25 Most Iconic Toys of the '70s

[@luvbeinghiswife1148]

I'm dying at Mike imitating the tennis player 😂😂😂😂

[@rossjones5741]

I was born in the 60's and played with these toys even though some of them continued to be made in the 70's. Games like Etch a sketch, Lincoln logs, tinker toys, My favorite toy (also my Dad's) was this clear plastic rocket that filled with water and when pressurized could go up to 200 feet and fall back to the ground. We LOVED that toy and would play with it for HOURS. When it broke, I was in tears asking for another one. Dad said ok since the toy was cheap. I liked outdoor toys like the Big Wheel and the large hippty hop with the large handle on top. Good memories from those toys. Some of them made you think how to put them together differently. Toys are generation pleasures that bring people together. Thanks.

[@anthonyyoung8592]

I was born in 69 so these were my toys too! Loved tha 11:59 t rocket and the air jammer car! Sorry..that came out in 1980.

[@Jeffrey-p8t]

Lawn darts was an all time classic. How none of us were injured or killed is beyond belief....

[@j.p.6932]

I actually was injured playing lawn darts. I was playing with my brother, and he decided to throw his while I was out collecting mine. Got hit tight in the head. I still remember going to the ER. While there was a copious amount of blood; I ended up not needing stitches. Still have the psychological scars, though.

[@vcorlett]

I was born in 1966, I sure feel old, and I remember most of those toys. I loved my Etch-a-Sketch! It came with me on many a road trip. Those days are long gone and I have adult children of my own now. Several years ago my husband and I were house hunting. I’ll make this story short, but we fell in love with, and bought, our current home. It wasn’t on our list to look at, but our realtor had to lock it up and we loved it. Custom built in the 1970’s, it still had all the original stuff. Flooring, white, shag carpet, avocado kitchen counters and accessories, everything, even the stove, was/is original. The stove just happens to be the same model used in the old TV show, Bewitched. Yes, it still works very well. Maybe you could do some List 25’s of 1970’s trends…fashion, food, home decor…I’m sure you could come up with some good ones and I’ll sit here in my retro home in AZ and enjoy the trips down memory lane. Of course you could come down here and film them, but my German Shepherd (my service dog), and our three kitties might try to steal your show.

[@whispersomethingwitt]

Just had to let the List 25 team know that I have never watch a single episode without Mike. And I didn't know how much I miss led this channel until he was back and I could listen to him again. Please take good care of this man.

[@robertolszanski516]

The Evel Knievel with bike! Not sure if I got the spelling right, but it was everywhere! Loved that thing!

[@kimhohlmayer7018]

I was working Christmas department store retail when Hungry Hungry Hippo came out. You have no idea what a pain in the behind telling parents we were out of the game because it was so dang popular and ran out so fast. As for Spirograph, I got one for Christmas in 1967 when I was nine. I remember so clearly because I got my tonsils out between Christmas and New Year that year and took it to the hospital with me.

[@ladykoiwolfe]

Ah, my childhood. I was a kid in the 80's,born in 79, but I remember all of these. Their popularity didn't die off easily. Baby alive and that cabbage patch doll that could "eat" are probably why some people are afraid of dolls. My favorite toy was...well, my bike. But I loved playing GI Joe with my brother and was dang good at Connect Four. Scrabble was and still is my favorite board game.

Just wanted to add another iconic toy of the 70s.. Rockem Sockem Robots!

For us, "Speak And Spell" did not come popular until we went into the army and someone's kid left 1 in the barracks. After that we played it every chance we had

[@richewilson6394]

I had a spirograph when I was a kid, I also always wanted to have the other games that were here in this list but never got to only got to see them in person at daycares.

[@brianarbenz1329]

My first job was selling toys at Sears in 1976. Stretch Armstrong was THE in-demand gotta have toy. We could not keep ‘em in stock. But the most influential new thing that year was Pong. Shoppers were mesmerized by it. After one volley with the electronic ball, their jaws would drop and they’d whip out the credit card.

[@t2delan1]

I got a green version called the stretch Armstrong monster- does anyone remember that???

[@maryrosekent8223]

PONG!!! At the time there was simply no way to know just how far that journey would be. I have so many games I play on my iPad…

[@brianarbenz1329]

They told us at Sears that in just a couple of years, vastly more elaborate video games would be out that would make the seminal Pong look primitive.

[@brianarbenz1329]

As I recall, all the Stretch Armstrongs we sold were green.

[@banditt18]

mike you just litteraly took me down memorie lane ty for that

[@deathscythehell7937]

OMG, you just made me relive my childhood. Being a Gen X'er I had most of these toys except for the easy bake, baby alive and the pet rock. I remember asking my mom for a pet rock, (she wasn't falling for that one) she told me to go in the backyard find a brick and have fun, lmao. Hot wheels and Star Wars was my favorite, I had the all 12" figures too. We'd trade the small Star Wars figures in school. I guess GI Joe didn't make the list, in the 70s we had the 12" Gi Joe figures.

[@Dsdcain]

My friend had a GI Joe set that was scuba based. Inflatable raft, scuba tanks, spear gun. Man was I jealous. I did have a regular one but it didn't have kungfu grip.

[@DarkbutNotsinister]

I had a baby alive! Food went in..I don’t remember where the food went after that.

[@deathscythehell7937]

I was born in 1970, and I had most of those toys, plus the big wheel, sit and spin, but my favorite was my Tonka dump truck

[@donjackson5522]

And back then, Tonka trucks were made of steel not plastic. Practically indestructible. My favorite was the road grader.

[@plattepuss66]

Titly Winks, Don't Break the Ice, the original Yard Darts, Cooties, the original balls on a string ball knockers. These are some of my favorites from the 70's.

[@roseprevost5876]

If you didn't make your Speak and Spell say a curse word, you were NOT a kid. :)

Standing there, talking about toys, but getting older :) I love this intro and this device is a really great recommendation - I have been using it and loving the results. If you ask me, it is worth it

[@captainsquiggs]

Stretch Armstrong's enemy was Vac-Man! My brother and I had one. You stick an air compressor thing to the side of his head, pump it, and he became stretchy. Push a button on his helmet thing, and he went back to "relaxed". Really innovative, that one.

[@m1t2a1]

It was a table hockey game I got in the 60s, played in the 70s a lot too. It was always Leafs vs Habs, but there were only six teams when I got it. No Lightning yet. Lite Brite, Spirograph, and Etch A Sketch were popular with me in the 60s too. That's how old I am, no biggie. Hot Wheels was the most popular with a bunch of us. Joining everyone's tracks from house to house. Now, Battle Shots is popular at game time. It's Battleship, but drink when you're hit.

[@mariesmith5486]

Seeing as how many of these I remember from my childhood, I might actually need a Foreo Bear in my life

[@tarzapopohead]

My favorite was the original pet rock I still own today, however I threw away the box and just kept the rock. It is on my work desk right now.

[@catmomjill]

As a child of the 70's, I had a lot of these! Lite Brite was probably my favorite toy. Also, l had Nerf balls, Weebles, Slinky, Battleship and Connect 4. Good times. My very favorite toy, not listed here, was LEGOs.

[@maryrosekent8223]

When I was really young (in the early 60s) Timmy Ahern, who lived across the street from my grandmother in Menlo Park (the one in California) had a set of LEGOs, and my brother, sister, and I were absolutely entranced and spent as much time at Timmy’s house as we could. [I’m going to guess that if Timmy Ahern is still around he’s been going by Tim for four or five decades now as my brother Tim has.]

[@mikeburkhart8336]

Lawn Darts!! Back then parents didn't worry about their children playing with dangerous sharp pointy objects you tossed around.

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

About 5 minutes before I started watching this, my adult son (apparently in the process of rearranging his room) came to show me his armful of different console games. Then you showed my first "computer game!" I showed it to him - he knew about it of course - but it was really funny and good timing for us. I didn't have most of those games. Various friends had one or two each (we weren't rich. Dad was a real gadget guy though, hence Pong. We definitely got his money's worth out of it!). I think we had Battleships, an Etch-a-sketch, and a Spirograph. Obviously we had other toys and games! Family board games were very popular with us because both our parents worked, Dad worked shifts at the steelworks, so when they were both home with us, playing together was really precious!

[@markfoster1520]

Ya, Battleship (not electric-battleship). We were on the honor system.

[@maryrosekent8223]

After years on Etch-a-Sketch, I finally mastered making a credible daisy. Years!

I had a Sindy Doll which was the English version of Barbie. But my Paddington Bear and my Snoopy Doll were probably my favorite. I also had the original Star Wars action figures. Yes, they gave “rain checks” for the first round of them. Pong was a favorite. I never missed a chance to play with my brothers Matchbox Cars. Of course in the 80’s I had a Cabbage Patch Kid.

I was born in 1968 so this is my childhood. I played with all of these. Some I had and some at friends house but this was fun. Baby Alive was creey AF. My friend had one. We never got a pet rock but I did see them The oven was too expensive because you had to buy the mixes seperate and they cost more than an actual cake . They do still have HH Hippos and Connect Four in the stores. Slime and playdoh were kinda cheap fun. I had like 2 weebles. They were sooooo cute and you could get the old little people sets and put the Weebles in those. I was about 5-7. No Star Wars stuff. I barely could afford to go to the movies. Light Brite I got from my grandma amd grandpa from Chrstmas. That was awesome. Of course I played with etch a sketch but never had one. One Barbie a lot of clothes which was weird. Most kids had like 800 Barbies. You forgot Tonka Trucks when they were metal. My neighbor had those and I loved them. I just wanted one so bad that wasn't a "girls" toy. Grrrr.

Just making it into my mid-60s is an accomplishment given that half my life ago I spent two weeks in a locked psychiatric ward. Being young and beautiful is lovely, but getting old ROCKS!

The "Hot Wheels" you showed where newer. I had a hole case full (1 trays of hot wheels and 1 trays of matchbox) and non of mine or my friends looked like thoughs. our track was not so fancy either. we had a starting gate, a few loop the loops, and track that went from inside the house (bedroom) to the side walk. We did this until we joined cadets (some went into boy scouts) when we went to the wooden slot cars and the track that used to be in the mall. Still have my hot wheels and matchbox cars from the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The best of the bunch are the Weebles. They were just fantastic.
