- The 1990s was pretty well ruled by Tiger Electronics but there were a lot of other toys that were huge! Some of the toys caused some crazy battles between parents in the stores and demand drove scalpers to charge outrageous prices in the paper and on the internet. The 1990s saw some incredible toys released while at the same time kids were still enjoying many popular toys from previous decades.

#90s #toys #1990s - Zábava
My sisters and friends would tell me about all these toys they were trying to get for Christmas for their kids. I was shocked at all the competition and lines. One sister even drove 150 miles to get a toy for her son. Gee whiz!
That is a lot of effort and no telling what the prices were. They were certainly some crazy Christmas toys shopping tines. Thanks you for watching!
Every gift felt like gold
imagine doing all that just for a pagan ritual that celebrates the winter solstice and blasphemes the Lord Jesus
I was born same year I very much miss the 90s I'm sitting here reminiscing about those days and yea Christmas was much better then
Sounds like they were after Tickle Me Elmo 👀😊
Born in 87. Man I miss the 90s and early 2000s. Also…Christmas just felt more magical back then.
The 90s were a great time! Thank you for watching!
Alot more magical the internet messed alot of stuff up in my opinion
Born in 89, and I couldn’t agree with you more. I feel like no one has ever expressed that aside from myself. Shit was more
Magical back then.
I especially miss everything about my childhood pre-9/11 _(New Yorker then & now)_ I truly believe it wasn’t just my mind that was more innocent before it happened, this whole society seemed more innocent in a way
Having my childhood defined by the war on terror _(& of course the war on drugs)_ made me feel like the kids around the same time I was born got trolled hard by life
Born same year. Yea everything you saw was on TV. No Internet, social media, smartphones. Looking in catalogues at the toys and seeing the ads on Tv periodically. Felt more special.
Born in 78. Got to experience the 80s and really grow up in the 90s. What a glorious time to be alive.
Also born in 78. Last few decades seem to have flown by without as many (personally) monumental toy/other product markers, but I’m sure that’s not the case with people born in, say, ‘98+. Just signs we’ve gotten old, I’m sure! Ugh…
Man being a kid in the 90's was great . Most toys was made to last. They was just cooler to me.
So true bro! 90s toys were built like tanks
Born in 83.. the 80s and 90s were the best!! I kept Alot of my toys. Didn't want to sell them. It meant much more to me to give them to my kids ♥️
Feeling Nostalgic for 90s toys.
Thank you for watching Alex!
Born in 83 and all these toys bring back so many flash backs to the good times
@Lou Icious the Werewolf it sure did..i long to experience those times when there wasnt no worries an stresses
Thank you for watching Carlos!
I was born in 1986. The 90s were great.
It really was a great decade. Thank you for watching.
When furbies first came out, my sister’s bf worked at toys r us and hid one for me for Xmas. He’s still my favorite of her exes 😆
I’m weak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup. I got myself a furby, tickle me elmo, tamagotchi, play station and beanie babies. The joy of having an after school job in the 90s.
The 90s were crazy, in the way of toys people standing in line for hours, and fighting over the toys in the store. I was never crazy enough, to fight over them. I just waited until later, and my daughter would wind up getting whatever it was some time later. I still have some of her toys. Thanks Rhetty.
That's great you still have the toys! Some of them may be worth a lot but I know that doesn't cover the sentimental value. Every year in the 90s it seemed like were waiting to see what people would go crazy over. Thank you for watching Patricia!
What about beyblade
Super soakers are a blast, literally, always enjoyed spraying people with it.
They were and are the ultimate water gun! Thank you for watching!
I was obsessed with Pogs! I even went to tournaments at my local mall.
Did they ban them at your school? They banned them here in nevada because of gambling lol
@@dbambino775 Wow! No they didn’t. I went to school in Washington St.
@Lou Icious the Werewolf😂 well im happy to hear it wasn't just us. Il
Thank you for watching and sharing some memory with us Matthew!
I loved the Power Rangers! I of course loved the pink ranger, Kimberly.
Thank you for watching Jessica!
I remember when Tickle me Elmo came out. I felt bad for the poor Walmart clerk. Thank God he survived the stampede.
Oh Rhetty, you must have raised your children in the 1990's like I did! That was a great walk down memory lane! Thanks!
No my first came along in the next decade. But I do remember some of the insanity of the toys in the 1990s. Thank you for watching Janet!
@@RhettyforHistory I was born in 95
I remember my kids wanting these toys and the things they would do to buy them.
I still own a furby, thanks for bringing back my childhood :)
They were huge items to get! Thank you for watching Anna.
@@RhettyforHistory thank you for making the videos, and happyx-mas
You're welcome and Merry Christmas to you as well.
I got generation 1-7 unopened and a number of used ones that still work.
What color? Mine was black and white.
This was the best time to be a kid.
Thank you for watching Melanie!
Such nostalgia from watching this. I remember playing with pogs, Furby, Hot Wheels (I also had Micro Machines too), Pokemon cards and so many of the tooys that were sold back in the 1990s. I miss my time period so much, the 80s and 90s was incredible.
Micro Machines were so AWESOME! Especially when they got the Star Wars license 🙌
@@desert_hunter83 Oh yeah, great memories of those. It was quite common to play in school lunch time with them, I remember I had a lot of small toys in the 80s and 90s growing up, not just Micro Machines or Hot Wheels, for example I had a small Sonic tooy that I used to play with which I really liked growing up too. Such great times, i miss it so much.
I'm still lucky enough to have my Micro Machines and I'm thankful. The reboot of them they tried to do was lame, the quality was so bad
Born in 84, Had most of these toys. Man how I miss these times.
So grateful that my parents got all these toys for me and my brothers, never knew how much trouble they went through to get them
The good ol' days of violent Black Friday popular toy brawling. Bet countless millions in perpetual lockdowns wish they could go back there!
Every year in the 90s it seemed like we would all try to guess what the parents would fight over. I bet you're right on them wishing they could go back. Thank you for watching!
Born in 84 I remember some of these toys..nostalgic memories the 90s were the best 😎
I still remember the Street Sharks “commercial”. Had the hand-worn shark eating a jelly doughnut
Had the Super Soaker 100, collected the crap out of the pokemon cards, had a tamagotchi, and I think I had nearly every beanie baby made. I did have a furby but wasn't a huge fan. My sister had the tickle me Elmo. My cousin had the Buzz Lightyear. The super nintendo was my favorite. Played Mario for hours throughout my childhood and beat the final level, Bowser's Castle, a couple of times!
I remember Fox Kids. Such deep nostalgia with that one.
Born in '97 but I have an old brother, I grown with eventually 90s toys and retro consoles, in the early 00s I loss interest in toys but I enjoy his consoles and video games. I think it's a great combination anyway!
Jurassic Park/The Lost World 🦖, Super Soakers, POGs and Turtles 🐢 w/ backpacks that made them talk using plastic strips you pulled through the voice box are what I remember the most! Toy Story, Aladdin and Lion King also were very popular 🏰
Awesome video! 🙂👍
My daughter liked the Ninja turtles, she was then 4years old. Thanks Rhett 💕 for sharing. Brought back memories.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Had to stop watching as soon as I saw the streetshark at 1:05 or so... The nostalgia waves were so powerful I was scared of either a heartattack or being transported back to the 90's. Awesome video.
Super Soakers were amazing. We filled one with gasoline and turned it into Super Flame Thrower. It was awesome for about 2 minutes until it melted 🔥
The 80's and early 90's were the best time to be a kid in every way, music, movies, toys, cartoons. I may be bias but I'm also right!
I forgot all about Betty Spaghetti! Thanks for that memory. Had a small obsession with those tiny Polly Pocket toys. I remember they smelled like strawberry, grape etc
I almost bought myself one last week just because I never had one as a kid lol but I didnt because it no longer comes in a case you get to open lol
Born in 82, 90s is the best era for me.
Thank you for watching LastMan!
Born in '86, the 90's was my childhood, truly an awesome time to be a kid.
Treasure trolls were really popular in the 90s. I can remember being in third grade and it was a big thing to have a treasure troll sitting on the edge of your desk.
Born in 87. Man this bought back memories of when I was a kid
Watching this video made me feel like I gave my children a GREAT childhood. They grew up with nearly all of these! 😊
That's awesome! Great job on that! Thank you for watching!
i miss the 90s and 2000s (i’m a late 90s to early 2000s kid) (born in 1991)
OMG tomagotchi! I loved it but always ended up killing my pet by accident lol. I would just forget. Surprising I’m a mother these days haha, I don’t forget them though.
Haha! That's funny but I'm glad you remember your kiddos!
I hid it in my locker in Jr high so it wouldn't die during the school day 😂😂
1990 i was 8 years old
Perfect time to enjoy both decades! Thank you for watching!
I LOVED littlest pet shop. Had several of the original sets
PS in NZ that game with crazy bones was called knuckle bones here, but I don't recall those models here, we mostly had silver knuckle bones
Total blast from the past. Great selection of toys! There's only a couple I don't remember. Even as a kid, I couldn't comprehend people fighting and injuring other people over toys. That was my first glimpse at how selfish and terrible humans can be.
I'm born in the 80s, such a beautiful time.
Agreed 😎👍
@@desert_hunter83 me to i was born in 1989
I remember original trilogy Star Wars toys were popular, especially between 1997 and 1999
Brought me back and wish I kept my stuff moving too much, you can lose most of your stuff. Miss those toys
Growing up in the 90s, I had several TY Beanie Babies. Since they still make them, my children have received some as gifts, and the the first thing my children do is rip off the tags. 😳 I know they probably aren't worth anything, but my inner child is screaming, "You CAN'T do that!!"
But hey, at least my children are actually playing with and enjoying their Beanie Babies.
Watching this while watching reruns of Married With Children. Doesn’t get any better.
born in 87 too 😂 i had almost everything in the video ...i loved mighty max
I had the tiny Littlest Pet Shop toys when I was tiny. Omg, that was a buried memory for sure! Love this one.
I was born in 1986 I grew up in the 1990s great decade
Betty Spaghetty! It's all coming back to me now! I totally forgot I used to have one of the toys (got it from McDonald's happy meal toys). Was born in '92 and I have brothers who were born in the mid to late 80's so I remember most of the toys especially Pokemon cards, Game Boy and Tamagotchi. I am old, huh? 🤣
Me admiring me large jumbo Beanie Boo collection realising they were inspired by the 90s Beanie Babies.
The company has been around awhile and are still appealing to everyone. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Me pleasure I love these videos that look back in time.
Man I miss the 90s.
Thank you for watching Kyla!
Oh my, I think I have purchased everything you showed. LOL.
Oh wow! You were busy then! Thank you for watching!
It's amazing how these videos can bring back what I thought were long lost memories. Vividly, to boot.
I remember waiting in line for these toys. I am glad my daughter is older now she waits in line for me. My my how things change 😂
Yes they do! The 90s had some big toys! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video. I grew up in the 1990s and remember many of these toys.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Callie!
Moonshoes!!!! I had a pair of those, and they were the best things ever!!
I think my dad still has my furby at the house that I got in 97. That thing would wake up randomly and start talking.
I've modeled an alien creature in my recent novel after that thing.
My friend's Furby would do that, too!! Always creeped me out!
Oh, my goodness! I just realized and remembered that I had a Game Gear!!! Wow, I had quite a few of these toys & wish I held on to them. But my family moved and left many things behind.
There is one you didnt mention, My son and his friends were into the Beetle Borgs. I'm pretty sure that is the name of them. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome. I know there are a lot of toys I didn't cover. Hopefully I hit the crazy popular ones. Thanks again for watching!
Shout out to Ranger. oh and you too Rhetty. LOL
Haha! Thank you for watching!
I remember going to a toy store special 2am opening to get my son a Tickle Me Elmo. He loved that toy!
Sorta like the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie “The Last Action Hero “.
I like the extra information about each toy
Rhett, I enjoyed your video about toys of the 1990's. I loved hearing the backstory of the variety of toys you featured, I wasn't familiar with some of the toys. I do remember people getting into long lines and waiting overnight for toy stores to open for these toys. Also, I remember people getting into verbal and physical fights over these toys for their children. Great presentation of this story. Hope Ranger is on the mend, and hugs to him. Take care 🐎
Thank you for watching Brenda. These toys weren't anything I ever had but I am like you in that I remember the craziness with the parents fighting over them. Seemed like it was almost every year in the late 90s. Ranger is doing well. Our vet said no surgery is needed and she cauterized it to keep it from bleeding so we haven't had anymore of that. He is still taking an antibiotic and wearing a cone collar.
@@RhettyforHistory
Rhett, I'm thrilled to hear that Ranger is feeling better! Hugs to Ranger. Take care 🐎
We have to finish out the meds and then the collar can come off on the 24th. Strange how our vet said no surgery needed and the emergency vet said he had to have it.
Born in 92 and I remember ALL of these 😭 oh my childhood
Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I was born in 95 there’s even a home video of of me on my birthday in 97 and Christmas in 97 and 98 I’m glad to be a 90’s baby too bad our childhood is gone forever
Spawn is another big toy lineup, still continues today.
Born 1984, I had the turtles, tiger handheld, Sega, X-Men action figures and so much more! I miss the 90s... best Christmas ever for me was 1996-1998
These videos are just as valuable as the items that are shown! Thank you!
You nailed it! I had all of these. Great video
I remember people thought those Beanie Babies would be worth something someday!
They sure did. Thank you for watching!
Some actually are but none of the ones people thought. I remember the book that would tell you thr value😂
Oh Rhetty, you have reminded me of some of my wonderful mummy memories.
Hasbro certainly made a lot of money from me.
Here in Australia my son had most of these things, Super Soaker, Power Rangers figurines, Toy Story figures, every gaming console that came out, year after year. He even had 2 of the games that you showed NHL 98 ice hockey and crash bandicoot. Pokémon everything, I still have his original Pokémon handbook. The other thing he was crazy about was world wrestling federation, I still have all of his wrestling figurines and wrestling bag that I keep them in. There are so many of them, I can’t seem to part with them. Some of the wrestlers are no longer living. A lot of the other toys, my daughter had Tickle me Elmo, Furby, Littlest Pet Shop etc but she was born 12 years after him. Thanks Rhetty ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories Jodie! Sounds like your kids had a wonderful childhood. Thqt WWF and WWE was big in the 80s and 90s but I didn't realize it went outside of the U.S. and Canada so that is interesting. I guess it was far bigger than I realized. You're a good Mom keeping all that and they will appreciate that at some point. So many mothers seem to throw them out, give them away or sell them. Whatever you do definitely do not ever sell them in a yard sale. I'm sure you have some valuable toys from the sound of it. But really I know that doesn't replace the sentimental value.
@@RhettyforHistory The wrestling has always been big here, and is still showing on the t.v here to this day, (I just don’t watch it anymore). Over the years they have even brought the show on the road out to Australia.
I was once into it a little myself, I can’t remember the year it was (maybe 1986) I went to watch it because my favourite (tiger mask) was coming to wrestle and I didn’t even have to travel 1 1/2 hours to Sydney because they came here to Wollongong. The Wollongong entertainment centre wasn’t built until 1998, but they came to the home of the Illawarra Hawks basketball centre (they wouldn’t play it there today) to many people here now.
NOW funny story here Rhetty, my mum told me her parents both loved the wrestling and when my mum was young (she was born 1946) they went to see a show in Sydney, so might have been late 50s early 60s. My nana was in the seat right next to the aisle and Killer Kowalski came out, as he walked passed her, she went to hit him in the head and her family had to stop her 😂. So I guess it’s no surprise after all that my son used to be a huge fan as kid. We seem to get a lot of what you have over there, over here shows, toys etc. Hope you enjoyed the story, I know I did when my mum told me. Bye 👋 for now.
Sounds like the love of wrestling is in your family for sure. Thank you for sharing that story on your mom I enjoyed that! Your mom sounds feisty! Or maybe she was influenced but the wrestling and wanted to trying out.
@@RhettyforHistoryit was my nana, my mum was there but she was about 10 at the time. I didn’t even know until recently that my grandparents loved the wrestling. Glad my mum shared it with me.
Oh I see! Makes it even funnier that it was your Nana!
Ahh nostalgia. That's reminds me of an old family saying " You eat a pizza, You get a pizza"
there were this thing called screamers, i think, and it was like a spooky character such as a mummy or werewolf, which would have this ball thingy in them so when you would squeeze them their eye ball would pop out, or chest, or whatever their gimmick was. they were insanely cool and i remember being such a simp as a kid for them lmao. I liked the mummy and the scream one, which had this red glitter ball in it's mouth that looked like blood
Geesh, that is crazy about Elmo.
Yes it is. I can't believe some of those parents!
Furby! I still have all my Furbies. And still play with some of them that hadn’t died yet.
Also don’t forget about the Shelby and Gizmo
I remember that annoying Tickle Me Elmos
My kids used to have Super Soaker battles. They loved those things! Not so great when the game turned to “let’s get mom” 😂😂😂 we also had the original Bop It and albums full of Pokémon cards and still have Beanie Babies.
Damn I’m 34 now and I still have some of my original power ranger figures from the 90s. I’m so glad my parents kept most of my figures from when i was a kid
i am turning 34 i was also fan of power ranger's
Awesome memories! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Jeff!
I was born in 89 and my brothers in 87. I had the black ranger toy and they had the blue and red ranger. For some reason, I used to throw mine high into the air. I didn’t think about an unused wood stove we had in the middle of our backyard we never used. One day. I whipped it into the air and it exploded on the stove! I hated back then that it got destroyed and definitely hate it now. I could’ve still been flipping the head back and forth 😭
I enjoyed this soo much wish it was in absolute order but you did great slip n slide was huge in 90s too
I was born in 1980. I’m watching this feeling particularly old! He said his “decades” video and I realize that 1990 was 33 years ago…😂😂
Barney blew a lot of peoples pockets
Yes he did. He was a hot item in the 90s. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I had a Barney birthday party in 97 everyone was there my aunt filmed it all there’s a home video of it and I played a Barney toy Christmas in 97 my grandpa took it away from me so I could open the rest of my presents that year the best about it I was saying what about that when my aunt said Barney was with my grandpa those days were the best
When I think of the 90s for toys, I think of the Teletubbies … “PO” was the hardest one to find but I managed to track one down for our two year old daughter in 98. She still has it along with her tickle me Elmo and a few beanie babies today. It saddens me to hear that parents literally beat each other up in stores for toys eh! People can be so nasty. Merry Christmas everyone and have a safe holiday season. 🇨🇦🎄😊
Brilliant video thankyou soooooo much 😆❤🙏
You're welcome and thanks again for watching!
Great video, very helpful. Thank you
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
My mom took care of my tomaguchi while I was at school.
Thank you for watching and sharing a memory Pamela!
That was interesting. I don't think some made it to S A. I remember Furby & Elmo. They were so expensive over here l dont think that they really took off. Thanks for the memory. 😊🐘💝
You're welcome and thank you for watching. That is interesting to see that Elmo and Furby made it over there but were expensive. What toys were popular in S.A. in the 1990s?
i remember some of these also anything classic pokemon or 90's vintage has potential to blow up in value in the collectors market.
Yes it does. Thank you for watching!
Hey Rhett, my grandkids enjoyed a lot of these toys.
My granddaughter got a tickle me Elmo and loved it.
My son bought the Play Station and kept up with each station as they came out.
Thanks for putting this out there.
You're really good at the research and everything that you present in your videos.
Thank you so much for watching! Sounds like your son is really into gaming. That Tickle Me Elmo sure was a sought after item! Your grandkids had some great toys!
@@RhettyforHistory they did.
My grandkids were the ones mostly into gaming.
However, my son did like a good game of baseball.
The games have come a long ways from the days of Atari!
@@RhettyforHistory
I'll say. Graphics are nuts.
So real like.
They have gotten a lot more complicated too!
Brilliant looking forward to this 👍
Thank you for watching Mary!
I remember these toys of the 1990's me and my sister grew up in this era
There really were some great ones in this decade and people really went crazy over some. Thank you for watching!
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Thank you for watching Lisa!
I had no idea they had pogs in the US in those days, over here in Mexico we had them and we played in the same way, they were almost as popular as marbles and were collectible. They were only distributed mainly in popular potato chips and cookie packages with the most recent cartoons or super heroes printed on them depending the year....lol, kids were frightened of them for some time after a scary myth spread, even on the news they mentioned it once: they were cursed and if you cut one in half they would bleed,...lol, I remember those rumors! XD
I enjoyed begin born in the mid 80’s and family was closer people where a lot nicer and I used to enjoyed talking on the phone for hours I enjoyed every min of it memories are forever
100%!😊
Love and miss the 90s it was wild and so much fun
Thank you for watching Tuttle Reed!
Pogs in 90's Marbles in 80's pretty much got youth trained to gamble at such a young age. Funny
Born.in 1986 thankyou for showing my era
You're welcome and thank you for watching Christie!
Super awesome content here thanks for sharing ! 💥
All good stuff here ! 💥
Thank you for watching ToyBox Talk
My nostalgia is strong rn. I remember all of these 👌👍
Thank you for watching Dblove!
Now this video was definitely a flashback to my childhood! Born in ‘86 and remember all of these! One of my favourite toys (i know it had earlier variants, I had the early 90s one) was the 2XL robot.
I loved the tamagotchi, but I had more of the Giga Pet keychains
And Trolls! 😍🥰😍 ahhhh memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️
