For me (turning 35 soon) the biggest toys of my childhood were Masters of the Universe action figures, TMNT action figures, Batman (Michael Keaton) action figures, and the NES. 

How many "hoop and stick" folks do we have on here?

Moon Shoes, Skip-It, Puppy Surprise and Lite Bright are some that I remember being into when I was a kid. I have five brothers, so we definitely had every video game system as well.

Evil Knieval motorcyle, Big Wheel and Super Toe. I once hit the head on my Super Toe so hard that I shanked the field goal but his leg flew off and split the uprights.

Christmas, 1962 - Lionel phonograph (also listed as a Speartone).  Mine was virtually identical, same color and artwork of the two kids dancing, but had a different speed selector knob on the left.  Came with a set of Disney 78's, and my folks also threw in the record below.  I'll bet I played that phonograph every day until the speaker blew 7 or 8 years later.  I still have the record.

Pogo stick.  Remember trying to do it in the basement over and over and over and over again and not being able to get more than 2 or 3 consecutive hops.  Then all of a sudden things fell into place and I could keep going and going and going.  I think I counted to at least 1000 consecutive.  But what I don't remember was how long I was stuck on 2 or 3 hops, whether it was hours, days, or weeks.

Atari 2600 kept me occupied a lot.

Matchbox cars, Transformers and Masters of the Universe figures also were always on the docket, as were a few figures from a couple other series that I didn't collect from as much. I'd have battles between 5-6 different cartoon worlds that were in no way compatible and loved every minute of it!
