 and 2005 straight
out of Japan in simple terms these
things reinvented the spinning top you
could personalize and strengthen your
toy for optimum performance making this
game as much about strategy as it was
about spinning with a range of dynamic
designs and an anime series built around
it you felt pretty cutting edge with a
beyblade in your pocket if ever you were
scheduled at the base stadium at
breaktime then nerves would not allow
you to concentrate in class when it
comes to beyblade you’re only ready to
win when you’re ready for anything
number three razor scooters
extreme sports have garnered an
incredible following since the turn of
the century from skate boards to
snowboards to surfboards to scooters
made popular around the turn of the new
millennium
razor scooters became the coolest way
from A to B and while they were an
awesome addition to playtime sports time
or just as a mode of transportation the
wicked thing about these wheels was the
way we carried them no longer was the
scooter cumbersome these things folded
into functionality they looked best
poking out of your backpack or casually
held under one arm
they were pimped my ride playground
addition just step on the sparking bar
to lay down a blazing trail of sparks
number two brats shimmer sparkle shine
if you had a passion for fashion or
perhaps you wanted one or perhaps Barbie
just wasn’t fitting the bill anymore
then brats where the toys for you chosen
then brought to market in 2001 these
dolls had an attitude that set them
apart from the rest
realism radio they demanded to be taken
seriously and their owners demanded the
same don’t theorize accessorize is what
we were told and that’s exactly what we
tried to do even if we didn’t entirely
know what it meant
with brats the time for play was over
the time for trends was now though they
prompted a Mattel lawsuit and
accusations of sexual ization the Bratz
brand with its TV web film and music
presents thrive
before we pull our top pick out of the
toy box here are a few honorable
mentions
you can fly havoc in any direction with
ultimate accuracy havoc maneuvers under
over even through the toughest obstacles
walk whoa
or create the next move live on the edge
it’s all about you
program a combination of moves and Robo
sapiens interactive reflex system makes
him spring to life with plenty of a
Detroit with just two wheels and a
killer flexing motion you just twist and
go
up in the web plastering soup tons of
crime-busting web loads a whip lesson
action for maximum satisfaction number
one Lego Lego is here hey kid look
interconnecting pieces of plastic sold
in bright colors Lego was first invented
by olie kirk christiansen
in denmark and while it was first
manufactured in 1949 it was still a top
toy in 2009 there is some serious
longevity in those little bricks the
first decade of the new millennium
saw the company really expand into all
areas of media and enjoy particular
success with their specific themed sets
discover the castle secrets and explore
its mysteries
Harry Potter Lego was a huge hit as was
lord of the Rings Lego Disney Lego
pretty much every type of Lego you could
think of it’s in your hands to help
Indiana Jones prepare the getaway and
bring home the treasure where other
