They are super heavy-duty 12-gauge vinyl for rugged durability and fun for all ages. They can help with agility, balance and co-ordination. Instead, these toys would deflate more and more as the seams wore down from use. I can’t explain the exact mechanism of their structural failure, though. That probably has something to do with all the blows to the head.
A Tamagotchi is a virtual pet on a keychain that first came out in 1996. It was created by a Japanese toy company named Bandai and eventually moved overseas to Europe and the United States. While anyone could have seen the trouble that Lawn Darts would bring, not every toy was so obviously dangerous. Some toys required the right imagination or a penchant for the sort of danger that only a child would appreciate. We’re going to fondly examine some of the most dangerous 1990s toys so that we can collectively wonder: what were we thinking? On the night of Halloween, 10 teens decide to go to a party at an abandoned funeral parlor. "Hull House", rumored to be built on an evil patch of land & underground stream, is the place. While starting the party, the teens gather around a big mirror to perform a seance...BIG MISTAKE. They awaken some evil force and find themselves trapped and taken over one by one. Now it's a battle for who can survive and cross over the stream before going to hell....My brothers and I must have watched too many Mike Tyson fights because we went absolutely crazy with these things. That wouldn’t be much of a problem in and of itself if the toys actually stayed inflated. https://tulsaworld.com/entertainment/be-safe-strawberry-shortcake-care-bears-creator-unveils-stay-at-home-bear/article_ce886acc-e0d2-5750-80f9-9aec46e8623b.html Although it was fun to play handball or race on one of these, a lot of fingers got bruised and broken on these bad boys. They don’t have brakes and something about them seemed to make your hands slip off of the handle and onto the floor just as someone was rolling by.

Retrieved from, Lite-Brite was released in 1967 by Hasbro, but it didn’t become popular until the 80s. This is in large part because the light-up toy was paired with other beloved properties of the decade like My Little Pony and Darth Vader. Tramel, J. (2020, April 3).

Imagine trying to make a really safe toy and failing in every way imaginable. That’s the yo-yo water ball. The Witch Doctor Head Shrinkers Kit was made by Pressman in the late 60s. The kit came with a mini-cauldron, several bags that came marked with skull and crossbones, and a mold. A kid would mix up the powder with water in the cauldron and put it into the mold. It would then harden, allowing the kids to paint it.
When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of The Range. Today, we’re going to go over some toys that were incredibly dangerous. These were the toys your parents bought without realizing just how dangerous they truly were. Many of these toys were recalled as soon as their issues became visible while others just received safety upgrades. Then, there are some like Monster Science Water Balls that became a worse toy. Now, these awesome little toys have turned into capsules that turn into a vague dinosaur shape that doesn’t really surprise anyone. Is it a stegosaurus? Who knows. MeTV. (2015, December 3). 10 Totally Awesome Christmas Toys We Had to Have in the 1980s. Retrieved from, The Skip-It was a pretty simple concept. You slip the cuff over your ankle and spin the ball around while jumping over it. The 1990s models had a counter in the ball. You could say that was the very best part of all. According to a 2000 recall notice from the CPSC, "The hard plastic Sky Dancers dolls can fly rapidly in unpredictable directions, and can hit and injure both children and adults."
Before the days of widespread internet usage and online parenting social media groups, it was a lot harder for people to get information on the dangers of certain toys. Aside from news stories or outright recalls, the mishaps involving toys were mostly chalked up to an individual child’s experience. Introduce your kids to these classic 80s toys, or buy a bunch of these retro 90s toys for Christmas this year. In a world of viral videos and online games, these old favorites will never go out of style! For one thing, people would play pogs for keeps, and that would start fights. Many schools had to put a ban on pogs to stop fighting from happening over pogs. Nobody wants to lose their precious National Geographic pogs. You could play all kinds of great games by scrambling across the gym floor at school or in the street at home. The latter was not a good idea, though.
Inflating your boppers is as simple as 1-2-3: Gently pinch the valve’s base while breathing life into it. Keep it just right, not too tight. Secure the valve with the plug, making it flush with the glove’s surface. Slide your hand in, make a fist, and let the excitement unfold. Agility, balance, and coordination find a new ally in every punch! The design was simple. You would sit on this platform a few inches from the ground and grab onto the handles. Beneath that platform were four wheels that swivelled for easy turning as you propelled yourself across the floor using your legs. Who wouldn’t remember this smash hit of a 90s jingle? This song was all over every kid’s TV station in the 90s, going to be honest though, it wasn’t exactly a source of anything but sugar. Which is probably why the kids look so excited.
Nothing like good old fashioned gender prejudice with children’s toys, am I right? The Suzy Homemaker line of “toys” is exactly what you’re picturing–a line of productions from the 1960s made specifically for young girls, featuring fake vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, ironing boards, ovens, blenders, etc. Hungry Hungry Hippos came out in 1978 from Milton Bradley. The board game is designed for 2 to 4 players with the objective being to gobble up the most white marbles. The Dream Phone was a board game released in 1991, aimed at teenage girls. The idea was that you moved around the board and had to guess which “hot guy” was your secret admirer. It was basically Guess Who for teenage girls. New models of these toys are on the market today, but they’re made from soft materials that don’t stand up in the water! Wham-O’s Slip N’ Slides Yeah, that can’t end badly
Great Deal
