My parents were always into giving me the creative-type toys as well. Legos, Erector sets, chemistry sets, etc. Also the mighty C64, of course. I liked 'em for the most part, and I still love legos. They even went so far as to ban me from having an NES for quite some time. Big mistake, I think it just fueled my desire to play video games. I never had too many action figures growing up, although I watched Transformers, He-Man, etc. I also read a lot of comic books, mainly Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the old Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse and Carl Barks Donald Duck reprints.
Nowadays I wish that I still had that guidance pushing me at times.. I'm a creative sort, but I just don't feel all that energized/motivated to experiment with stuff all that often.
