But I dunno, my brother and I really thought they were fun. Some were really gross though, and even to this day still kinda gross me out. But I love that there is going to be a book! I must have this book! And Mars Attacks was cool. I also loved Bazooka Joe. It is amazing I never got any cavities.

We thought they were funny and gross at the same time. And the Care Bears figures from Kenner were the best! I love them.<br /><br />My Thanksgiving was nice, I hope yours was too.

I always thought they were sort of "girl toys", so I didn't get one. I liked the little figures much more. I'm confessing now that I had a bunch of the Care Bears figures that were close to the same size. Kenner made those, they were awesome.<br /><br />What I really enjoyed, were the Garbage Pail Kids. I was NUTS over those things. I remember there was a convenience store about a half mile away from my house, and during the summer I would go around the house gathering up all the loose change I could find and ride my bike to the that store for Garbage Pail Kids cards. <br /><br />Someday I will have a pet named Cher Joy...that's too good. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving Miss M :)EightiesManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967723988561950450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-79425238601290983332012-11-27T08:17:52.526-06:002012-11-27T08:17:52.526-06:00Yes, I always found it funny that my friend had on...Yes, I always found it funny that my friend had one because she was more into playing with legos and g.i. joes than barbies or cpk dolls.
