Where To Watch
14 toys you totally forgot you had growing up in the 1960s
Chatty Cathy, Punch-Me's and Thingmakers were all the rage as kids.
We all remember playing with popular dolls like Barbie and G.I. Joe as kids growing up in the 1960s. But what about the toys that didn't make it past our generation?
These 14 toys gave us fun times and great memories, and it's about time they got some recognition. Do you remember having any of these?
1. Little Miss Echo 
Retrowaste
It's the doll you could teach how to talk. All you had to do was turn her bow to the left to record your voice, and turn it to the right to hear Little Miss Echo repeat it.
2. Punch-Me's 
Remembering the 70s
We were able to take out our aggression on Fred Flintstone, Batman and even Frosty the Snowman.
3. Johnny Speed Race Car 
TimeWarp Vintage Toys
Never before or since was there a more stylish remote-control car.
4. Wacky Wind-Ups 
Retrowaste
Wind it up and watch it go! These toys moved around awkwardly, but they were a blast to play with.
5. Little Kiddles 
Retrowaste
Which one was your favorite?
6. Marx's Farm Set 
Retrowaste
If you lived in the city or suburbs, this was your only way to experience life on the farm.
7. Marx's Fort Apache Set 
Retrowaste
We couldn't wait to re-enact our favorite Westerns with this classic set.
8. Marx's Operation Moon Base 
Retrowaste
Before the moon landing, this was how the first man landed on the moon — in our imagination.
9. Go-Go the Burro 
Remembering the 70s
According to this ad, he was your "walking amigo." Check out his friend Mobo Bronco in the background.
10. Thingmaker Toys 
YouTube
Did you have a better time making "fun flowers" or "creepy crawlers"?
11. Sears Typewriter 
Retrowaste
Kids today have their very own iPads, but back in the '60s we had our very own typewriters!
12. Pinball Machines
Retrowaste
This thing was pretty light, which meant it was easy to tilt the game in our favor.
13. Hoppity Hops 
Plaid Stallions
These things were the best, until they slowly deflated, or worse, popped.
14. Chatty Cathy
Even The Brady Bunch's Marcia was a fan of Chatty Cathy as a kid. The talking doll came with 11 prerecorded sayings at first.
