Does anyone remember a figure that came in a trash bag?
The main point was the bag dissolved in water.

Yup. Trash Bag Bunch.

Was in town today and saw in a charity shop...Manta Force! Jesus I've not seen them in ages! Anyway I was just wondering what you guys/gals used to play with (keep it clean, no jokes about finding a space rocket in your mothers drawer!) when you were young.

A few of what I had along with the likes of He-Man, Transformers and that:
Super Naturals - I thought these were awesome when I was a kid, guess I was wrong!
The Real Ghostbusters - Humans Ghosts - Fantastic toys, I had all of the Fright series when I was younger, no idea what happened to them at all. The monsters and ghosts where even cooler.
Boglins
Monster In My Pocket - I think these came with a strip of bubble gum.
Mighty Max
Garbage Pail Kids - Not toys but stickers and cards, these were banned in many schools over here for some reason.

There was also this purple monster with a chain but I can't remember what they were called.

Man, I remember of all those. I had the ghostbusters fright series and I collected garbage pail kids too (starvin' marvin

I forgot all about Super Naturals, but I always remember Visionaries an M.A.S.K.


OMG! Centurions!!!!

How did I forget them when they rocked so freakin' hard?!! Best toys ever!!!

I'm kinda old so...I guess you can say I started off with these:

My father believed action figures were dolls...and boys don't play with dolls...so my childhood somewhat sucked lol

When I got a chance though I enjoyed He-Man, Thundercats, GI Joe, MASK, Silverhawks, MUSCLE, LEGOS, and all that shit from the early 80's.

I remember playing with He-Man when I was very small.
Then it was Pin Y Pon, which I think is a spanish toy so here you go:

Ill kill you if you laugh,

.

It's the "girliest" thing I've had so far, from then on I had building blocks and books. I also did lots of handmade stuff with my mum.

And from then on I must have been around 5 years old I played the Sega Mega Drive.
I went online the first time when I was 6 and I haven't stopped since. Nearly a decade!
Then I got a game boy pocket.
When I was 9 I started to play the piano, and now the guitar is also another "toy" of mine.

I didn't really have thousands of things. I could keep myself amused with almost anything, to be honest most of the time it was nothing, just my imagination. I never liked barbie, or baby dolls. I remember when I had one when I was really little and it had a pram. What did I do? I took the pram up a hill, sat on it ( I could fit in it!! XD ) and, weeeeeee!!!

I would imagine I was in a mission and dress up when I was small too. Videogames were my toys, not dolls. XD

ALSO something I loved doing that I haven't mentioned: I would stay in my bathroom hours at a time, mixing stuff like chalk powder with water, and stuff like making blocks out of wet soapy toilet paper. Mixing creams and perfume, pretty much anything. My parents call them "experiments" lol.

Speaking of Dominoes, anyone remember Domino Rally and those various other packs like glow in the dark and rockets?

LEGO

Practically the only toy i had! They were pretty cheap and since you can take them apart, its like you bought many lego sets instead of one
