The Pillsbury Doughboy was because of the movie Ghostbusters. My little brother got one for Xmas.

I’m surprised Trivial Pursuit isn’t on the list for the 80′s.

I find it very hard to believe that a freaking Nerf ball has ever been the most popular Christmas toy.

This list is very wrong. Pretty sure they just made this stuff up.

Knock knock christine. That’s a Staypuft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters.Not the Doughboy. ( I have no idea how it made it on the list either) I too am skeptical about the D&D. I think Knevel should have made the list somwhere in the early 70′s. At 40yo the only one I had the year it was popular was PS2. Yes I had to buy that one myself.

whats with the Pillsbury doughboy in 1986? And after 2000 the “toys” look more like electronics. Kind of sad.

What’s with the Pillsbury Doughboy? And boy, when you get past the year 2000, a lot of those are not toys, they are very expensive types of electronics. SAD really.

Ain’t no way that D&D was the most popular XMas toy/game in 1974.
