Anyone remember Popples? I was obsessed with the one I had. Took it in the front basket on every bike ride.

I’ve slowly been building out my Popple collection as a childless adult haha. I had two as a kid, and now I’ve got ten in varying sizes and styles (one sports, one baby Bibsy, and both rockstar Popples!)

DaughterOfTheKing87@reddit

I did have this same Popple!! I tried to talk my kid into wanting one when she was little after I found an “unused” one on eBay. Now my kid is a teen, I’m kinda glad I didn’t get it because I can remember also hiding little liquor bottles in my Popple when I got to be a teen. Perfect hiding spot.

I had a big blue popple. I loved that thing. And weirdly a regular ol goose puppet. That had a lil tab on its tongue that when you opened it it would honk and, ya know, make goose noises. When we moved a few states over my mother didn’t know that I loved the weird honking goose noises that puppet would make every time she turned out the lights. When we moved I looked for it. Box after box unpacked, and no goose. I only learned later she had gotten rid of it before the move. I’m still kinda sad. lol.

Yes!🤣 there was a movie! I had a flashback to it and decided to type it up yesterday to see if it was on the net and it is! Its on dailymotion .Its called Wrinkles:In Need of Cuddles from 86. When I was little I remember renting it at the local video store and watching it with my parents. so cute! Its only around 30 minutes long so its not a full length movie as my kid brain rememberd 😂 I want to say too that that is such a sweet and adorable memory with your Grandma!🥰

When he was about to become a dad for the first time I went on ebay and found the same one he had as a child. I gifted it to him in a carseat at his baby shower. It was a good surprise.

rarepinkhippo@reddit

Oh man, this thread is taking me back. I definitely cherished my Pound Puppies, Care Bears (and Care Bear Cousins — the green lamb was my favorite along with Bedtime Bear), Popple (I had the white one with yellow hair and a blue stomach), Rainbow Brite horse and sprite dolls, Glo Worm, etc.

I also loooved a niche toy named LeMutt, a plush dog who wore train-conductor overalls and looked remarkably like a Labradoodle or Goldendoodle years before they took over suburban America lol.

I desperately wanted a Teddy Ruxpin but never got one — those must have been $$$, or else hard to find, because I DID get the ridiculous knockoff version called A.G. Bear, who didn’t speak and didn’t accept tapes, and his mouth didn’t move, but he DID have some sort of rudimentary technology that let him repeat back some metallic-robot version of the syllables you were saying. So if you said “hi A.G. Bear,” he’d go “rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr!” In retrospect, I love him more because he’s infinitely more absurd and could ONLY have happened in the ‘80s.

saison257@reddit

Magic Nursery dolls. Kinda like Cabbage Patch kids but different. You couldn't tell if you were getting a boy or a girl - there was a card wrapped in dissolvable paper that would tell you if it was a boy or a girl after you dissolved it. You could also put a warm washcloth over their eyes and the eyes would "close", and if you kissed their cheek, a little heart appeared - it was a thermal thing kinda like the coffee mugs we have now that have messages that show up when the mug heats up.

Anyway, I had 2 of these and loved them!

[-]

spanishpeanut@reddit

Yes!!! I remember I was desperate to get a boy but wound up with girls. There was also a thing where a card could say “twins” and you’d mail it in for a second doll.

[-]

Wendy-Windbag@reddit

I had a friend spend $300 for one off of eBay a few years back so she could re-live this with her daughter. OF COURSE the inside card said "TWINS" which 30 years later was good for nothing. Apparently the odds for twins was 1 in 36.

[-]

That’s insanely low. Ha. Funny that it said twins, though. I’d be contacting the seller asking for the sibling.

rarepinkhippo@reddit

Oh man, I’m so sorry! I didn’t have this particular guy (he’s super cute though), but definitely have been confused as to where some of my favorite toys went, and my partner definitely had almost all of his favorite childhood things yard-saled. In my case, my mom gradually produced some boxes of stuffed animals, some of which I was really attached to and some I barely remembered, but my Rainbow Brite toys, Cabbage Patch doll, etc., seem to have mysteriously vanished (maybe my mom gave them for someone else’s yard sale or something, I know she never held her own).

I know it wouldn’t be the same, but have you considered finding one on eBay?

Alvin the Chipmunk. Was a gift for my first Christmas. I slept with that thing well into high school.

Yup. It was picking up wireless phone calls. I remember so clearly this man was badgering my neighbors to sell their house to him because they were lesbians and “didn’t belong in the neighborhood”. It was the first time I realized how hateful people could be.

My Mom came in and was shocked that it was picking up the call. I was 6, my sister 4, and she left us home alone for the first time to go check on Terri and Diane. They were great neighbors and I regularly played with their daughter.

I had ALL of those except the My Buddy’s but I wanted them SO badly and my fam of assholes never got them for me. (Idk what that monster looking thing was, guess I don’t remember it?) I actually still had my Teddy Ruxpin and my Pound Puppy dolls, basically the only two things from my childhood that survived, up until last year when I took my kid and escaped my abusive soon-to-be-ex-husband, leaving all my belongings behind and I’ve yet to been able to retrieve anything. So, I doubt seriously if I still have my Teddy or Puppy. I did learn later in adulthood Dad’d refused to buy me a My Buddy or Little Sister doll because it reminded him too much of the Chucky dolls. Yeah, my dad’s a bit of a prick but he also knew I’d try to replace my actual younger brother with the doll. Funny tho, neither of us acknowledge or have spoken to the brother in more than a decade. He could’ve saved us both some trouble years ago just getting me the doll.

[-]

wooq@reddit

My favorite was a Cabbage Patch "Koosa" which were animal Cabbage Patch Kids, and you could send away for a label to put on their collar with the name of your choice. My mom got it for me when my dad was in the hospital with gallstones. I also loved my Popples, which were stuffed animals you could turn into a ball. One time I was playing catch with my grandma with my big white Popple and we broke a piece of their chandelier in the living room. Grandma glued it back together and we promised to not tell grandpa so he wouldn't get mad. When I was afraid of the dark, I'd set up my stuffed animals around the edge of my bed to protect me while I slept.

These things and hell yeah we did. Also Cabbage Patch, Gloworm, Raggedy Andy, and Bedtime Care Bear. And a stuffed cheetah I got from a zoo, that was my favorite. I also had a giant teddy bear that a great aunt made for me. We never really got along, too stiff and scratchy.

Cabbage Patch doll! Mine showed up as a boy named Quincy, wasn't a fan of the name and my older sister told me I couldn't change it 😭 . I grew up realizing that she was extra mean to me, now we get along.

devour_feculence___@reddit

My mom was into sewing and she refused to buy me any brand name dolls, so she made me homemade Pound Puppies, Cabbage Patch, and Rainbow Bright dolls. Complete with elaborate clothing and hair.

They were really good. I appreciated them, took them everywhere with me, but in the back of my mind, I wondered if we were poor. Years later I realized we were NOT poor, and she just enjoyed doing homemade things.

Pound Puppies all the way. They had so many different sizes too. I wanted the newborn ones because they were tiny. I loved the cartoon.

CaTz_EyE@reddit

I had a Teddy Ruxpin when I was little. When I was in kindergarten, I ended up in the hospital with a concussion from playing Duck Duck Goose, and I brought Teddy with me.

While I was sleeping, the nurses took him. I woke up and panicked when he wasn’t there, then went to the nurse’s station in tears and found them playing with him. They laughed and told me he was lonely and walked out to see them.

I know they probably thought it was cute, but I was so upset. It took me a while to trust nurses after that.

The concussion happened because a kid named Charlie cheated and changed directions while chasing me after I tapped his head and said “goose.” He slammed into me, and I hit my head on the tile floor.

Cabbage Patch Kids, I had around 10. My little pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Rose Petal and Friends, Holly Hobby, that little mermaid doll with her baby and they came with a floating sponge. Care Bears, Rainbow Bright, Polly Pocket, matchbox cars, my brother's Star War action figures from the 70s. Jem, Skipper was my favorite Barbie... I had about 5 different types.

I still have a huge collection of old school c.1980s/early 90s Care Bears, Pound Puppies, Rainbow Bright (stuffies not action figures), ShirtTales (if anyone else remembers the ShirtTales, I'd love to commiserate, most the time I bring them up people think I'm crazy!).

Also loved Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony (the OG ones, not the goofy big eyed reboot ones), Voltron, and He-man/She-ra. The Real Ghostbusters cartoon (the REAL ones, with Peter, Egon, Ray, Winston, Janine, etc, as opposed to that rip off Ghostbusters show that was forever showing up at the same time).

Man, I played with a ton of dolls and built entire worlds in my parents' basement so I could pickup my epic plot line later. I was an only child til I was 11, so I had a ton of imaginary friends, too. I wish my imagination was still that incredible..I could use an imaginary world that was less fucked than this one!

I got a Raggedy Ann for Christmas of ‘79. She was a big one, and I was only 18 month or so old, so I swapped clothes with her and promptly passed out cuddled up with her on the floor.

The pink Care Bear and Glow Worm. I still have both!

I had Care Bears. These days, I have a Stitch, a Scrump, and a Squirtle. I also still hold onto a toy triceratops that my in-laws got me during a hospital stay in 2019. I named him Turvy, because he's triceratopsy-turvy. My kid got me a stegosaurus toy about a year ago because it's our favorite dinosaur.

I think it's important not to give up all of the wonder of childhood.

Writing this has made me decide that I need to go to the zoo sometime this week.
