The winners are:
1. GI Joe
2. Transformers
3. Lego
4. Barbie
5. View-Master
6. Bicycle
7. Cabbage Patch Kids
8. Crayons
9. Play-doh
10. Monopoly
11. Raggedly Ann

Some make sense...others bleh...
I would think in my case the list is missing the yo-yo or the game called battleship.
How about your list?

What a weird list. How the ubiquitous teddy bear could not make the top-20 list for the last 100 years is beyond me. It's got to be one of, if not the most, iconic toy of that time span.

If bicycle and crayons can be on the list, I don't see why ball is not at the very top. Or how about skipping rope and hula hoop?

How did Monopoly make the list? it's not really a toy.
haha i feel sorry for all your canadian grown guys. Those japanese robots i had as a kid were 1000000 times better than any crappy transformer released here.
Gundam, Robotech, Gatchaman, sooo awesome.
