#30Barbie (2 points)I need accessories, buy me clothes!Barbie is a best-selling fashion doll launched in 1959. The doll is produced by Mattel, Inc., and is a major source of revenue for the company. The American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002) is regarded as the creator of Barbie, and the doll's design was inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli. Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for nearly fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle. In recent years, Barbie has faced increasing competition from the Bratz range of dolls.

#30 (tied)Z-botsWall-E pictured in centerZbots (or Z-Bots) are small action figures that were made by Galoob and first released in 1992. Galoob released four series of Zbots from 1992 to 1994. Galoob also created a number of Zbot vehicles alongside the figures. The heroes were the ZBots (Designed to Defend!). The villains were the Voids (Made to Menace!). Each side has their own logo, usually imprinted on each robot's torso, although some do not have a visible logo. The Z-Bots' logo is a "Z", while the Voids' is a stylized "V". Originally, each Zbot design came in two different color sets, each listed as an individual character. Additionally, the Zbots often outnumbered the Voids two to one. Generally, the packages came with three of the figures each, with either two Voids and a Zbot, or two Zbots and a Void.

#30 (tied)Slip N' SlideResponsible for burns and broke fences everywhereThe Slip 'N Slide is a toy manufactured by Wham-O, first introduced in 1961. The toy is a long sheet of thin plastic, flanked lengthwise on one side by a heat-sealed tubular fold. The tube can be attached to any ordinary garden hose. Water runs through the tube and out small perforations, spraying onto the sliding surface. The Slip 'n Slide then becomes very slippery, enabling users to slide onto the plastic and slide the length of the sheet. Mojde Esfandiari, Wham-O’s president & CEO stated that June will be declared National Slip 'N Slide month. Wham-O and makers of similar competitive products later included various enhancements such as an inflatable pool at one end of the sliding surface and spray tubes on both sides.

#30 (tied)SlinkyUsually stops on the fourth stepA Slinky is a coil-shaped toy invented by mechanical engineers Richard James and Allen Jensen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It could go down stairs by walking "end-over-end". Slinkys come in various sizes. The shape is a simple helix, or coil design, of a ribbon of material, originally metal. The Slinky can "walk" down stairs as the coils stretch and reform as gravity moves them down each step, the spring's momentum causing it to spill end over end from one step to the next.

#29Monopoly (3 points)I DONT WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE! *throws board*Monopoly is a board game published by Parker Brothers, a subsidiary of Hasbro. Players compete to acquire wealth through stylized economic activity involving the buying, renting, and trading of properties using play money, as players take turns moving across the board according to the roll of the dice. The object of the game is to own every piece of property and drive the other players into bankruptcy. The game is named after the economic concept of monopoly, the domination of a market by a single entity. Monopoly is the most commercially-successful board game in United States history, with 480 million players worldwide. According to Hasbro, since Charles Darrow patented the game in 1935, approximately 750 million people have played the game, making it "the most played (commercial) board game in the world. The 1999 Guinness Book of Records cited Hasbro's previous statistic of 500 million people having played Monopoly. Games Magazine has inducted Monopoly into its Hall of Fame.

#29 (tied)DC FiguresNobody move...there's a giant falcon right behind us. (Selected Article) DC Superheroes is a collection of action figures originally produced by Mattel in early 2006. It is divided into two different lines- the Justice League Unlimited toyline and the S3: Select Sculpt Series, which is further divided into two lines, one featuring Batman, and the other featuring Superman. Series 1 of the S3 line began shipping just after Christmas 2005 to Wal Mart and began arriving in retailers like Target and Toys R Us approximately one month later. The figures have characteristics similar to the competing Marvel Legends line in terms of detailed sculpting, articulation, and including a comic book or in some cases, a poster with each figure.

#29 (tied) Easy Bake Oven
Time to get fat!The Easy-Bake Oven, currently a product of Hasbro, is a working toy oven that for many years used an ordinary light bulb as a heat source, but now has a true heating element. Eleven versions of the Easy-Bake Oven have been sold. By 1997, more than 16 million Easy-Bake Ovens had been sold. The oven comes with packets of pastry mix and small round pans. (Additional mixes can be purchased separately.) After water is added to the mix in the pan, it is pushed into the oven through a slot. After cooking, the cake is pushed out through a slot in the other end.

#29 (tied)Lincoln Logs (Wooden Blocks)JENGA!Lincoln Logs are a toy consisting of notched miniature logs, about ¾ inches (1-2 cm) in diameter. Analogous to real logs used in a log cabin, Lincoln Logs have notches in their ends so that small model log buildings can be built. In addition, a Lincoln Logs set has windows and doors to make the buildings more realistic. More modern sets also come with figures of humans and animals that match the scale of the buildings. Lincoln Logs were invented some time between 1916 and 1917 (the official Lincoln Logs website indicates 1916) by John Lloyd Wright, a son of the notable architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1918, they were marketed by the Red Square Toy Company and by John Lloyd Wright, Incorporated of Chicago, Illinois.[citation needed] Lincoln Logs originally came with instructions on how to build Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as Lincoln's log cabin.

#28 (4 points)Mighty Max ToysMommy, somethings wrong with my Polly Pocket!Mighty Max was a series of toys which were manufactured by Bluebird Toys PLC in the UK in 1992. The toys were similar to the earlier Polly Pocket toyline; however, these toys were marketed primarily towards young boys. In Canada and the USA, they were distributed by Irwin Toy Limited. and Mattel Inc. respectively. The original toyline consisted mainly of "Doom Zones" and "Horror Heads." "Doom Zones" were small playsets with a horror theme and featured miniature figurines of menacing creatures and the hero Max, a young boy with blond hair, jeans, a white t-shirt with a red "M" on it, and a baseball cap (the color varied based on the playset purchased) which also always had an "M" on it. The "Horror Heads" were smaller-sized playsets, also shaped like the heads of creatures and contained miniature figures. It was later adapted as a TV series and in a Super Nintendo game. ---------------------------- #28 (tied)Snoopy Sno Cone MakerNow with dog flavor!In 1979 a popular children's toy was introduced called the Snoopy Snow Cone Machine that allowed kids to make a snow cone at home. Ice cubes were placed in a plastic machine shaped like Snoopy's doghouse. A hand-crank was used to make the shaved ice. The snow cone was flavored with syrup made from Flavor-Aid and dispensed from a dispenser that was shaped like Snoopy. It came with a plastic shovel and paper cups to put the snow cone in that are very similar to how one serves Italian Ice. This product is still sold today.

Mighty Max! Now that is a blast from the past. Completely useless as a toy as you end up losing bits but hey, nostalgia is fun.

#27 (tied)Etch A SketchI'll write the F....now the U...here's the C....Etch A Sketch is a registered trademark for a mechanical drawing toy manufactured by the Ohio Art Company. An Etch A Sketch is a thick, flat gray screen in a plastic frame. There are two knobs on the front of the frame in the lower corners. Twisting the knobs moves a stylus that displaces aluminum powder on the back of the screen, leaving a solid line. The knobs create lineographic images. The right control moves the stylus horizontally, and the left one moves it vertically. The Etch A Sketch was introduced near the peak of the Baby Boom, and is one of the best known toys of that generation. In 2003, the Toy Industry Association named Etch A Sketch to its Century of Toys List, a roll call commemorating the 100 most memorable and most creative toys of the 20th century. It remains popular to this day. ------------------------------------------------------ #27 (tied)M.A.S.K FiguresKinda like G.I Transformers(Article from the TV series) The original series focused mainly on the vehicles and characters from the original 1985 toy line. More characters were introduced as the line expanded with a second wave in 1986. The format for the last season of the show featured a racing theme to correspond with the theme of the third wave M.A.S.K. toys. A major difference from the first season is by the second, V.E.N.O.M. agents knew the personal identities of the M.A.S.K. team, whereas V.E.N.O.M. did not know their identities during the first season. The second season lasted for only ten episodes. There is a storyline difference in the mini comic books which came with each toy. In the comics, Miles Mayhem knew the identity of Matt Trakker and had originally helped start the M.A.S.K. team but betrayed him later. This was very similar to the second series of the cartoon.
