Retro Toys!

One of my favorite local places to stop in every now and then is Planet Fun. It's a little store selling everything from Supermario Nintendo games to comic books and cabbage patch sheets! Here are my current favorites that remind me of yesteryear (or growing up in the 80s/90s)...

Yes these are Barbie poodles that of course, come in their own carrying purse!

Anyone remember Goosebumps?

The husband and I rented an episode at our local library last year and it was this same title- Night of the Living Dummy. It wasn't exactly how I remembered it, but it was still a bit scary and definitely fun to see the kids 90s fashions!


I'm still in awe over my little ponies! Oh the pastel candy colors...the glitter....the hair...and those lashes!!!




Upon searching my little ponies online (because I just had to), I came across something pretty interesting...



Someone had modernized this beauty by taking the butt stamp they already had to a full on tattoo, complete with custom headpiece! (Image source here).

And just when did they go from bright- eyed to sultry-eyed??? I liken this transformation to the Bratz fashion dolls glitzified, sexified, lush-lipped reincarnation of classic Barbie.

Now for more pony highlights:
Remember any of these?

• Twinkle-Eyed Ponies (small rhinestones in their eyes)
• Twice-as-Fancy Ponies (patterns covering most of their body)
• Brush 'n Grow Ponies (longer than usual mane and tail that's stored inside the body). Huh???

Popples...what a cool concept with the thing folding up into itself. What kind of animal is it supposed to be anyway?? I guess just a "Popple". And who can forget those creepy cute trolls!

 Planet Fun is located at 23 E. Broughton St. downtown in Savannah, GA....and it's a must-see in my book!

What were some of your favorite toys or books growing up?
