Whoa how scary. I remember a few of my ponies having issues like that years ago. Now I know why. Thanks for posting the link.

I had ponies as a child as well, but didn’t keep them. The rubber bodies got a strange feel to them and the hair turned greasy in a chemical way. They weren’t my favorite anyway.

I have fond memories of Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow. It’s a rather obscure toy, that is just weird enough to have lodged into my memory.

It had a little trough for water, pumping the tail made the cow drink eventually causing the head to raise up and Mooooooo when it was full and ready for milking. A little chalky tablet was placed inside the cow to make the water turn white when passing through the udder. When we ran out, we just replaced it with asprin.

Now that I’m looking at this again, it really is a strange toy. Were my parents conditioning me to join FFA and eventually work on a farm?

I still have a box of my My Little Ponys, along with my collection of Troll dolls ^_^

Alas, I no longer have my Littlest Pet Shop collection (the ones out today are just scary-looking, aren't they?). Wish I did. Along with my Puppy Surprise dog and puppies.

I had a stuffed toy of Mrs. Brisby from the Secret of NIMH that I absolutely loved because I was as obsessed with that movie as I am now with Slayers. Anyway, I stupidly gave it away and have regretted it ever since! She had a red cloak too.

A Mrs. Brisby doll? That is so cool! If you search, you might be able to find another one someday.

My favorite toys growing up were the Littleist Pet Shop and my Creepy Crawlers. My sister and I had a lot of Barbies and My Little Ponies, but I was more of a tom boy, so I stayed away from the Barbies. I loved anything that had to do with nature and animals so I spent more time outside than playing with toys. My favorite My Little Ponie was this orange sparkly one with pink hair. My little sister has some awesome Rainbow Brite toys too.

Some other memorable toys? My Pee Wee's Playhouse Playset, The Beetlejuice Playdough Barber Shop, Care Bears stuffed animals.

The great thing is, I still have all of it! Its all in our basement. I can't wait to clean it out this summer with my sister. I wish I could find my Inspector Gadget doll - my mom made for me from scratch and it was the first doll I had. I would always loose it in Meijer... I think it might be gone forever

All toys paled in comparison, though, when the SEGA GENESIS came out.

That is pretty cool, lol ^^. I didn't even know they'd made any toys from that.

Ah- I had that one too . Had a sun painted on it's backside I think. I wasn't really into ponies past the age of 6, but I did like the sparkly ones . My favourite was the dark green one with the rocket painted on her backside, I thought she was pretty cool .
