Did you have a favorite toy when you where a kid? A toy you had to take ever where. I had a stuffed Ernie and I took him all over the place until one day I dropped him and thought that he got hurt so I never took him out again. I even put a bandage in him to make sure he was okay. That bandage stayed on him for close to 30 years before I took it off. Yup, I still have my Ernie. My daughter has one too that is exactly the same. I need to get my son one now too but it's hard to find. Or maybe a Bert stuffie.
So what was you favorite childhood toy and do you still have it?

I do have an unopened blankie still in its packaging to give to my future kid though, kinda hoping it'd give him/her the same sense of security I felt as a kid.
and umm I don't remember
I still have it btw. I'll have to find it and take a pic.
*Very* threadbare, the felt tongue it had is *gone* eyes are scratched, the tail and ears have been resown on so many times... but I'll never get rid of it.
The first was a Transformer - he came as part of those ones that had a bigger, non-transforming part, but a smaller transformer inside. I think he was a purplish gryphony character in "transformed" mode, but I found endless ways of using my imagination with him. Very small, but very fun. I unfortunately had my old Transformer collection sold when I was a kid... though I made up for it by some garage sales spectaculars (including an almost perfect Soundwave set with Ravage and Laserbeak... for only 2 dollars!)
The other toy I had (still have in fact) I carried around alot... which works perfectly, because he's only about 3-4 inches tall. I don't know what he was from, but my friend gave him to me one day when I saw it. The thing was a little spaceman kind of toy with a plastic body and small rubbery arms and legs that attatch to plastic pegs on the body. It was very rudimentary, only able to move his arms and legs 360 degrees without bending knees or anything... but I loved him nonetheless =p
There MIGHT, MIGHT I say, be a clew there.
Oldest toy I still have: Couple of 50 year old Fleischmann train sets my parents bought at the PX in Ankara, Turkey before I was born. :)
I remember to use to put my finger in its mouth, pretending to let it suck my blood. LOL! It was so cute!

[Sighs.] I miss that bear. T_T
I lost her once in the movie theater, when we went back she was still sitting right where I left her.
I buried her once during recess. After school my papa came up with a shovel and we dug that sand box up like no other.
Some kids took her away from me to play with her, threw her up in the air and by happenstance she fell into an old bird's nest. So...after school papa came back with a long pole and that old nest was knock out.
She's so worn out that her plastic head started coming undone from her body (the fabric is getting worn out) and my granny had to sew it back on.
I wish I could remember the brand name so I could find a picture.
