Rhetty For History recently took a trip down nostalgia lane to bring us all the popular toys and games from the 1970s, noting that many had since been forgotten (well, not by us!).
The 1970s had a lot of toys for kids to choose from and some of those have remained popular to this day. Other toys weren’t so luck and some have been lost over time. In this video we will remember some of the 1970s forgotten toys!
We definitely remember games like The Hungry Hungry Hippos and Simon, but had definitely forgotten about The Bionic Woman board game, Lite Bright and Wooly Willy – did we even get any of these in Australia? Actually, there were quite a few games & toys from that era that induced nightmares too (not looking at you Jack-in-the-Box!).
Our fave toys from the 1970s were the Steve Austin action figure, the Kenner Star Wars action figures and pretty much every Matchbox car under the sun! We are probably forgetting some, but the ones we’ve mentioned are seared in our hippocampus.
