Which merchandises and toys dominated which Christmas?

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Now when Christmas is over, it would be fun to make a list:

Which merchandises and toys did children want for Christmastime? It can be toys, videogames and other things. What was the Big Things for children during the holiday season?

Example

1978: Star Wars

1983: Masters of the Universe?

1984: GI Joe, Transformers

1989: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

1990: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

1991: Super Nintendo Entertainment System

1992: Toxic Crusaders

1993: Jurassic Park, Power Rangers

1996: Nintendo 64

and so on.

The Christmas and holiday season spawns over New Year but to make it simplier, you just need to write the actual year Christmas Day occurred. You can add multiple things for each year.

Let's begin around 1965, with the Saturday morning cartoon concept kicking off but if you know more about earlier years, don't hesitate to add.
