TOY LEGENDS: The All-Time Greatest Toys (Part 1) 玩具震撼:最佳玩具榜榜首 (上)
- By Marcus Aurelius Maurice
Ever wondered which toys deserve a spot in the Toy Hall of Fame? Icons like yo-yos, toy cars, or video games instantly come to mind. Classic toys such as jacks, playing cards, Chess, Monopoly, and Uno have brought endless smiles to generations. The Toy Hall of Fame is full of toys that left a lasting impact on playtime over the years.
The National Toy Hall of Fame was established in 1998 at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Its mission is to celebrate items that have been cherished for generations and are passed down from one family to the next. Each year, select toys are inducted into the Hall based on their enduring popularity and the impact they've had on the world of play.
Some of the first inductees into the Toy Hall of Fame included the teddy bear, crayons, the Frisbee, Etch-a-Sketch, Barbies, Play-Doh, marbles, and LEGO. Every year, a panel of experts and public votes determine which toys are worthy of joining the hallowed halls. In 2023, notable inductees included Cabbage Patch Kids, baseball cards, and NERF toys. In 2024, 12 toys became finalists, but only three were fortunate enough to find a place in the Hall: Transformers, My Little Pony, and Phase 10.
Here's your chance to cast your vote for the next generation of toy legends!
