Toys have a way of taking you back to your younger self, to the days when you were carefree and green to the ways of the world. If you were growing up during the 1980s or ’90s, you likely knew the lyrics to the “Full House” theme song, associated back-to-school shopping with florescent unicorn folders, and would save a week’s worth of allowance to buy a set of limited-edition Pogs. Are you a child of the mid-1980s to early ’90s? Here are 10 toys you probably loved and may still be hoarding in your attic:
