Nostalgia kicks in

[gemfyre]

All of sudden I had the urge to look up pictures of 80's toys.

I can't find the Play Doh Flower Makin' Basket anywhere - anyone remember that?

I'm also thinking of a doll with moons and stars and a makeup wand thing, you dipped it in water and wiped it on her face and makeup appeared.

And animals that cried real tears (or am I hallucinating that one?)

And Nosey Bears!

I also had this thing that crushed ice so you could make your own sno cones, I hardly ever used it though.

Aww man, toys suck these days.

Hhaahah I had the flower makin basket! I also had the ice creamery one of that too - pity the "ice cream" was salty play doh...

I vaguely remember that doll you're talking about...

I remember the makeup doll. I think I remember there being a Barbie version of that doll.

The crying animal toys were Lost and Founds or similar?

YUP! I didn't have it, though.

"I'm also thinking of a doll with moons and stars and a makeup wand thing, you dipped it in water and wiped it on her face and makeup appeared."

Lil' Miss Makeup, perhaps?

"And animals that cried real tears (or am I hallucinating that one?)"

No, I think they were called "Lost ones" or something or other.

That's the one I was thinking of. I had it, and played with it constantly till I got a Lil' Miss Mermaid. They were these largish plump girly dolls with bountiful amounts of golden curly hair. Too cute.

And I had that snow cone device you mentioned. Can't remember the name but it was in the shape of a snow man and you'd take his hat off and put ice in his head and turn a handle on his back. Then you take the ice shavings out of his belly and squeeze a flavour on it from a little penguin. Tasted sooo good.

I LOVED my Lil' Miss Makeup. I still have her somewhere. ^_^ I didn't know they made a Lil' Miss Mermaid. :D

Yeah, she was basically the upper body of the Lil' Miss doll but she had a tail with shells and jewels on it. She also had things on her face and tail that would change colour when you dipped her in water. Oh and she sang. My one still works! Same battery all these years. My four year old neice thinks it's da bomb.
