The fact that heman didn't make the top 10 of the 80s list is bogus. Trust me. I was there. Heman was everywhere.

the 80s was easily the best decade for toys. I actually feel sorry for kids who didn't grow up during that decade.

I was born in 1980, and you could list Lego for the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Hell you could make an argument that it was overall the top toy for each decade, I know they were limiting it to when it was most popular. Who didn't grow up with Lego?

The fact that He-Man didn't make the top 10 for the 80's and Ninja Turtles didn't make the top 10 for the 90's immediately invalidates these lists.

The fact that heman didn't make the top 10 of the 80s list is bogus. Trust me. I was there. Heman was everywhere. I think the biggest knock against MOTU is longevity. MOTU barely lasted four years before completely crashing and burning. Both G.I.Joe and Transformers ran for four seasons as shows, He-Man only got two. Both of the former had comic series that lasted over a hundred issues each. He-Man's barely lasted a year. While the others may have faded in and out of public conscious, they never really stopped and continue in different forms through today. The MOTU line died a hard and brutal death (and helped put a movie studio out of business), with attempts at revivals either failing or being severely low-key. He-Man and his toyline sort of became punchlines that have greatly influenced how they are perceived today.

Lego has to be the best toy ever. And I was growing up before they made "girl" versions and was perfectly content with the Lego there was then. A blank canvas. It's still the best toy today
