1787ArticleVaporman87Those MoonDreamers remind me of a mix of Jem and Strawberry Shortcake! As though Strawberry decided to take on Jem's style. I recall my sister owning the Pie Man figure, and that being the only one I would actually play with if I joined her. She also owned a bunch of 2 or 3 inch figurines that fit into a case that resembled a tree, or something like that. I think we actually played more with those than the regular line. As far as "Gorgeous Creatures" goes, I have a feeling they would be popular these days. Seems like it's a big thing to be into anthropomorphic animals... and not always in a good way. Yeesh. On Mermista's feet... have you tried using a hair dryer to heat them up, then hold them in position while they cool? That might help some. I actually did that with some of my old Read Along Records that had warped from being in storage. It worked pretty well. Glad you were able to shore up your collection this past year Miss M. About the only retro figure I picked up this year was a MOC Roboto. Everything else I got was from newer lines (MOTUC, Sideshow Collectibles, etc). Jan 12, 2015View
4405ArticleVaporman87Those Masters of the Universe tees may have been iron-ons. Perhaps that's why they are so elusive online. They look like iron-ons in the photographs. You sir, had impeccable style in your youth.Awesome 80's T-ShirtsJun 12, 2018View

4953ArticlejkatzThose little golden books used to be EVERYWHERE...I know they're mostly an 80s/90s thing but I remember reading them in elementary school in the early 2000s. I think they've all but disappeared now. Temple of Retro ToysJun 07, 2019View
3134ArticlepikachuloverThose gumball machines and novelty phones were usually a prize on those 80s and early 90s kids game shows like Double Dare. My family didn't have any of those things. My aunt had a clear phone and another cousin on my other side of the family had one. When I was a kid I always wanted a gumball machine. 3 Essential 80s Home Decor ItemsNov 28, 2015View

2602ArticleVaporman87Those Fun Fruits truly were as good as it gets as far as taste, and the commercials were all very memorable and catchy. But man, those Garfield shapes... how did they do that? You don't see anything like that anymore on store shelves... not in a fruit chew form anyway. As far as Gushers, I did like them a lot, but like you I kind of preferred my chews without the slimy goo in the middle. I liked the texture and taste of the "Fruit Roll Up" style Fun Fruits.Fruit SnacksSep 04, 2015View
1001ArticleVaporman87Those are some great Valentines cards Miss M. I would have been satisfied with just about all of them (though I was never big on Tiny Toons, my brother was more into them than I). And I especially like the attention to detail put into your card box. That is one fancy piece of work. This cracked me up: "I was essentially a fart: no one wanted anything to do with me." Still chuckling over that one. I hope your V-Day has been a great one Miss M. And thank you for all four of this series of articles on the holiday of love. For the Love of V-Day!
