Hmm depends upon age
I think my earliest favourite was a fluffy bunny with wire in it's ears so you could shape them, it would probably spark a Trading Standards media recall nowadays
Then, later, my trike, then my roller skates
and after that the soapbox racer go-cart my dad made

Me and my brother used to play flying action man, chucking them over the washing line and seeing which one's limbs came off first!

They were always busy chatting up Barbie from next door, anyway.

I had a big (and I mean biigggg) plastic hammer called A Wicky Wacky Sock-it To Me Toot Toot Tapper" which I used to hit visitors with. Loved that hammer.
Bestest thing I never had but my best friend did have was Crossfire. Anyone remember that?
The PC brigade got it discontinued because of the ballbearings (or so I was told)

Dh and his brother had "Zorro" swords with pieces of chalk in the ends - so you could do the "swish, swish, swish" thing and make a "Z" on your opponent.
