I'm down to my final batch of retro week shots: up these time are a variety of mini figures. There's never much to say about these guys, so let's get on with the photos!
|
A pair of ETs. |
|
An axe-wielding Smurf |
.
|
Mickey Mouse with a magic wand. |
.
|
A relaxed Wish Bear |
.
|
A pair of Cabbage Patch Kids |
.
|
A Monchichi flying ace. |
And that's it! One thing I did find but didn't have a chance to photograph was the box of old Kinder Surprise toys - I'll have to add that to my list for the next visit.
The wish bear is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy on his fluffy cloud, isn't he? ;)
DeleteThe E.T. dressed in women's clothing is the best! I was just thinking AGAIN about E.T. as "the Easter Bunny" brought me a big bag of Reeces Pieces that I've been munching on all week. I love the Wish Bear as well! We must be close to the same age as most of these figures look familiar to me as well. ;)
ReplyDeleteHeh, if you had the same toys, we must be the same generation! :)
DeleteI think that we must not have gotten the same amount of tie-in advertising as you guys in the US did, because I remember it being a big argument at school at the time: did ET eat Reeces, Smarties, or M&Ms? LOL.
I watched E.T. in 1982...But since I was 9 for some weird reason it just didn´t affect me like other movies at the time. I have much more fondness for a movie like Altered States than I do E.T. I have no idea why.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember liking it at the time (I think I was 8), but I didn't have much attachment to it. I think that might be because they didn't do a VHS release for years so it wasn't burned into my brain by multiple viewings like the Star Wars movies were (or The Secret of NIMH - I don't know why that one didn't have more merchandise).
DeleteLOL, I don't know why but that axe wielding smurf is tickling my funny bone.
ReplyDeleteHe does look a little like he could have come out of a Smurf's parody, doesn't he? ;)
DeleteOh my so many little cuties, they are al so sweet in their own way, but I do love the bear!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Thanks! :)
DeleteI have the Cabbage Patch cowboy figurine as well!
ReplyDeleteIn that case you need to imagine this one waving at his twin in your collection! ;)
DeleteThese are cute and really take me back!!!
ReplyDeletex
Feel the nostalgia! ;)
DeleteThese take me back ... I remember those carebear ones, I probably had a few myself! And smurfs!
ReplyDeleteThey must have been pretty popular at the time, right? :)
