Not near as scary as Teddy Ruxpin - My Pet Monster! My younger daughter Jenny wanted this and her Uncle Paul came through and gave it to her for Christmas one year. Lots of blue plush, complete with horns, painted nails (!), lots of teeth and a bulbous nose - what's not to like?
Later it turned out she really wanted it for
the handcuffs so she could play murder squad!
She still has him 30 years later,
he sits on her closet shelf.
That's enough to give a child nightmares! I'm glad I'm not the only who has saved their childhood toys... I've still got many, but my fave is a 5 ft. long snake named Sammy :)
ReplyDeletebobbie - Funny what we loved as kids! And how much we still love those favourite toys.

Oh my how your post took me back! I had totally forgotten about this but my boys had one too! Great memories, thank you.
ReplyDeleteDiva - There's just something about these classic toys, instant memory rush!
