The Children's Museum of Indianapolis just had 24,000 people young and old vote on their favourite toy of the last 100 years. Coming in at #1 was GI Joe! They've gotten smaller since being introduced in 1964 as they started out 12 inches tall but by the time I was playing with them in the 80's they were just 4 inches. If I was picking my top toy I probably would've gone with Lego. Below is the top 20 toys of the last 100 years. How many have been in your home at some point?
