Your favorite childhood toy is probably gone. Maybe your parents threw it out. Maybe you broke it yourself. Or maybe it’s sitting in an attic somewhere, in a box of other toys you once loved and now have forgotten about. Whatever the case, we all had our favorite toys as kids—and now, most likely, we don’t.

But it’s fun to think about them, isn’t it? To tap into those moments of childhood wonder, sitting on the floor of your living room, having the time of your life with some simple piece of plastic. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that toy again? To look at it and re-experience those memories? Of course it would.

So I asked the entire Gizmodo staff what their favorite toys were growing up. One that they have fond memories of and would love to have back. The answers make for a very wild ride. Check them out.
