TiedGagged_Diapergirl Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 As was fitting to my status as a tomboy from about 6-11, I found myself liking traditionally boys toys more than I did most dolls. It wasn't complete, I still had a good supply of cute little plushies and my Rainbow Brite dolls are quite the vintage artifact now (I have the ORIGINALS no less, and aside from a little cleaning up needed, they're in good shape), but I had a lot of action figures as well. My Rainbow Brite dolls were guarded and flanked by lots of Dungeons and Dragons plastic figures, Visionaries, the occasional GI-Joe figure and vehicle (not sure how I got a rainbow sprite to ride a Cobra Hydrofoil, but I did!), and early Masters of the Universe stuff.

Lanthey Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 ME!! I'm really really really girly but there are certain "boyish" things that I love... I really adore playing with Brio (the wooden train sets) all though I do silly things like put my squinkies in the Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Who dies NOT like the Doctor? (there is a "who's on first" routine somewhere in there that I am not going to touch with a 10 foot TARDIS and that I have done elsewhere anyway) Back in the day, a sonic screwdriver was an orange juice and vodka served aboard the Concorde Link to comment
Wowet Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Pokemon is not a boys toy >_< when I was at school when it first came out everybody loved it. I personally think there is no such thing as a boys toy or a girls toy. I feel that separating toys into gender categories limits the imagination of children. I'm only a TA but once I know more about children development I could add in fancy qoutes and stuff I do know that when I have children I won't say that they are playing with toys that is for a particular gender, if my boy wants a doll he can have one if my girl wants a truck she can have it, I'll let them explore and then choose what they want to play with.

Goofy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I was the youngest for almost my entire childhood so ALL THE TOYS belonged to me eventually. That being said eventually my older brothers action figures mingled in with my older sisters dolls. Now, I'll admit that I am a bit boyish. I don't think this is a bad thing though. Even when I do my little girl play I still don't toy discriminate. Although I have played with a sissy before and she admittedly was WAY too girly for my taste. Almost annoyingly so. Link to comment
LittleMissie Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I played with both, but very early on I told my parents that I felt like a girl Link to comment
sonofninasayers Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 speaking as a boy there is nothing wrong with girls playing with boys toys, and most boys play with girls toys as well for example the only girl toy that use to have and played with was a little mermaid Ariel doll complete with fins that you can put on and take off Link to comment
BabyJune Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 My troop girls are getting ready to participate in a Pinewood Derby this coming January...but not against the Boy Scouts. We have our own night. I guess the boys are afraid that the girls will whip their butts. When I told the girls about the Pinewood Derby, they got really excited about it. Now all I need is for one of them to paint their car lime green Link to comment
smarti Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 do any of you girls like playing with toy cars, or model trains? These interests seem hopelessly male, and a maleness i can't cut off.. playing with trains is maybe the closest a man becomes to being a little. Link to comment

Little BabyDoll Christine Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I guess my uncle (see my blog) was smarter than it appeared to have me compartmentalize the two parts of me. Otherwise, I might have ended up sissy instead of LG. There is no way we could have boys' tiaras. If the two parts of me were let to "rub againste each other" it would certainly have caused some strong and bad reactions if I tried to mix them You have no idea of how much of a "red-blooded American boy" I was half the time Link to comment

Little BabyDoll Christine Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Slot cars came in all sizes and shapes and theire were places with track layouts of different "scales": HO, 1:32nd, 1:25th and 1:24th. where you could race them in 1968-9 Link to comment
sonofninasayers Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 If anyone wants to talk about model railways there is a topic called model trains Link to comment
Tessa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I do! I like video games, Legos, frisbee and yo-yos. I don't mind playing dress up once in a while, but I don't like make up to dollies or pretend house/cooking. I feel like everyone needs to stop generalizing "boys" and "girls" toys and let children play with whatever interests them. Link to comment
Joanne_chan Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think the only 'boys toys' I ever really played with a bit were Matchbox cars, Action Man (an Anglicized GI Joe) and Meccano sets despite my folks best attempts otherwise as I preferred skipping, dolls, plushies and board games.

hen Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Odd thing is... as a child, I was a total tomboy. I had rollerblades with lightning bolts on them and matchbox cars and everything. But as an adult, and now an adult little girl, I am all about the fem. Tea sets and ballet and dollhouses, that is me ~ Link to comment

Little BabyDoll Christine Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I do not have that problem, I do not let them build up. Enemies are like barnacles, If you do not scrape them off, they build up and cause trouble Link to comment
