We’ve all had colourful childhoods, thanks to the variety of toys each one of us have been bestowed with. They might have been action figures or dollhouses, but every toy meant something to us back in the day. Today, we cherish those companies and compare them to the present day to see which of our favourite brands are still in the rat race of being bestsellers in India.
