I wonder how many shag pile carpets had to be replaced after some adorable little dungaree-wearing tot projectile vomited purple Kool Aide after a session on that demented toy?
They brought Pound Puppies back a couple years ago. Anyway, back in the 80's I had a black and white spotted one and my brother had a brown one.
I remember when Cabbage Patch dolls were the shit and I asked for one for Christmas but they were sold out...well, I didn't know that they were that hard to find because I was like 8...my parents got me a knockoff doll and I was sort of happy but when I brought her to school I got teased a bit. The real ones had writing on their butt. Mine didn't. It was very similar but had a weird nose. After that year I didn't even care about it anymore though so whatever.
My ultimate toy that I wanted was the Barbie dream pool. I still want that thing. I tore a picture of it out of a catalog and would carry it around looking at it all day. I lost the picture so I went around asking people if they had any catalogs. I ended up finding one but a while later my dad got annoyed with me for staring at it and he snatched it from me and lit it on fire.
Remenber 1980s commercials?

Yes, or sit-n-spin, or Teddy Ruxpin, or pound puppies. 1980s toys and their popular 1980s commercials which are now decades gone.

i knew someone who sold industrial pneumatic fittins made by a company called cleco
when the cabbage patch dolls were big they got calls all the time from people lookin for em because the doll manufacturer was coleco
no that was the ad for tetris
maybe early 90s now that i think bout it
