I had a younger friend who would spend hours playing with the things! Has anyone noticed a complete resurgance in toys from the 80's... at Christmas I was in Toys R Us and saw Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Bright, Cabbage Patch dolls, My Little Ponies... these toy designers must be running outta ideas! Don't get me wrong I love seeing all the old toys I knew as a kids being introduced to a new generation and I guess they're a lot better than this Pokemon crap coming out of Japan but damn...does anyone have any original ideas anymore?
