What is the highest profit margin children's toy of all time?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$So for the sake of satiating your curiosity, I'm going to take a few guesses at toys that should have the highest profit margins in the history of kiddom:
1. The Pet Rock

2. Playdough.
I mean the stuff is really just flour, corn starch, water, and food coloring.

3. Koosh Balls
Essentially just some dyed rubber bands arranged in a neat way.

5. Razor Scooters
Com'on. They're just tiny metal scooters.

M$When I was a young girl,I remember that the hulahoop was HUGE. Now,Kids are not so much into it. I also remember the rediculous ordeal my parents went through to get me an original Cabbage Patch kid.I still have the freaky looking thing.I can not give it away now,It is in MINT condition. That cost more back then than they do now.
SOOOO my guess is the Cabbage Patch Kid.
