Toys from the 90s were iconic. I still might have some of them in the attic at my parents house. And others I still have, as a 24-year-old, in my apartment (SEE: Nintendo 64). Let’s be honest, I killed my Tamagotchi three times and had doubles of almost all the Crazy Bones out there. But it was worth all the pain and hardships I went through to make sure I had every single one. (Sorry Mom for wasting your money buying mystery bags.) While some of the toys of today resemble the 90s greats, others are tremendously tech-y and actually require you to read the directions. AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT. Check out the list below:
