Flog It Blog It, The Cabbage Patch Kids R Back!

Molly The Wally Goes Retro!

The Cabbage Patch Kids R Back!


Speaking of all things retro, the children's craze from yesteryear is staging a comeback as the Cabbage Patch Kids return to our high street stores.This summer will see the revival of the 80s toy craze, as a whole new generation of Cabbage Patch children will be born. The return of the hideous, big headed, Chuckie lookalike creations will be accompanied by a major new marketing campaign. Shock, horror they were ugly enough last time and looked like they were suffering from a bad case of trapped wind. There was Teddy Ruxpin with his moving eyes and mouth that scared the living daylights out of me. Great time taking the cassette out and seeing how far I could run with the tape ribbon tied one end to the table and the other to my paw. What about the Tamogatchi? Be honest, you never fed it, so it died of starvation. Next it will be the dreaded ‘Beanie Babies’ with the endless new versions. They left the carpet looking like it had been struck by a major hail storm after I’d ripped them all to shreds. As for the Sylvanian Families that nearly ended tragically when I nearly choked on Walnut Squirrel. What about the Care Bear, who cares and don’t even mention the evil Furbies from hell? What was your retro most disliked toy?

Have some fun with BA and drive a plane down your street.  For those not in the UK Google an address and have some fun like 10 Downing Street SW1A2AA or try her Maj! At the link below.

  2. Aw I liked the care bears! I used to have this dumb toy that a computerized keychain of a rock or something and I had to keep it alive. It would beep when it needed food or water. So dumb.

    1. Hi Dip Bridge and Elliot and they were so horrible why did the little people like them so much. You got the stupid adoption certificate as well. Ugly little things. If I see one I'm going to buy it and see how long it takes me to disembowel it!

  4. Are they really bringing those ugly things back? Sorry to anyone who found them attractive. I remember the 80s craze, though not the specific year(s) they were so big. I was an adult, though, so it's not like I was vying for one at Christmas-time, which I remember people doing. Gaaggghhh.

  5. Cabbage Patch and Care Bears keep cycling. Nothing is as scary as those real looking baby dolls. One of Mom's little people relatives came and I kept smelling the thing thinking it was real, but it was plastic. She had a blankie, and she carried it everywhere, but it wasn't real!! It really creeped me out. Thankfully Katy has never experienced the horror of what Mom calls a baby doll.

  9. MIZ MOLLY, you not only wear many hats, but today you display a sweet little vest that shows another side to you.....TV SHOW HOST!!! Look at this display of horror here...I NEVER UNDERSTOOD the craze for these dolls or their "charm", but mostly what was puzzling was the MANIA of humans to trample on others to get the dang thing!!!

    My most hated craze toy? The WII and the other TOYS that take childrens' attention away from their school work!

  14. Hey Molly!
    Wow, those patch dolls are creepy with a capital C! BOL. Care bears were boring and how about those annoying SMURFS?!? Too cute to be real. I agree with you totally. I have to say that Tickle Me Elmo actually made me wag... a little!

    1. Hi Sarge , yuk the Smurfs and we hated Papa Smurf most. Mind you the little rubber versions are worth a wee chew , that is about all they are good for.
      Unfortunately they have been resurrected as Team GB Olympics track and field clothes.
