Ah, the toys.
Jul. 26th, 2004 08:11 pmWent to Target this evening. Meandered down one aisle of the toy section that was, apparently, dedicated to my childhood--all in one place were assembled Care Bears, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, and even Polly Pocket. It was amazing, I tell you. Add in some Popples and a few baby dolls and you have my entire life from ages 1 to 9. And they're actually making the Ponies out of the same type of molds they did in the 80s, instead of those odd elongated things they had a few years ago. I was sorely tempted by the $4.99 beanie Care Bear, but decided that probably I don't need yet another stuffed animal to take up residence on either the top of my bookcase or my bed.

I can probably resist the ones at Target. There are still some originals I'd like to add to my collection, after all. My favorite in the bunch is still Apple Jack, but I need to get a Firefly and a few others.
My favorite was Lickety-Split, the original Teen Rebel Pony. ;) I also liked/had a bunch of the babies...and Gusty was cool...and I always liked the really cynical and depressing one, too, whatever her name was.
Aww, Goodwill? That's so sad. Luckily we kept almost everything (we're all such packrats).
Yeah--they got rid of everything. The ponies, all my little Fisher Price people, my Littlest Pet Shop stuff, the Quints stuff, various Barbie things (wasn't too sad to see them go), the million and one other kinds of horses I had, all my dolls...
