Looks like they're making a comeback
Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon...Pet rocks.
Yu-Gi-Oh is bigger than ever...
Now Furby and Beanie Babies are where it was at!
Easy Bake Oven.
Lite Brite [I thought this was magical, haha].
Tickle-me Elmo.
I'm sure there are plenty of others.
Although at various points of my child-hood I had all of the above except Tickle-me Elmo.
The OG green and yellow one.
They were awesome and much fun was had with them in 1997.

Really? Damn.
So many fights caused by those things. Fist fights over little chunks of cardboard
These things, where you push down on the center and then they'd pop up into the air, were all the rage in grade school. Teachers confiscated enough to fill drawers and yet they still showed up.
Man that is DEEP.

Sadly yes. I buy stuff around here and try to resell it for a few dollars profit here and there to sprinkle some extra cash into my video game account. Yugioh is big money right now. They are releasing a new format or something to make old cards good again.
Rubber band guns were an intense flash in the pan.
Loved those rubber caps that you inverted, someone posted above.
Finger skateboards were oddly popular for a while. Between periods in elementary school was when the boys would gather in the bathroom and do sick tricks on the window ledge.

We used the sink for finger skateboards, they were just like "Tony Hawk's Bowl"
Pogs
Yoyos
Whatabout heely shoes? Or Soaps?
Whatabout the "original" Spinners? The rims on your car that spun! Ha! The cheap ones were terrible. The nice ones were admittedly cool to look at.

Besides Yu-Gi-Oh which as mentioned by other posters is still going strong Digimon is still popular also. There are two Digimon games on the PS4 one just came out earlier this year.

The nice ones could make a car look like it was floating. Very neat.

Haha I used to think those were so cool when I was little
One fad I wish I still had are my old Rumble Robots. You haven't lived until you've played a round with Boltman and Lugnut.
Omg......YOU GOTTA GET THE CARDS TO GET THE POWER!!!

I don't have my bots anymore, but I still have my Gold Card, all my repair cards, and the MAX treasure card...I miss my Mefisto with battle armor and the cool trap set!
