Mcdonald's version of the iconic Furby had a different interactive feature (synthetic hair, blinking eyes, wiggling ears, etc) but without all the spooky singing and talking the full-sized versions were known to do.

#2 Skydancers

They didn't quite fly like the real version of the 90's toy, but they did twirl and launch into the air, making our magical dreams come true.

#6 Tiny Toons Noise Makers And Flip Cars

Tiny Toons had quit the year in 1992. First it was flip cars, with massive wheels and a pair of Tiny Toons that sat on each side. Then it was the noise maker cars-wind up toys with clear domes, in which teeny tiny balls would shake around and make a surprising amount of noise.
