__The toys of the 1990's__


In 1990 the toy to be a youngster and get for Christmas was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Action Figures. There was a Wacky Action series that came out in 1990. This took the

characters and added themed costumes. Examples of these turtles are Don, The Undercover

Turtle and Leo who is the Sewer Samurai.

 In 1991 every grandchild wanted their grandparents to buy them Pogs. Pogs are little

cardboard circles that had different pictures on them. A Pog ’slammer’ was thicker and

heavier but could be made of plastic or metal. Back in the day a game could be played

with these little cardboard circles. These were getting prohibited from schools because

they saw the game similar to gambling.



Everybody knows Barney because he had his own show that every little kid loved. In 1992 Barney dolls became

the toy that little kids asked for Santa Claus to get them for Christmas.



In 1993 the toy to buy children was the video game called Mortal Kombat. This game was

sold for the Genesis and the Super Nitendo. The previous year this game was popular in

arcade games. But when it came on the Super Nitendo, the blood was removed from the

game.



The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers started out as a television show. This eventually

developed into a couple movies. Toy stores then released toys for this show. This toy was

popular in the Christmas of 1994.



Beanie Babies are little stuffed animals that you can collect. These were popular in the Christmas of

1995. Beanie Babies come in many different colors and animals.



Tickle Me Elmo was the Christmas toy of 1996. Whenever you'd tickle him, he'd shake and laugh.

He was off the show for little kids called Sesame Street.



Tamagotchi is a virtual pet that you take care of. These were keychains shaped like eggs. In the Christmas season of

1997 this little toy took the most popular toy.



A Furby is a furry toy that demanded attention. These toys would speak their own language.

They would even sneeze. Tiger was the maker of this toy.



Pokemon was first a bunch of cards. Then it became a television show which then developed into a video

game. This video game for the Game Boy was the game to have.
