Toy Companies that Capture Our Childhood
The older we get, the more we appreciate our childhood and the toys that connect us to it. There are over 86 different toy companies in the US from A.C. Gilbert to Zizzle. All of them have made toys that we love. Let’s discuss some of the most popular toy companies.
Fisher-Price (one of the biggest toy companies in the world) created the “Play Family” in the 1960’s. They consisted of 5 wooden painted figures. In 1985, they became the “Little People”. Today, with the development of technology, the Little People wooden parts have been replaced by electronic circuitry. Fisher-Price has also developed 
other popular toys such as “Power Wheels”, “Barney”, and “Dora the Explorer”.
In 1923, the “Hassenfeld Brothers”, company was born. The name was shortened to “Hasbro” in 1968. From Hasbro came the famous “GI Joe” action figures in 1984, as well as the “Transformers” action figures. Boys loved the Transformers toys because they had never seen toys that actually transformed into another toy. Today Transformers toys are more popular then ever because of the two successful movies. Hasbro also produced the “Star Wars” action figures in the 80’s. Star Wars toys have only grown in popularity and are the highest selling action figures of all time.
Tyco is the third largest toy company in the United States. In the 80’s it produced the famous LEGO wood and plastic blocks. In 1995 Tyco became the exclusive provide of Sesame Street toys.
Whether we are young or old, toys will always have a place in our life. They represent the innocent child in us that will never go away.
