Furby

Phenomenon of End of 90's...


Although I wanted to have a Furby so much, I hadn't got it when I was child.
Furby was an electronic robot toy resembling a hamster or owl-like creature which went through a period of being a "must-have" toy following its launch at the end of 90's.
The main reason for their popularity was because of apparent "intelligence", reflected in their ability to develop language skills. Furbies could communicate with one another via an infrared port located between their eyes. Furbies start out speaking entirely Furbish, a language with short words, simple syllables, and various other sounds. 
There was a common misconception that they repeated words that were said around them. This belief most likely stemmed from the fact that it is possible to have the Furby say certain pre-programmed words or phrases more often by petting it whenever it said these words. As a result of this myth, several intelligence agencies banned them from their offices.
The originals are still popular with many hackers as they can be dissected and made to do interesting things.

"Cabbage" Dolls


    

Colorfully Heads


These type of dolls were named as "cabbage" in 90's. Their property was that their heads had a sweety smell and they were in any color like blue, red, pink purple... Of course their fans were girls :) I had a green cabbage doll and I liked to smell its head very much. I always tried to comb her hair and clothed different than my friend's dolls.

Taso

Welcome to Taso Era!


Taso Tower
Nearly all children have played with these plastic discs named "Taso" in 90's. The most popular cartoon characters give attractiveness to them. Taso was a status symbol among children due to type of the characters. The child was the "king" who has the most taso. Every chips pack included one Taso and if you were lucky, you could find different one at every turn. Children bought chips just having a new taso and so chips producers had huge demands because of this crazy consuming. Taso has different playing styles such as making Taso tower, crashing one Taso to another and reversing. 
Now, all Tasos are hidden as a collection to show them to next generations...

Lego

Creative Structures


Lego was very valuable for me due to I get them by collecting coupons from newspaper :) I waited so much for these little blocks to create my own structures. I had a gas station form but I could converted it into different models like house, office, market..etc. I strongly believe that these type of toys are very helpful for children in order to develop their skills both physically and mentally. They are funny for adults also :)
