Toys R me


When I was a little girl, I had some very special toys. I have managed to keep a good many. Sans the ones my father either gave to my sisters or directly threw away. 

I have pined away for years over some of these toys and the nagging need to hunt eBay for them is time consuming. So I thought, why not post them here. That way I can claim virtual ownership, and just maybe, feel some closure.

I had all the Crissy dolls. ALL of the important first 4. Crissy, Velvet, Mia and Kerry.
 The ones that came after them, well, they're for losers .....so :-p




This is Crissy and her sister Velvet.











Had em both.

The ORIGINAL ones who's hair 'grew' all the way to their feet.
Not the subsequent stupid versions who's hair went to their stupid hips. 
Stupid Ideal Toy company.
I had Mia and Kerry too. Mia had looong blonde hair and Keri had brown.

The little one at the top is about 1 inch total. Little Kiddles. Had a bunch. I have 2 left. If someone tried to play with them, I might get medieval on them. That one is Violet. She came in a purple perfume bottle and smelled like violets for YEARS. I mean like, 20 years.


This is the Barbie "Friend Ship" airplane. Had it.

I was never a big barbie fan, but I LOVED my Kiddles and Dawn Dolls. I had every single one of the Dawn Dolls in this picture. All the accessories, all the clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. I LOVED these.

All the Barbies, Kiddles and Dawn Dolls used to board the Barbie Airplane together. With Luggage and pets. Barbies and Dawns came with dogs.

Then there would be a horrible crash and only the Kiddles and Dawns would survive. Barbie bit the dust everytime. My dad gave away the barbies, but I NEVER let the kiddles and the dawns out of my sight so I still have some.

This is the Fisher Price castle. Had it. LOVED it. I still have the Pink Dragon. He was the most important part for me. I was so bummed that my dad gave this one away, that I bought it back off of Ebay. I have it now and some of the people. Plus one extra pink dragon. Now I have two pink dragons. I've been hoping they would reproduce.
