yo-yó, or the bailona peonza.The best-selling toys of the last 40 yearsFind out what have been the best selling and most popular toys of the last 40 years.
1- Yo-yó
During the 50s it was one of the most popular street gamesamong children. But the culmination of the yo-yó came in the 80s when it came totravel into space
to study the effects of gravity. Today, there are wood or plastic, and until they shine when launched. Pe 2- The spinning top
The first spinning tops were made of tinplate , although the wooden tops are still the best sold and the ones that better roll. It is not so easy to make them dance, but there is no child today who has never tried it. 3- Tente Today could be compared to the Lego, although the Tente stopped being manufactured in 2004, but the essence is the same. It is a game of constructions, whose old versions were designed only for men, thank goodness that the
feminine revolution
has reached it and it has been adapting to the new generations away from gender stereotypes. So the children of today have hundreds of versions to build from cargo trucks, to castles of princesses. 4- NancyBorn at the beginning of the 60s but does not have a wrinkle. La Nancy was born from a Spanish company and has known how to resist the inclemency of the weather. In the 70s it was an authentic
revolution,
and versions of the doll of different professions were sold. It was one of the gifts of first communion of the girls of the 80, although at the moment the Nancy most desired is the Nancy skier. 5- Scalextric The scalextric continues to occupy the top positions in the
wish list
of children since he arrived in the 60s. At first his cars were tinplate, and they were moving by winding him with a watch, later on electric tracks were filled with versions of the Seat 600, and currently renews its fleet of vehicles and its circuits, although the Le Mans continues to occupy the first place of the best sellers.
6- Famobil Clicks
He was born thanks to the oil crisis at the beginning of the 70s, as the plastic became more expensive and the dolls became smaller. The Famobil were the Spanish version of the German brand Playmobil, but its great success was due to the breadth of scenarios they represent: pirates, cowboys or professions like firemen or doctors. 7- Cinexin If you are over 35 years old, surely you were one of those who went crazy trying to mount the
8 mm
tape inside the Cinexin to watch small cartoon shorts. Riding the home theater was something that few could resist, and although it had no sound, it was fun to watch the drawings go back and forth again and again. Later versions carry sound effects and more movie options.
8- Barbie
At the beginning of the 60s one of the most emblematic dolls in the world emerged: Barbie. So desired by some, as hated by others for its thin physique that represented model of woman of the 60s, Barbie has become a doll that has everything you want: she is rich, famous, has a "handsome" boyfriend, a chalet on the beach, a car, perfect children and curves almost nonexistent. Something totally unreal. 9- Nenuco
Perhaps the most famous
baby for 40 years. With it we have grown women of the last half century: we have bathed, fed, walked in a cart, and made diapers with plastic bags. Today diapers are almost like the real ones, and have a variety of wardrobe background that many envy. 10- Game boy Before his arrival we played with the computer, but the Game Boy was an authentic revolution
, since we could take the game in a
pocket . The games of Super Mario and Tetris were endless among the children of the 90s. 11- Spinner
It was invented as an ant anti-stress toy
for children with autism, attention deficit or anxiety. However, its low price has made it one of the most requested toys of recent years. Its wide variety of styles and easy operation make it the star of the children's playground.
