I guess it depends on the time frame of childhood.
My first answer would be a baseball bat, ball and glove because that consumed me, but if we're just talking traditional toys you played with when you were really little, I'd say Adventure People:

Lego. I could make any toy I wanted with them. I made my own Transformers that (sort of) transformed into airplanes, a Mask base, all kinds of guns, a submarine that wouldn't sink because it was made of hollow plastic, bumpy race tracks for marbles, ... (oh yeah I was into marbles too).

So many memories here. I forgot about my Z-Bots. I loved those!
How about some attack pack?

LEGOs, bikes, basketball, cap-guns, GI Joes (the small, cheap ones), and fireworks.
We weren't poor but let's just say I got toys at birthdays, Christmas, and everything else was bought with allowance and chore-money.

Rambo and Ninja Turtles. My parents still have most of my ninja turtles in their storage but I lost all of my Rambo toys to a babysitter unfortunately.

My wife still has a bunch of Ninja Turtles stuff. For our first anniversary I bought her an April O'Neil because that was the only one she didn't have as a kid. She has the Pizza thrower, multiple versions of all four turtles, Shredder, Splinter, Casey Jones, and a few of the news crew friends from April O'Neil's station. She told me she didn't have any of the bad guys (except Shredder) because who wants the bad guys as a gift?

I hated this thing initially but grew to trust it. Anyone else have one?

I completely forgot about those. I wonder if mine was bought for me or was a hand me down from my older sibling.

I have video of me getting that firetruck for Xmas. They weren't my favorite but I did enjoy them.I guess it depends on the time frame of childhood.

Am I a bad person for looking down my nose at you plebs who played with "action figures". I'm not joking. At no time in my life did they ever appeal to me.
Instead, I played with the far superior...
Setting up different ambushes around furniture and blankets was the best.

I was one of those weird kids that preferred Matchbox cars. They always seemed to have more doors that opened and movable elements.

Action Man - Talking Commander. I have no idea if this popular outside of the UK.

Top 5 toy lines that got the most play when I was a kid:
1. GI Joe (this toy line got way more playtime then the others. From the scale to the articulation to the vehicle designs - everything was brilliant and perfect for my young creative mind)
2. MASK
3. Starcom
4. Superhero toys (Kenner DC Superpowers)
5. Lego (pirate, castle, space) the space sets that had the figures with black suits and solid black visors we’re my favourite.
Honourable mention would go to transformers, but I enjoyed transforming them more than actually playing out adventures with them, so they got significantly less play - time overall.

Ghostbusters figures, Ecto-1, and the fire station.
I can’t overestimate how much I loved being a kid in the ‘80s.

All of my Power Rangers toys were my favorites. I also loved any Spider-Man and Batman figures I could get my hands on. Later on I also took an interest in wrestling figures too.

This was me, MASK being my favorite of the bunch. Still have several MASK toys though my nephew and my kids have lost a bunch of the pieces.

I had so much toys, I don't even know where to begin. I had stuff from Playmobil, Fisher-Price (including Construx later), multiple M.A.S.K. sets, He-Man, GI Joe figures, Matchbox cars, Hotwheels, Micro Machines, Battle Beasts, lots of LEGO (including Technic later), a figurine from the animated series BraveStarr, the Marshmallow Man from the Ghostbusters film... I probably missed a lot, but that's what is on top of my head.
