Mostly Retro Toys

I personally have mostly original and repro 80s and 90s toys but this blog is now expanding to toys of other decades too. I mainly focus on traditional so-called “girl” toys since that is what I played with as a child and I’m interested in though I may include other toys as well.

the thing is that for all its supposed faults, i would take this brand of 90s utopian globalism over whatever the fuck we’ve been doing for the last 10 years in a heartbeat

Kids' book from the 1940s, with built-in flip book!

The rest of the format (one page of text, one with an illustration + overall size) reminds me of my beloved "Great Illustrated Classics" series I had when I was 7 or 8. But I could also swear that somewhere in my childhood library was a book or two with a little corner flipbook like this...

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

[bunjywunjy]

hnn I WANT IT SO BAD

[bunjywunjy]

on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!

IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

[bunjywunjy]

now we enter the testing phase

yup. looks good.

Extreme Chompin T-Rex says IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

[digitaldiscipline]

Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?

[bunjywunjy]

OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement

[bunjywunjy]

I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!

(just fine)

Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures

OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card

[bunjywunjy]

Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)

[bunjywunjy]

so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.

[bunjywunjy]

it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!

ajdhf.

well that’s just,,,

REXCELLENT

[bunjywunjy]

Nearing on 375K Notes!!! What in the Paleolithic are y'all gonna do when they top 400K?!

[bunjywunjy]

[splendentgoddess]

Reblogging to get you one note closer to crossing the 400k mark!

[subbyboymax]

IT’S TIME

[bunjywunjy]

HAIL TO THE QUEEN

[bunjywunjy]
