As a boy who grew up in the 90s, I had TMNT, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Batman, and Gargoyles toys. Outside we would always play with super soakers, Socker Boppers, and Nerf Guns. I also remember Pogs, Pokémon, Furby, Gak, Beanie Babies and playing PlayStation, N64, and Gameboy. 90s sure were fun.

I have no doubt that a lot of these 90's toys are worth a lot of money in today's collectors market.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

@matt And of course autograph's from certain people also increase the value, i mean take the Steve Urkel doll for example, if somebody had an Urkel doll that was autographed by Jaleel White himself it would definitely be more valuable to collectors and you are right the condition of the doll would be important as well, especially if it was all in an unopened box.

[@PowerRangerfan]

Especially those that were recalled.

[@maevblog9955]

This toys still exist

[@SilentNinja87]

@@TheCommenterDragonI recently met Jaleel at a comic con this year (2024) and got an autograph and selfie. His line was pretty long and there were people with the Urkel dolls in the original box in good condition that they got autographed by him. I am sure they are selling on EBay now lol

[@storytimewithunclebill1998]

Tickle Me Elmo was the first toy I remember that caused problems for Christmas because of a shortage and demand. Made grown folks act like spoiled kids for their kids. Some cases it got pretty bad. Was fun to watch. Great video

[@Jeff98177]

I was dating a woman with a 5yo daughter at the time, and we were in a mall helping her set up her booth for the day. There was literally a pallet of Tickle Me Elmos sitting there. Well, the kid picked one up, played with it for a few seconds, and put it back down. Zero interest. Two weeks later, those stupid things were selling for hundreds. I should have bought some to resell, but who knew.

[@COMPFUNK2]

The original Cabbage Patch Kid caused a similar stir in the 80s.

[@guywithdreads]

That’s been parodied so often now too lol

[@BatmanPops]

I had the Steve Urkle doll, the home alone tape recorder, and some Giga pets lol... those were some good memories growing up back in the 90s 🥲

[@michaelpaulsministry]

You could have them again if you do an online search. They can be found because I have found them in websites such as Etsy, eBay, Amazon, and etc.

1:21 I remember watching a news article about a guy who had obtained one and in disgust with how everybody was acting tied it to a tree limb and sent it through a wood chipper it was hilarious because it laughed its way into Oblivion while saying that tickles as the wood chipper took its legs off what made it that much funnier was the expression on the faces of the parents who were offering him extravagant amounts of money to buy it off of him

I had a Nano Kitty, I later found a Nano Baby at a thrift store and brought it back to life, took care of it for a good long while before I realized this kid won't let me take care of it anymore once it reached age two....you're better off using Kitty or Puppy I actually had a skip it bubble (where bubbles came out of it) oh Sky Dancers, between you and the Sailor Moon dolls I miss you real bad If I didn't know any better I'd say Tiger electronics took a good look at that runner up prize on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and thought "We can do better then that, we just won't have one of those send features" and thus Dear Diary existed man the 90s was a great decade for toys

[@standdown4929]

The original skip it was called a Footsie, I had one, loved it and played with it all of the time, and can still hear the Footsie jingle in my head..... The part in between the bell and ring around your foot was a cord.... the skip it had a bar, which took the fun out of it... I got my Footsie in the late 60's early 70's...

[@veggiesaremurder]

This was a walk down memory lane. I didn't many of these toys myself because we were so damn poor, but I played with them at friends' houses all the time. Skip-it, Baby Alive...my sister had a TalkGirl and we both had Giga Pets and I had Skydancers, and a Tickle Me Elmo when I was much too old to actually like it.
