Toys of the 1908's!

Eighties toys facinate me!  They look so much cuter and they have much more clever concepts than the less cool toys of today.  The Wuzzles™ were toys based on a cartoon by Disney.  Two animals in one cute little animal.  Bumblelion™ was a lion and a bumble bee.  Eleroo™ was an elephant and a kangaroo.  Hoppopotamus™ was a hippo and a bunny!  They are much cuter and more original than most of the stuffed animals of today.  

Barbie™ has changed a lot over the years.  One Barbie™ that Mattel made during the 80's was Troll Barbie™ which came with a mini lucky troll on a necklace with interchangable hair.  You could also stick the hair on Barbie™'s hair!!  I like the older Barbies™ better because the outfits are much more childlike and whimsical than today's Barbies™ which are more adult-like and have on WAY TO MUCH MAKEUP!!!  Like the Candy Glam Barbie™ dolls which look like Bratz™ mixed with Barbies™!!! 

My faaaaaavorite 80's toy was Jem™ by Hasbro!!!!  Good job, Hasbro!!  Jem™ was very "out there" and very bright pink!  I like the concept of the cartoon, which transfers into the dolls.  Even her enemies, The Misfits™, were pretty cool.  You should see the dolls!!  I want one so bad because of the cartoon.

It's like I want every single toy that I can't have from the 80's.  Maybe they will bring them back and "improve" them, but they're never the same.  HAVE YOU SEEN RAINBOW BRITE™!!!!???
