Having a real animal pet gives you all the features of a toy that you can imagine: it's lovely and could be wild sometimes, it's unexpectable while still predictable, it's beautiful and cute, it moves and make noises, it can communicate with you, you adopt it, you can give it a name, it's highly personalized, etc. If you are willing to really take care of it. Especially when they got sick. I did not realize how much more a real living animal is compared to a stuffed toy with AI until I adopted one cat. Better things require more investment & care.

As a kid I liked how Bratz featured all of their 4 main dolls of different ethnicities equally and gave them unique personalities and names, in contrast with Barbie, which featured the blonde haired blue eyed doll most of the time, making her the face and name of the franchise. I always felt like the other dolls were nameless side characters, and it made me feel like my brunette hair was inferior before Bratz were introduced.

This guy has Parkinson-s disease. :/
However it is a very very very great video! I have played many of these toys, like UNO, He-man, Rubik-s Cube, Teenage Mutant Nonja Turtle, and I still got a working GameBoy in perfect condition: )
Just wondering how come that there are no LEGO, GI. JOE, Transformers, Magic Rainbow string or Barbie on the list.

90s was definitely the decade to be a kid. Toys were in their prime as far as quality, unique, and creative, and let's not forget to mention the entertainment. there was tmnt, goosebumps, Power Rangers, pokemon, Nickelodeon gave birth to Nick toons + other amazing content. It was just pure magic.

I-ve listened a dozen times.
Does he say: 2007 - iPod Touch, or iPad Touch?
I-m leaning towards IPaod, by reason of mini-stroke.
Also. is that a Mon Che Che monkey puppet in the background?

In truth the Furby did not learn anything. It was designed to show more of its programming the mre you interacted with it. The NSA banned it not realizing it never recorded or learned anything.

I am so surprised that the NINTENDO SWITCH wasn-t 2017 I feel like it was but they had to many NINTENDO products so they were like -yea let-s just put this weird thing here to take it-s place. -

Hi Eddy! This is Steph. I saw myself in this video! It has been an honor and a pleasure working for you all of these years. You are one of a kind. Love the documentary, so genuine!

1981-s Most Popular Toy: He-Man! You mean the toy that would appear on shelves for another year, and still another year before the TV show! This list is an unresearched, waste of time.

This is very informative. Thank you. I would love to create an idea for a cool toy for kids soon. Very strange what children have been into though. Changes dramatically year to year.
