Ok so Robot Chicken was on my tv (on mute while studying) and I happened to look up and saw a short feature involving the Fisher Price Little People and was like OMG I REMEMBER THOSE! Do you guys remember these????? Now I cannot remember if I personally had them or if my little cousins had them and I just played with them (that happened a lot) but it doesn't matter...I loved them!!! I don't think I have ever seen the dog one, but the two on the outside definitely were in the collection! I wonder if they sell these anymore. I miss old school toys man! So this just made me go on a hunt for some of my favs from back in the late 80s and 90s.
Do yall remember this one too?
I actually saw this along with other old school toys in Target a few months ago and they are actually advertising them as "Classics from Yesterday for Kids of Today". You may not be able to see it in the picture above, but its in the lower left corner of the box.
I would so buy them for my kids if I had any. Maybe I will stock up for my godbabies! They had other toys like the gumball machine and this piano too.
Some toys I remember having and loving are my American Girl paper dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids (ummm which I still have my Rebecca-Arianne in my storage), Pogs (though now I think they were dumb), andViewMaster (see right). Last, but not least are my Barbies! Not these retarded re-makes though, the real Barbie. I guess Barbie looked too real so now she looks like a cartoon. I just love seeing things from the past that create HAPPY memories don't you?
What are some childhood toys you remember playing with that you loved?
Baby Chrissy who sits in my bedroom with the growing hair that my mom bought for me when I was 12, BUT kept on HER bed unless company was coming over (couldn't get caught with a doll on her bed! lol,
ReplyDeletePolly Puff who had multiple surgeries from her "tomboy" stage at my grandmother's home who also lives in my bedroom still,
