11. Lite-Brite

Why you totally wanted this: How could you not want it?! You had the commercial’s jingle (which was played nonstop) stuck in your head. “Lite-Brite, Lite-Brite, turn on the magic of colored lights.”

12. Teddy Ruxpin

Why you totally wanted this: Five words: It was a talking bear! Seriously, you probably thought it would magically come to life one day — which would’ve been completely freaky, TBH.

13. PlayTentss

Why you totally wanted this: Aside from the fact that you could play your favorite tapes, you could also record yourself with this and play it back!

15. Garfield Stuffed Animals

Why you totally wanted this: It’s easy to forget, but Garfield was actually really cool in the ’80s. Not only did he have his comic, but he also had a series of specials and his own Saturday morning cartoon, Garfield & Friends. Plus, you probably saw the Garfield stuffed animal suction cup window cling hanging inside someone’s car anytime you went anywhere.
