Although many of the toys from the 80’s have made their way back into the world of pop culture in the millennium, it’s still fun to pay homage to their strangeness. It’s interesting to look back and see what children of the 80’s were playing with, and what they thought were cool. Some of these toys are strange or weird, some of them are just plain gross. Did you have any of these? If you’re lucky, you missed out on some of them.
