These were the toys everyone wanted but no one seemed to have.
Kids today are often horrified to learn that in our own childhoods, we had to sit through commercials and could only choose between watching whatever was on the limited amount of channels that were out there.
If you grew up in the ’90s, you know that commercials were not that bad. A lot of times, they put you on to some pretty cool stuff.
The toys were particularly amazing. Everything looked like the most fun you can ever have, and it was all a phone call and credit card number away, so close yet so far.
Here are some of the best ’90s infomercial toys we were dying to bring home.

13.
BaByliss Magic Twist looked like the easiest way to make millions of super mini braids in our hair, like the greatest of ’90s girls.
14.
Hairagami was a grippy slap bracelet with a twist, because we refused to learn our hair was not a toy.
15.
