Can you guess the names of these popular toys from 1968?
What was on wish lists half a century ago?
If you sat on Santa's knee in 1968, there's a good chance you asked for one of these toys.
We've gathered some of the hottest kid products — dolls, board games, cars and action figures — from that year's Sears catalog. Some of these things can still be found stocked on toy aisles. Others have faded in collectability.
