Oh hey, I never submitted this? Derp. OK. Well since this week is going to be dedicated to me getting A LOT of icon commissions done, enjoy.
When I was little, I only really had one friend. She was fairly popular because she happened to have a lot of awesome hi-tech toys, the latest in video games, and a swimming pool -- all key elements in climbing your way up the elementary school social ladder. While she had a lot of followers who were only in it for the material possessions, I was just glad to have someone who WANTED to play with me and didn't pretend I had some sort of disease.
At any rate, I never liked Barbies much as a kid. I was a devout follower of The Church of My Little Plastic Horse Figurines. But my friend, M, had a lot of Barbies and I'd get into the spirit of playing with them in her huge concrete basement whenever I was at her house. As she was popular, it was every girl for herself when it came time to select which doll, husband, and vehicle you'd be wobbling around for the next couple hours. As they were M's dolls she got the first selection. Now M happened to be black, and also happened to have black Barbies. She would always choose the MC Hammer doll as her husband, as he was clearly the handsomest of the bunch. I was usually last on the pecking order, and the last person always got the rollerskate car... and the husband with the afro whose head was constantly popping off. I remember distinctly the one time we'd made the mistake of letting my brother play with us, and he sent Afro Poppin' Hubby crashing right into one of the concrete walls while in a toy boat.
We never let my brother play Barbies with us again.

You know, I don't think I ever really grew out of the whole "What you have makes you cooler" phase of childhood.
I still believe that he/she who has the most awesome stuff wins. What they win, I dunno. They just do.
So I have a MASSIVE collection of NES games, SNES games, Genesis games...
...hell I have tons of games and game swag!
And yet barely any friends.
I'm married, so don't get me wrong, I'm not lonely. I just wish I knew more folks who were interested in all this.
Sigh.
Oh well.

I remember some Matchbox cars I had that had little spring-loaded rotating panels, so when something hit the panel it'd spin so it looked like the car was in an accident. I also had some that changed color in hot/cold water, but most of them mysteriously got stuck in their hot color.
I dunno, I was more into Lincoln Logs. Especially building tunnels for my train set to go through.

Ah, see, my sister and I were never devout Barbie followers either- so one year when one of our miscellaneous aunts decided to purchase two Aqua barbies for our 7th birthday or so, we didn't know what to do with em. Well, I tried to at least be civil with my Barbie (brushing her hair and the like though still, clueless) while my sister promptly, during bath time, smacked her Barbie's blonde head up against the faucet repeatedly.
Oh, childhood memories

Lol, my friend used to make me play Barbie's with her in her uber Barbie pink playhouse thing. i hated it, I was never a Barbie kind of gal but she was, and she was the 'popular one' so what she said goes (i was much more content playing, say, pirate ship or fort)lol. my 'hubby' had no lower half. his legs just...spontaneously disappeared one day, and I didn't bother looking for them...
My sister had a couple of Barbies. On one, she tried cutting its toenails. It could no longer stand. It was either the same doll or another one, though, that the dog got a hold of, and chewed it pretty badly. It lost an arm.
...It was then "Handicapped Barbie" (before they really made one), and all the other Barbie dolls were mean to her and told her to clap. ^_^
Moment of Zen: If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to BUY her friends?

On a more hilarious note, my favorite toy as a child was one of those green plastic toy soldiers that I had partially melted with a magnifying glass [the ion cannon], who subsequently gained unlimited power and became "Captain Deformed". My sense of humor is still as retarded to this day.
I used to have action figures and pokemons and digmons and my friend had barbies and pretty princesses.
So stoic digimon princes would fall in love with pretty princesses and then they got married and had kids like pikachu and a baby barbie and stoic old dad would disappear on some epic quest.
This whole comic just makes me feel nostalgic for those times where my favorite weregarurumon was tossed against the wall by her big brother and we had to give him a a proper funeral with all his bastard pokeman children in attendence. :<

RV or sports car? I'll take the skate!
I think that your brother and I think alike. All doll, errm... ACTION FIGURE, escapades usually ended up with a brick, trip off the deck, or firecrackers.

I really don't remember my barbie doll phase, but lol, I'd take the roller skates anytime. I do remember I used my environment to play with my them. Like during christmas when we put up the giant fake tree. C: It was a giant apartment house! So our christmas tree, for the longest time would be filled with barbies. Cause that was tradition.
I have some strange Barbie memories. I never had any friends when I was little so I always had to either play with my little cousin, who was very controlling, or by myself..normally the latter.. and my family is incredibly racist, but my mom was very charitable when I was little, so she'd buy toys to give to charity.. and she bought a black birthday Barbie doll for a little black girl somewhere one year, though I had no idea at the time, and I found it in her closet..and I BEGGED her to let me have it because she had better accessories.
For some reason, it seemed like the black versions of Barbies always had better accessories.. and I couldn't get them unless I stole from the less fortunate.

Oh god, when my friend was little, he and his sis played barbies. So he got a white girl, who the sister renamed to Shaniqua. For a husband, she had Ken, but since she only had one male doll, he got various objects, one being a cube of jello from the earlier snack. As for a car, same as you. A roller skate.
So when the dog ate Shaniqua's husband, he spazzed.
