National Toy Hall of Fame... Epic!

Well, how do you know? When I was scanning the TV the other day for some good watch, I came across AXN’s bizarre game show called ‘101 Ways to Leave a Game Show’. This is probably the only game show I would not be psyched to join in. But I’m not gonna tell you more about the show. What I wanted to share in this post is my newly discovered info with the help of the game show that sure tickled my curiousity. One of the questions included the inducted toys in the National Toy Hall of Fame. I mean, is there such thing? And with a little help from Uncle Google, I found out that it’s for real! How awesome is that, man? and so… here it is… the toys that made its way to the National Toy Hall of Fame. A round of applause, please.

Here’s my question, have you owned every/any of the inducted toys? I had a fair few. And I hope this post reminded you that your childhood never would have been that meaningful and happy if it weren’t for these toys that kept you company, inducted or not.
