Strawberry Shortcake Vintage 1992 THQ Berry Bake Shop Reissue ~ Toy-Addict

This is one of the neatest things that I have found lately.  It's a 1992 re-issue of the original Berry Bake Shop.  Kenner released this in 1982, and Toy Headquarters (THQ) released it in 1992.  The 1991-92 line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls was very limited and the dolls were very different but this is almost exactly the same as the original Bake Shop with just some sticker differences and some color differences.  In the video I link another video where I compare the vintage Berry Bake Shop to the brand new doll & oven set that they call the Berry Bake Shop.  Check that out too, so you can make your own comparisons.

Lady Lovely Locks Advertising Pamphlet & Video

By the time Lady Lovely Locks came around in 1986, I was already 10 and not looking to add any new types of dollies to my collection.  I did always think they were pretty and wished I had some of those Pixie Tails to put into my hair.

My Buddy and Me! ~ It's stuck in your head now, isn't it?

My Buddy and Kid Sister Dolls 1986

Thrift Shop Hustler put up an new video on YouTube, about My Buddy Dolls.  The video includes the commercial, with that famous and catchy song.  He's got a good video with some fun information about the dolls.

It's 70's Week at Toy-Addict!! ~ VIDEOS

I guess it's 70's week over at my You Tube channel.  
I didn't realize that I was making all 70's videos, until I put up the Andy Gibb
video.  I guess I've been in a Disco mood lately!


This advertising booklet is HUGE!  At 64 pages, it's triple the
size you usually find these!  


I loved Andy Gibb in the 80's.  One of my watchers reminded me that
he was once married to Victoria Principal, fro Dallas.



Cher had some great outfits!
Sonny's were just okay!  I wonder how many people actually bought
a Sonny Bono doll?


I didn't really watch this show.  I was more into The Bionic Woman!
I wish this thing also had that famous bionic sound effect.

Everyone Loves Garfield! ~ Wards 1983 Christmas Catalog


I remember having a garfield pajama, stuffed toys, and I saved up one year and bought myself a Garfield phone.  Remember those?  The ones where his
eyes opened and closed when you picked up the receiver?  It was a bad phone.  You could always hear the radio much louder than the caller.  My brother broke it like a month after I got it.  That was like 40 hours of babysitting money down the toilet.






The underwear picture is weird for a kids section.

Tressy & Cricket American Character Booklet 1966 Scans ~ VIDEO



Tressy dolls had hair that could shorten and lengthen by turning a knob
on her torso.  Well, not really a knob.  She had a key to put in and turn.  She had a lot of cute outfits, but I think it would be really hard to find these outfits based on their pictures in this little catalog.  The only Tressy things I have found have not been tagged, so I don't know how you would find them.
