Does it have to be 80's toys? I don't know of any 80's toys I had as a kid that I was fond of, but I was an 86 baby so most of my toys were 90's that I remember and know I loved.

Awesome. Then I know which toy I'd pick. I loved MMPR as a kid, especially Kimberly. She was my favorite. I loved my auto-morphin Ranger figure I had of her. I'd keep it with me often. It got lost over the years; we never did find it, though I found my yellow Trini Ranger. I did buy a re-release of her though because I was fond of it :)

This is a random image I found on the 'net. You could flip the Ranger heads from the teenage heads to the helmet heads by pressing down on the belt.

There's also something else, and while not a toy, I did always play with it. I got a tape player one year for Christmas. It was the kind that you could carry around and listen to music with. It really was the ugliest colors- tan color, with dark brown on the cassette case and buttons. The handle was bright orange. I loved that thing because I could play my Dolly Parton tapes on it. Mom says I even named the thing Dolly. I don't remember that, but I do remember there were times I'd take it to bed with me. I don't know what happened to it; I still have all my tapes though :)

Thanks for sharing your personal private feelings with us Chibi ! :-)

I also loved the first season of Power Rangers...I remember that I
built a Mega-sword-robot(don t know if this is the correct notation) out of LEGO ...
I had a blue Ranger ... he was my favourite Ranger ! :-D
The best things I remember of the Powerrangers is a very good Super Nintendo Fighting-game I had and the movie was also extremely awesome ... I loved the transformation-scenes ! ;-)
Sadly the favourite toys often get lost or are selled on flea-markets but thanks to ebay one can buy those
precious objects again and often even in unopened box ! ^^

A tan-colour-tape-player which plays Dolly Parton songs is really fancy ! :-))))) ;-)

They are remastering the MMPR series and releasing it in January on tv again. I do have all the SNES games though I've not played them recently. They are such fun though.

I loved my tape player. I loved my tapes too which is why I always make sure I have a cassette player built into the portable CD player I have so I can play them again

Well the MMPR season was divided into 3 seasons until they went to Zeo if I remember correctly. Unless you mean the original season with all of the original Rangers before Jason, Zack, Trini, and Kim left? I loved the first 3 seasons, and even Zeo was all right. After Kim left I still enjoyed the Pink Ranger they replaced her with.

@Chibi:
When the actors were replaced my fascination for the series got smaller ...

I loved the Dinozords ! :-D
Zordon was cool too and the first rangers Jason, Zachy, Billy, Trini, Kimberly and later Tommy were my heros ! :-D
Rita as the villain was really nice ! ;-)

The worst part of the saga that I sometime watched partly was Ninja storm ... compared to the first story with the first great cast this new story was extremely boring and silly ... it s only a personal opinion ! ;-)

All of the childhood toys that meant a lot to me, I no longer have. They were sold in yard sales and such.

I had 3 different versions of Rainbow Brite as well as some of her friends. Those were important to me as a kid. I do feel I should have kept them.

I remember Lady Lovely Locks story books. I managed to find one, so that's one lost and now found. :) When I was a very small child my grandmother had a Lady Lovely Locks book that she would read to us kids when it was bedtime.

@ Tom - I remember Popples too. I had one, but I can't remember what her name was.
