| 1789 | Article | Hoju Koolander | That's a pretty great collection of "girl toys", some of which I had never seen before (Gorgeous Creatures, AHHHH!). Those action figure sized Disney Princess dolls sound like an awesome experiment. I thought it was great how in the later run of the TMNT figures we finally got those Irma, Vern and Burne figures. I'm surprised they didn't come with mutant creature heads to dress them in for battles with Shredder. Very cool Pizazz costume too. The Misfits were way more fun than Jem and The Holograms, less glamour, more attitude! @Vaporman87 We definitely need to do a retro Halloween costume contest next year, don't you think? | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 14, 2015 | |
| 1787 | Article | Vaporman87 | Those 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). | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 12, 2015 | |
| 1788 | Article | pikachulover | It looks like your Moondreamer doll is wearing a dream tail in her hair. I have an old Crystal doll from childhood that could use some outfit replacement parts. Popcorn Pretties are an obscure toy line that seems to have gotten over shadowed by the Cupcake dolls. People mistake them for Cupcake dolls. I never owned one of those smaller Disney Princess dolls. I had a few of the bigger Barbie sized ones, but I also wanted the smaller ones. Although I think this is when the princess franchise as a whole really came to be. Ms. Heavenly Hippo for some reason reminded me of Henrietta Hippo from New Zoo Revue. I like the pig doll. It's cute. I should be drawn to it my mom collects pig items. It seems anamorphic dolls don't seem to be popular after the recently ill fated Pinkie Cooper dolls. | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 13, 2015 | |
| 1792 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Hoju: Indeed. I'm not sure what we're being this year. The wife hasn't laid down the law on that yet, LOL. But definitely we need a forum thread just for costume pics and discussions! | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 14, 2015 | |
| 1848 | Article | MissM | @Vaporman, thank you for the tip with the blow dryer! I have heard that tip before but I have always been scared to try it for fear of melting the paint or whatever. I am going to try it though and see how it works! That's also cool that you got a MOC Roboto too. I did get a lot of the new MOTUC figures as well this year. That's a whole other discussion though. lol It was a good year for MOTUC. I also like what you had to say about MoonDreamers being like a cross between Jem and Strawberry Shortcake. There is an outrageous and wild sense of style about them. @pikachulover, that is indeed a dream tail in her hair! It came with the loose doll, I was so thrilled! I liked the dream tails on this line and the hair clip ins with Lady Lovely Locks. Popcorn Pretties are a pretty obscure line, so are the Wee Wild Things which is another line that I just love. Popcorn Pretties are similar to Cupcake dolls, except they were more compact and a little more fun. Though I do like Cupcake Dolls. I hope you are able to one day come across some of the smaller Disney Princess dolls. They are so much fun! And I agree, the Disney Princess franchise really grew out of the items from that time. And that's right! Pinkie Cooper dolls did not do so well. I forgot about those. I still see some at Toysrus but yeah, they kinda crashed and burned. @Hoju Koolander, thank you! It was a nice year for girl toys for sure. I loved the other figures from that wave with Irma too! It was so nice to see them made, even if it was at the end and I could never really find them at the time. And thanks for the comment on the Pizzazz costume. I really really wanted to do that costume proud. The Misfits are by far my favorite from that show. Hope all is well y'all! | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 27, 2015 | |
| 1849 | Article | Vaporman87 | To be honest, I'm not sure what effect there might be on old paint, but I would think that as long as you're not getting it TOO hot, the paint should be okay. You might avoid putting too much pressure on the paint with your fingers, just to be safe. | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2014! | Jan 28, 2015 | |
| 1790 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Sounds like you had a pretty awesome older brother to hook you up with fast food and talk radio. My dad and I tuned into "El Rushbo" and "Art Bell" through many travels in the car while snacking on junk food (I WASN'T skinny UNTIL high school). I think the best part of your story is that your family really made the day about you. All your favorite activities were crammed into one massive celebration. Very cool. | My 6th Birthday Party | Jan 14, 2015 | |
| 1791 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. I agree with Hoju. It was nice that in the end, they had you on their minds the whole time. You just didn't know it yet. Yeesh, if I could count how may times I had to listen to Rush Limbaugh in our vehicle, it would blow your mind. LOL. I prefer Wilkow now to Rush, but back in the day, Rush was THE voice on the radio if you were conservative. I REALLY don't like Hannity. He annoys the crap out of me. I'd listen to Thom Hartman (big lib) before I would listen to Hannity. LOL. Actually, I kind of enjoy listening to Thom Hartman even though I am arguing with him through my radio most of the time. He's intelligent and makes a good case for his incorrect political views ;). | My 6th Birthday Party | Jan 14, 2015 | |
| 1793 | Article | comic_book_fan | yeah they were just making it a surprise. they figured making me go to school that day gave them time to set it up and get all the presents they figured it would make me appreciate it more and they were right that's the biggest reasons i remember it so well. even though i found rush boring i listen to him sometimes and go to wendy's at around the same time we would go when i was a kid. anybody else noticed that wendy's food quality has went down hill over the last few years. | My 6th Birthday Party | Jan 15, 2015 | |
