They were all the craze for those 10 and 11 year old birthday gifts. And, nothing was quite as cool as scooting along your estate showing everyone what you got.

31. Power Rangers

Happy Birthday fellas! The variety of colours, the t.v show, they dominated the 90's. Go go Power Rangers!

30. Star Wars Action Figures

One of the most widely sold toys ever, worth a good bit of money if you keep them in mint condition. Pop them in an air tight container and watch them gain value.

29. Polly Pocket

The smallest little woman in the smallest little house in the world. Almost immediately after opening, Polly Pocket was lost forever but we did love her.

Even though their constant 'FURBY' noises did get annoying they were the toy of the 90s. Coming in different colors and designs they were a child's dream.

7. Play-doh

The only time play-doh was its true colour was when it JUST came out of its little pots. Then it all melded together and turned a brownish pukey green. It melded into the carpet or your friends hair... Smelled great though.

6. Rubik cube

Genius design bla bla bla... way to make kids feel stoopid.

Brilliant design, the best part of it being the swoosh sound when you shook it clear.

4. Matchbox cars

HOURS of fun playing with cars. Crash, bang! Race! Wheeling them up your parents back as they watched The Late Late.

Mario brothers, Tetris, Frogger; Gameboys kept many a child quiet during a long car journey.

The whole family wanted to get involved in this construction. Skalextric were the crème de la crème of toys.

Lego has to be up there at number 1. Lego is the king of creation and while it hurt like a mother fucker to stand on a single piece, it was still the thing that kept us busy for hours.
