I've found a mighty list of the 5 best selling Christmas toys of each year since 1970.

It was a list gagging to be deathmatched.

Some memories on there too.

Evil Kneivel Stunt Bike anyone? (best seller, 1973)

A surprise 2nd for Buzz Lightyear in 1996:

1. Tickle Me Elmo - £19.99 (£36.44)
2. Buzz Lightyear - £23.99 (£43.74)
3. Doodle Bear - £14.75 (£26.89)
4. Gooey Louie - £12.99 (£23.68)
5. Space Jam Action Figures - £9.99 (£18.21)

I'd be very worried about Doodle Bear, definitely a wrong 'un.

Doodle Bear is truly horrifying - reckon its a bastard love child of Bungle and Mr Blobby.
