| 4384 | Article | OldSchool80s | @pikachulover Sounds like that could be an interesting angle for a story. | May 09, 2018 |  | |
| 2066 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Of course you do! If your collection ever goes up on eBay I'll be the first in line to snag your Phroompf doll and those booklets at a "reasonable price". @Vaporman87 That's a good point. From my research there was a Napoleon figure in the Bill and Ted line that never actually made it to store shelves. Not that the kids were really clamoring to get a tiny dictator to re-enact historical battles with. @NLogan Leave it tour resident detective to pull this one out. I was actually going to mention that in the article, but I figured 2 paragraphs was more than enough for a toy line most of us ignored. It is hilarious though. Mattel pulled a similar stunt when they repurposed a bunch of The New Adventures of He-Man toys for the Demolition Man figures a few years later. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '91 | Mar 07, 2015 | |
| 4385 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Nope, never saw a Lakers or Clippers game as a kid. Though Shaq did have action figures made by Kenner, so you would think he could have gotten my allegiance that way. His best bet would have been to make a cartoon show like ProStars. | Retro Magazine RoundUp: Sports Illustrated 1994 | May 09, 2018 | |
| 1796 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover My wife seconds your comment about the big glasses. I guess since that was kind of a unisex style, I never associated it with just women's fashion. But Annie Potts as Jeanine in Ghostbusters is one great example of it. @vaporman87 Hey, at least your Dad will have some bartering power in the post-apocalyptic world. What will YOU have...Moss Man mint in package?! j/k | Women's Fashion of the 80s | Jan 15, 2015 | |
| 4547 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover It's well documented that you and I had very similar experiences growing up, I guess it should be no surprise we had identical bedding. If it were socially acceptable I probably would have worn that Punky Brewster shirt as well. @Benjanime Makes sense, a Pound Puppy is a pet for life! | 10 Pop Culture Dogs of the 80s | Sep 06, 2018 | |
| 1339 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover I was Goofy, The Genie, Woody, Baloo, Brer Bear, Mr. Incredible, Kronk and my favorite, the Queen of Hearts. My version of the Queen was quite a diva. | A Haunting Experience | Sep 27, 2014 | |
| 1841 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover I loved Today's Special! "Hocus Pocus Alamagocus..." Muffy wasn't quite as memorable to me as Sam the Security Guard or Jeff the Mannequin, but it's awesome that you gave a generic stuffed toy some star power by associating it with the show. | Stuffed Animals of the 80's | Jan 26, 2015 | |
| 4208 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover I knew you'd have my back on this one. Yep, KCOP Channel 13 was where I watched almost all of these cartoons, with the exception of the Marvel Action Universe, which played on KTLA Channel 5. Although I think the later version in the 90s called the Marvel Action Hour with Iron Man and Fantastic Four eventually played on KCOP. I'm blanking on Paw Paw Bears though. They look vaguely familiar, but I don't think I watched it. | SUNDAY Morning Cartoons | Nov 28, 2017 | |
| 2615 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover I have a vague recollection of the Pegasus fruit snack, but it's so weird that the brand doesn't ring any bells. It sounds like a fun fruit snack concept though. | Fruit Snacks | Sep 06, 2015 | |
| 1812 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover I guess I should have collaborated with you for more personal photographic evidence of the event. At least Gadget got her own ride once Toontown opened, what a tribute! I didn't remember the stamp on the map deal, sounds cool. I definitely was watching The Disney Afternoon on KCAL 9, I think I linked to that special. Was it the one with the Olsen Twins? @Vaporman87 I have found evidence on YouTube that Disney World had a Disney Afternoon stage show at Mickey's Starland, but no mention of the Avenue and ride conversions. @thecrow174 Another great observation. I guess futuristic surfboards aren't very fitting for the timeframe either, but they probably knew they had to give kids someone to identify with, despite looking like he came from a totally different series. | The Disney Afternoon Revisited | Jan 18, 2015 | |
