Barbie just did not work for me. She was too elongated and not posable while standing, and I wanted sturdy little toys that could be posed standing as they went on endless adventures. Since I had carpet, Legos and Playmobil only worked on my desk, which was limiting. I did have a lot of them anyway: my favorite Lego activity was recreating Ancient Egypt, a time period I was fascinated with, and build pyramids with the yellow bricks, with labyrinths inside, figurines acting as mummies, and treasure.

But my all-time favorite was Calico Critters: they hit all my criteria of cute, animal, furry, and posable while standing, and came with drool-worthy accessories that of course my parents never wanted to buy. All I had was the schoolroom, and most of my Critters were hand-me-downs. But we still went on lots of adventures.

It's interesting that my son and daughter have replicated that in their pretend play. No Barbies, lots of Legos and Calico Critters. And I don't stint on the accessories!
