1. Teddy Ruxpin. Talking bear, nuff said.
2. Nintendo. Zelda, Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden.
3. TMNT Technodrome. I know it might not be TMNT canon, but, it was fun back then.
4. Talkboy from Home Alone 2. Got in a lot of trouble with this one.
5. Hit Stix. Need a refresher? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_Stix

1. Casio Keyboard. 100 beats at your fingertips, no talent necessary.
2. Plastic Green Army Men. I was old school like that. And when I found the matches, there was much melting.
3. GI Joe. With a small screwdriver, you could mix and match limbs. PLUS, kung-fu grip.
4. Aerobee. Like a frisbee that would sever your hand off if caught incorrectly from 100 yards.
5. Lawn Jarts. See above.
