Top 10 Toys

HoopsVH1 reprised its highly successful and hilarious I Love the '80s approach for its all new five-part series "I Love Toys" with a countdown of the top 100 toys. The hula hoop was number 1, and has an evolved following as witnessed at hooping.org.

The journey to rank the top 100 toys of all time and setting your inner child free consisted of online voting, sales, historical significance and longevity.

The top 10 toys of all time are:
  10. Wiffle Ball & Bat
   9.  Slinky
   8.  Yo-Yo
   7.  Star Wars Figure
   6.  Monopoly
   5.  Mr. Potato
   4.  G.I. Joe
   3.  LEGO
   2.  Barbie
   1.  Hula Hoop

VSPOT featured a Mini-Countdown of toys 110-101.
