Great post!
Sadly I did not have any "cool" favorite toy when I was little, I loved pretty much all I had. I guess the only one I really loved was a batman toy that was missing an arm.
Somehow the poor character always ended up injured in my imagination, whenever I was tired of pretending he actually has two arms instead of one.
I don't have him, sadly, I gave all my toys to other kids when I grew older, and even tho I don't regret it, that batman figurine was the best and I still miss it.
That toy made you use your imagination eve more. That is a great toy!
