I remember when I was a kid my room was decorated in Rainbow Brite sheets and curtains. I loved her and little Twink!

What about Sheera Princess of Power, or Holly Hobby. Wow, what memories this thread has brought back.

What about Viewfinders? Anyone have those, the little binocular type toy that showed pictures?

Yah have you seen that VH1 show..I think its just called Toys. But they are all 80's toys for the most part. They had the viewfinder on there. Everytime we went on vacation I would get new filler slide-wheel things from our vacation spot.

I had rainbow brite sheets, bed spread, and pillowcase until high school

(so we never rushed out to get me new stuff). I remember I had to work hard for my pillow case though (I was 4)...I had to roll up the garden hose, pull the weeds, and a few other things. That was a hard-earned pillow-case!!

How about...whats her name? With pixies in her hair? Lady lovely-locks? And the doll came with removable pixies you could put in your hair?

I had a brown doggie named "Fudge"!!

I also had Popples, and a Viewfinder, and I was in LOVE with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (And no, that's not why I have cats named Leonardo and Raphael...

)

I just watched the Turtles the other day (couldn't sleep and infomercials were on) and they have really changed!! They no longer sound like the surfer guys.
Weird. But they're still around.

I remember the Pound Puppies song, "Pound puppies, you're my one and only. Pound puppies, you're my one and only. Pound puppies, you're my one and only puppy looooooove."

Cause Donnie and Marie were not "HIPPIE" like the rest,according to my parents. Lot of good that did!!It may have been what turned me into a "headbanger"!

Then I need to get some more cats. I need a Michelangelo, a Donatello and...a Shredder.

When I was little, my dad ran over my Michelangelo action figure (he was the orange one, right?) with the lawn mower...I don't feel that I have fully recovered from teh trauma of that incident.

You need a Krang too.

Poor Michelangelo!
