40%. Being a tail-end boomer, I had 60s and 70s toys. Can't remember if I had a Ken doll or Barbie's Dream House, so I answered 'no'. Did have an early model Barbie with fab clothes, including that black strapless number 'Solo in the Spotlight.' Had original Skipper and Midge dolls, too. Surprised the quiz didn't have a Crissy Doll. She was a redhead, and when a button in her back was pushed or a knob turned, you could pull her hair out really long and back again. Did any of you ladies have her? Also can't remember if I had a Suzy Homemaker or an Easy-Bake oven, so I picked both. It was aqua. Besides cake, I think you could make these disgusting plastic-like insect things in them. Does anyone remember those? Gave everthing away to neighbourhood girls as I got older. Seeing all these vintage toys selling online for $$$.

The popular toys of the 60's were mostly girls toys. What about us boys?

80% similar. Since I was a boy I obviously didn't have any dolls. I only had GI Joe, but as an adult however. I also had Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. I did not have Lite Brite but I had another Kenner product Kenner's building set which was similar to Lego's. Yes I had Lego's too.

80% Similar but all those toy's were in my house. Between me and my 3 brothers and my 3 sisters we had them all. I always had my GI Joe and Hot wheels and I also had Matchbox cars. I remember getting Big Jim and the camper along with evel Knievel with motorcycle 🏍️ and all accessories. We didn't have much but my Mother and Father made sure we had a very nice Christmas and tried to get us at least 1 or 2 of the things we really wanted.

My older sister had a Mini Dragon Thing maker, I was too young to play with it.

70% - with an asterisk. I actually did NOT have the Easy Bake Oven, but my sister did. We both played with it until we used up all of the pre-packaged mixes, then we figured out how to "scale down" regular boxed cake & cookie mixes, which were just a few isles away from the light bulbs in our local store. Not sure what we bought more of - cake mixes or light bulbs for the oven.

LOVED my Lite-Brite & Easy Bake Oven, Barbie Dreamhouse & RV.
My Dad said my Ken doll's hair was too long & shaggy so he cut it lol! That Ken doll also came with what I now see as suspicious disguises----peel & stick on beards & mustaches....who was he trying to hide/disguise his identity from?? Hmmmm? 🤔
