Everyone is mad that I didn't include... Star wars, Atari, Voltron, Etc. This wasn't a list of my favorite toys in the 80s. This was a list of the top selling toys during Christmas time. Toys that were sold out or caused riots. I would have much rather included Voltron than Cabbage patch kids. Later, I will do a video on the BEST toys in the 80s.
I remember me and my Brothers all wanted Voltron for Christmas but we liked the Voltron that was the 5 Lions that formed Voltron. But my Mom didn't know jack squat about Voltron and ended up getting my Brother the 5 Cars that formed Voltron instead and when my Brother opened the wrapping paper and saw it was the cars and not the Lions he got all pissed and started crying lol. My Mom was like WHAT ??? It's Voltron!!! Brother was like YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE!!! These are the cars I wanted the Lions!!! The cars aren't cool they're stupid! 😆That was a detail that our Parents didn't understand and only us kids knew.
Born in 74 and I remember all those toys. I still have 2 of my Smurf toys in my Rad Cave room. He-Man was my biggest thing. I still have all of them and I am working on a pretty cool display case made from an old double door vhs media cabinet and will do a video for it on my channel soon. Thanks for the memories!
I know right😁and the pc principles said they were brainwashing us 🙄 They got them Saturday cartoons canceled 😡They were way better than the weird anime😬that kids watch now🤦♂️
There were some toys in the 80s that came out before they had a cartoon. Masters of the Universe and Sectaurs immediately come to mind. Both had toys that came first.
cant remember the 80s as fun as an adult, we were called the lost generation and not without a reason, see what became of mankind 33 years later. the decay already started with our generation that was born in the 60's. Sure for those babyboomers that were born in the 40's and were in their 40's in the 80s it was maybe alot of fun with all the coke they had available. But for our younger generation it was fubar. now they call me born in 1963 a babyboomer haha. But we know better if you were there.
Guess I’m just 4 months older than you, born the same year. Growing up when we did? Man, I suppose every generation says this, but I truly feel like our generation grew up in the sweet spot for being a kid. Our parents generation and before didn’t have as much and things like technology were much more basic. And kids today just have everything available ALL the time, and nothing seems so special. But the 80’s and 90’s were just a magical time for kids. I miss it so much to this day. Days like your birthday, Christmas, Saturday mornings, or summer vacation? Wow were those amazing. Our toys, our cartoons, our movies, our music, our video games…just rad.
Born in 74 and GI Joe cartoon premiered in fall of 1983 as a special. Then season 1 was 1984 (with best toy line). The 84 GI Joes included: the Hovercraft, Rattler, Snow Serpent, Firefly, Storm Shadow. Best time to be 9 years old and get those toys for birthday and Christmas
Yep. He got the dates wrong. By 1986, they already had new characters such as Flint and SGT. Slaughter that were featured in the later Sunbow episodes.
My Mom refused to sell or get rid of our childhood toys so its always fun when I go to her house for the holidays and get that sweet nostalgia hit going through my old Ninja Turtle, G.I Joe's, WWF, Masters of the Universe toys among many others. My childhood NES and Gameboy still work as new as well.
I was born in July 1979 so we are close in age as I thought. Everything you cover I love, which makes sense now, as we literally grew up with the same toys, movies and culture. I have all my He-men still to this day up in my attic, as well as all my other 80's and early 90's toys. My kids won't let me sell them, so I guess it's theirs now! Happy Holidays!!!
I remember my mom had to call stores all around the city for a nes lol. Been waiting for the 80s life Christmas episodes 👍✨. . . Damn these toys take me down memory lane.♥️... HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE 🎄🎉🎄🎉✨
was that battlecat the one where, if you stripped off the armour, he looked like an angry cringer? still love cringer to this day. even rewatched all the he-man on youtube to see why I loved that green tiger, he's so sweet.
This is great! I was born in 77', so you know i was around all the cool toys. Holly Hobby oven, Tinker Bell makeup, and an odd memeory of getting a Brooke Sheilds barbie in my stocking. My 15 year old started solving the Rubix at 8, and has had several puzzles hes been ablee to complete in a short time. Not me! He must be an odd one. 😆
Born in 74, loved the Saturday morning cartoons Voltron & Transformers were my favorite toy line. As a kid I wanted all the toys but my family were not rich & once I got older I was able to buy back my favorite 80's toys oh & some GPK cards as well. Thanks for the trip back memory lane. 🤖😎👍
We have a pond with a stream flowing out of it all the time and I would always play with my toys around that stream. So the commercials all ways gave me ideas. I always had fun. I remember making a boat out of a phone hand set. I glued parts on it to make it feel different than a phone.
I didn't grow up in the 80s, but I was born in the late 80s. To me, all of the coolest toys came out in the 80 or 90. This list contains so many great toys. I always see people complain about cartoons in the 80s being nothing but toy commercials. I think that's only half true. Yes, they were made to sell toys, but some of them I think stand on their own. Gi joe was and is a great cartoon, He man and the masters of the universe is probably one of my favorite 80s cartoons. A not as great example of a cartoon standing on its own is the Transformers cartoon. It is pretty good if you can ignore all of the animation errors. The Nes and Famicom are great. I love the movie The Wizard, even though I know that it's not a great movie. I watch the movie the wizard probably twice a year. I didn't grow up in the 80s, but most of the toys and cartoons I enjoyed came out of that decade.
In the 80's my dad was in the Air Force, and in 1980, we moved to Torrejon Air Base, near Madrid Spain, well how that relates to your video is that the majority of those toy commercials from the early 80's were filmed in our neighborhood in Spain, with American military kids. A good friend of mine was in several of the GI Joe commercials, and when we moved back to the states in 1984, we both moved to Spokane Washington, Fairchild AFB, and since we were now teens we would give him so much hell for being in those GI Joe commercials, and would just randomly yell GO JOE at him, good times, and lots of good memories about these toys.
Man…I remember the best Christmas present I had at 6 years old around 1986 was Not a Nintendo System but I got a TYCO train set and a TYCO Cliffhanger Night Glow slot car set. I believe it’s still at my parents basement somewhere. The 1980s was the golden years!
Got the NES from lay away at K-mart. Parents got it for me as a little kid. Always loved Gi Joes and He-Man figures and the cartoons. Also loved transformers. Will there ever be a era in cartoons and toys like back then?
My Mom worked for a temp agency that sent her to World of Wonder in Milpitas, Ca (I think) working like 12 hours a day to n the Teddy Ruxpin assembly line. They were darn near hallucinating they were so tired trying to produce for Christmas! And I didn't even get one. Lol
One year I got the Batman and Robin with the magnets in their hands. They were cool. Also the mad scientist lab. You had a monster skeleton, but this flesh on it, then put it in a tank that dissolved the skin off.
Wow...that G.I. Joe Aircraft Carrier...a huge toy! Awesome! The Transformers toyline was just great. I had Megatron and Soundwave, but they got broken in the end. MOTU figures I also had, but they got broken or lost too. Lego was huge too in the 80s to 90s. M.A.S.K. was huge too in the 80s. I also had a couple of plush Popples in the 80s. Wirrel Warrel cubes and Yoyo's were a thing in the 80s also.
I remember the CPK riots of the 80s! Isn't the movie Jingle All The Way loosely based on that phenomenon? I'm a bit older than you Curt, but I loved by GI Joe circa 1967. Got the sailor for my 5th birthday. Also Hot Wheels were huge in the late 60s, early 70s. In 1977, I begged for a Mattel Electronic Football, figured the 30.00 price tag was too high and didn't have much hope but lo and behold I did get it! Christmas memories 😆
Dude! I'm one year older than you. June 1978!!! Grew up near Van Nuys Airport, Gothic and Valjean. We had all these toys...except Teddy R....too expensive. We didn't get the NES until 1990...bought it from my best friend, used...lol....
I don’t know if Transformers were as popular as GI. Joe! Actually I was more of a Star Wars 8 He-Man toy fans & I loved Video Games! Especially the Adam Coleco Computer.Then the Nintendo NES came out. I remember seeing Teddy Rux at Lionel’s Playworld. Thank You 🙏 for making this video! Merry Christmas 🎄 to you Kurt.
The first generation of Transformers definitely died off quickly in 1986 while the popularity of GI Joe toys only increased and dominated for the rest of the decade.
In short, action figure collections (including Transformers) dominated my Christmas wishes in the decade, with a few times when my priority was something else like a boom box and Nintendo games. On the subject of GI Joe toy commercials, there is a RUclips channel called "GI Joburg" where guys make elaborate videos with the toys that are like the grown-up version of those commercial, combined with the music of the cartoon series and the tone of the comic books. I had a younger sibling and sort of lived vicariously through him when it came to the toys targeting younger kids. We finally got a Teddy Ruxpin in my household and some other kid broke its mouth. It was always the other kids who would break stuff just by looking at it seemed.
My heart was feeling a bit cheerful seeing all these; BUT when you failed to mention the Ninja Turtles, my heart sunk! lol I just discovered your channel from the incredible work you put in to show us the locations from Blood In Blood Out. SUBSCRIBED SIR 😁
2:36 pvc toys where very common the he-man toys are very expensiv to get if you want them today it was like 400 $ now its already like 3000 $ if my parents actually didnt take them away i would still have them board games, cards, collection books (i had ghostbusters), clothing, game consoles of that time or games, bigger pvc toys such as castle greyskull or something, skateboard, rollerblades, maybe a bike, maybe a fuel-bike depending on age, crash money, a telescop, maybe a analog camera, maybe camcorder, a music device was also common headphones/music casetts/cds/amplifier/radio, vhs tapes , maybe a small trip somewhere in your town, a clock, airsoft guns,pocket knife and many more
I remember going to a free preview of the movie The Wizard and they gave away a power glove if you had a ticket under your seat of course it wasn’t my seat because we always will sit in the back of the theater and the ticket was in a middle seat but still a cool memory i was 9 years old then
I had Transformaers, G.I. Joes & Star Wars toys.....Then had the M.A.S.K. toys and Centurions toys too!......FOr some reason I decided to take apart all my toys as well!...lol...Man I regret that!
Hasbro and Jim Henson passing on Teddy Ruxbin wasn't a good idea? Hmmm, I don't think so.🤔 How did you get Gloveball without the Power Glove? Something is not right. Anyway, you just took us on a time machine of fun. It reminded me of my Christmas getting toys and stuff. I loved it.
Great list...Personally, my top 3 would be your 6, 5, and then 4. I never got into GI Joe, but loved the set up. I had most of the Transformers, I liked those a lot but the reason I wasn't more into those were because Masters of the Universe was my thing!!! I still have every single piece! Thankfully, I'm not into any of the new lines since the originals. I did get the 40th anniversary He-Man, Battle Cat, and the dual He-Man and Skeletor set. We really did have the best toys!!! Voltron and Battle of the Planets figures were my other cult classic favorites...
When the movie The Wizard came out I had to have a Power Glove. I got one that Christmas and my parents did the whole hide it until the end thing with it. I was so disappointed because it sucked so bad, the control capability was absolute garbage. But it looked cool! 🤘😁👍
New subscriber here, luv this channel. Do you think you could do a filming location for the film, ‘Less Than Zero?’ It came on tonight and I was wondering about the places it was shot. 😊
Im an 80s baby and LOVE/LOVED 80s and 90s toys, but I HATED the Rubix Cube. EFF that thing. P.S. What did I love? Action figures--specifically Ghostbusters, which I also had the Ghostbusters firehouse and car, and then my Terminator 2 Arnold Schwarzenegger action figure.
Everyone is mad that I didn't include...
Star wars, Atari, Voltron, Etc. This wasn't a list of my favorite toys in the 80s. This was a list of the top selling toys during Christmas time. Toys that were sold out or caused riots.

The cars aren't cool they're stupid! 😆That was a detail that our Parents didn't understand and only us kids knew.
Cabbage Patch Kids was the biggest Christmas craze of the 80s.
Pretty sure ATARI was a best seller if not THE best seller. No???
Born in 74 and I remember all those toys. I still have 2 of my Smurf toys in my Rad Cave room. He-Man was my biggest thing. I still have all of them and I am working on a pretty cool display case made from an old double door vhs media cabinet and will do a video for it on my channel soon.
Thanks for the memories!
A BMX was the best ever thing i got for Christmas in the 80s 🙂
Gotta love being a kid in the 80s they literally made cartoons to advertise for toys and cereal. What a time to be alive
I know right😁and the pc principles said they were brainwashing us 🙄 They got them Saturday cartoons canceled 😡They were way better than the weird anime😬that kids watch now🤦♂️
@@bryanscarboddi1210 you got that right
Now they make live action cartoons to sell the toys. Avengers,spiderman ect.
There were some toys in the 80s that came out before they had a cartoon. Masters of the Universe and Sectaurs immediately come to mind. Both had toys that came first.
So glad I grew up in the 80s, He-man and Transformers were the coolest toys ever!
Born in 77, I remember all these things well..the 80s had to be one of the best decades to be a kid..probably to be an adult also..
cant remember the 80s as fun as an adult, we were called the lost generation and not without a reason, see what became of mankind 33 years later. the decay already started with our generation that was born in the 60's.

Great video Kurt!! I remember all of those toys. I owned a few of them.
My cousins had the aircraft carrier. Go upstairs and it was right there on the left. Sat there in that spot for a number of years

ThunderCats HOOOOOOOO!!! Lion O when you stick the device in his back and his eyes glow 😎🤘
i have a ljn original plush snarf toy, i found him on Ebay, he's cute!
Loved the Christmas intro :D
Star Wars figures was what all my friends were into.
I gifted my nephew one of all time favorite Christmas toy . The Fun to Drive toy Corvette for Christmas He loved it
Good call on your list.
Boom boxes with double cassette decks were big too. I wanted a Fisher PH-405 sooooooo bad, and got one! Never been happier in my life.
Man…I remember the best Christmas present I had at 6 years old around 1986 was Not a Nintendo System but I got a TYCO train set and a TYCO Cliffhanger Night Glow slot car set. I believe it’s still at my parents basement somewhere. The 1980s was the golden years!

I was one of the lucky ones to have the Aircraft Carrier and the Terradrome! Being an only child was AWESOME 🤘❤️
One of my favorites was the Adventure People.
Merry Christmas.
Many of us brought Rubiks Cube before Christmas.. Including the scaled down key chain version 😂
Merry Christmas to you and your Lady .
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
My Mom worked for a temp agency that sent her to World of Wonder in Milpitas, Ca (I think) working like 12 hours a day to n the Teddy Ruxpin assembly line. They were darn near hallucinating they were so tired trying to produce for Christmas! And I didn't even get one. Lol
One year I got the Batman and Robin with the magnets in their hands. They were cool. Also the mad scientist lab. You had a monster skeleton, but this flesh on it, then put it in a tank that dissolved the skin off.
Very good decade the 80s
Love seeing Ken Ober in that Jenga commercial.
It's amazing how similar you look to Justin Scarred! Great videos.
Hi 80 Life you tube channel Love my favorite one fan Big Mary Christmas 🎄 ☃️ ❄️ Happy New year 2024 🥳 Toys 🧸 80
As a kid growing up in the early 80’s I like the toy Stompers
Wow...that G.I. Joe Aircraft Carrier...a huge toy! Awesome!
The Transformers toyline was just great. I had Megatron and Soundwave, but they got broken in the end.
MOTU figures I also had, but they got broken or lost too.
Lego was huge too in the 80s to 90s.
M.A.S.K. was huge too in the 80s.
I also had a couple of plush Popples in the 80s.
Wirrel Warrel cubes and Yoyo's were a thing in the 80s also.
MASK and Dino Riders are underrated, great toys.
Micro Machines , MASK, Tonka trucks , and Huffy BMX bikes top the list for me. 😎😎
I remember the CPK riots of the 80s! Isn't the movie Jingle All The Way loosely based on that phenomenon? I'm a bit older than you Curt, but I loved by GI Joe circa 1967. Got the sailor for my 5th birthday. Also Hot Wheels were huge in the late 60s, early 70s. In 1977, I begged for a Mattel Electronic Football, figured the 30.00 price tag was too high and didn't have much hope but lo and behold I did get it! Christmas memories 😆
I remember getting Castle Greyskull for Christmas one year.
i had the ewok village
I still remember the smell of the slime, I got the slime pit for Christmas
M.A.S.K will always be my #1
Dude! I'm one year older than you. June 1978!!! Grew up near Van Nuys Airport, Gothic and Valjean.
We had all these toys...except Teddy R....too expensive. We didn't get the NES until 1990...bought it from my best friend, used...lol....
I don’t know if Transformers were as popular as GI. Joe!
Actually I was more of a Star Wars 8 He-Man toy fans & I loved Video Games!
Especially the Adam Coleco Computer.Then the Nintendo NES came out.
I remember seeing Teddy Rux at Lionel’s Playworld.
Thank You 🙏 for making this video!
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you Kurt.
The first generation of Transformers definitely died off quickly in 1986 while the popularity of GI Joe toys only increased and dominated for the rest of the decade.
In short, action figure collections (including Transformers) dominated my Christmas wishes in the decade, with a few times when my priority was something else like a boom box and Nintendo games.
On the subject of GI Joe toy commercials, there is a RUclips channel called "GI Joburg" where guys make elaborate videos with the toys that are like the grown-up version of those commercial, combined with the music of the cartoon series and the tone of the comic books.
I had a younger sibling and sort of lived vicariously through him when it came to the toys targeting younger kids. We finally got a Teddy Ruxpin in my household and some other kid broke its mouth. It was always the other kids who would break stuff just by looking at it seemed.
Does anyone remember Toy Villa in East Los Angeles on Whittier Blvd? I remember they had a huge GI Joe section.
LJN Wrestling figures should’ve made the list…I just stumbled across your channel..luv it!!
Colors by Teddy Ruxpin. lol
Awesome list
Merry Christmas Kurt & to you're family as well.. U didn't really tell the babysitter never come back did you? hahaha
A very late Merry Christmas... Better late than never! haha. No, she is still a friend of our family.
remember the power glove scene in nightmare on elm street series
My heart was feeling a bit cheerful seeing all these; BUT when you failed to mention the Ninja Turtles, my heart sunk! lol
I just discovered your channel from the incredible work you put in to show us the locations from Blood In Blood Out.
SUBSCRIBED SIR 😁
Now we need a Top 10 Boy Toys Only 😎🤘
I loved Clyde's Car Crusher!
I remember all of those toys, but for me, I was a kid in the 60s and a teen in the 70s.
2:36 pvc toys where very common
the he-man toys are very expensiv to get if you want them today
it was like 400 $ now its already like 3000 $
if my parents actually didnt take them away i would still have them
board games, cards, collection books (i had ghostbusters), clothing,
game consoles of that time or games, bigger pvc toys such as castle greyskull or something, skateboard, rollerblades, maybe a bike, maybe a fuel-bike depending on age, crash money, a telescop, maybe a analog camera, maybe camcorder, a music device was also common headphones/music casetts/cds/amplifier/radio, vhs tapes , maybe a small trip somewhere in your town, a clock, airsoft guns,pocket knife
and many more
i could never solve the Rubik's Cube, but I do remember having more fun with the Rubik's Snake.
I was wondering if you were going to mention #1 because I remember the news stories and the riots those things caused when I was a kid in the '80s!
I remember going to a free preview of the movie The Wizard and they gave away a power glove if you had a ticket under your seat of course it wasn’t my seat because we always will sit in the back of the theater and the ticket was in a middle seat but still a cool memory i was 9 years old then
I had Transformaers, G.I. Joes & Star Wars toys.....Then had the M.A.S.K. toys and Centurions toys too!......FOr some reason I decided to take apart all my toys as well!...lol...Man I regret that!
My mom had to stand in line for hours for a cabbage patch doll.
What a wild time to be alive
My neighbors had the aircraft carrier . It was stupid big. Took forever to put together too
Maybe do a video on 80's board games. Seems like Milton Bradley had one for every cartoon and toy imaginable.
Hasbro and Jim Henson passing on Teddy Ruxbin wasn't a good idea? Hmmm, I don't think so.🤔
How did you get Gloveball without the Power Glove? Something is not right. Anyway, you just took us on a time machine of fun. It reminded me of my Christmas getting toys and stuff. I loved it.
Hey man, love your content, what about doing a filming location video for the 87 movie "killer workout"
I had that Smurfs wallpaper
Awesome
merry Toymans thanks for memory lane
lol contradiction in terminis at 03:26
I wanted and received “Smarty Bear 🐻’ instead of Teddy Ruxpin
I know it’s not a toy but one of the biggest things everyone wanted for Christmas in the 80’s was a swatch watch, maybe do a video on that
Great list...Personally, my top 3 would be your 6, 5, and then 4. I never got into GI Joe, but loved the set up. I had most of the Transformers, I liked those a lot but the reason I wasn't more into those were because Masters of the Universe was my thing!!! I still have every single piece! Thankfully, I'm not into any of the new lines since the originals. I did get the 40th anniversary He-Man, Battle Cat, and the dual He-Man and Skeletor set. We really did have the best toys!!! Voltron and Battle of the Planets figures were my other cult classic favorites...
I should probably watch the video first but did anyone have manta force? Or Dino riders? Awesome
Have a Merry Chistmas
TMNT were ridiculously popular in the 80's and 90's.
When the movie The Wizard came out I had to have a Power Glove. I got one that Christmas and my parents did the whole hide it until the end thing with it. I was so disappointed because it sucked so bad, the control capability was absolute garbage. But it looked cool!
🤘😁👍
Yep it happened here in st Louis over the cabbage patch kids
You got G.I. JOE in the mornings? We got it weekdays at 4pm.
Had to run home from the bus stop to catch the intro!
New subscriber here, luv this channel. Do you think you could do a filming location for the film, ‘Less Than Zero?’ It came on tonight and I was wondering about the places it was shot. 😊
I was too poor to afford any of this. Barely even got Garbage Pail kids bubble gum cards. Sad times for me back then.
Man, how did Voltron not make this list
FACTS!!!! 😢
Voltron, WWF ljn and the ATeam. Not sure what this guy is smoking
This is not his list. It's a Christmas list of the most popular toys. Not most popular toys of all the 1980s.
Arti I got for Christmas and pac man came with mine
Im an 80s baby and LOVE/LOVED 80s and 90s toys, but I HATED the Rubix Cube. EFF that thing.
P.S. What did I love? Action figures--specifically Ghostbusters, which I also had the Ghostbusters firehouse and car, and then my Terminator 2 Arnold Schwarzenegger action figure.
Star wars toys were the biggest selling toys 80 to 86
Honorable mention: The Mattel handheld electronic football game.
The 80's handheld games never get the attention they deserve.
