Childhood toy

[Saintandy666]

I saw something recently about the amount of adults who are meant to be keeping their one main cuddly toy thingy from their childhood(and I know I still have my one from when I was 2!). I was just wondering how many people here still have theres.

 

Mine is called Doggy. It's a Dog. I had such imagination back then.

large leopard called larry

rabbit called thumper

Didnt have a cuddly toy no.

 

However, on the topic of childhood toys, a lot of the toys I grew up with are worth a lodda money now.

 

Things like Boglins, Garbage Pail Kids stickers, Monster in My Pocket, Micro Machines etc etc etc

When my children were born, my mother's very close friend made each of them a teddy. She then 'unmade' them, washed the outsides and re-stuffed them many years later.

 

My grandchildren now play with those bears

I don't personally, as everything I had was handed down to my sister, but my missus still has a penguin called Noel that she received when she was about 10.

Teddy Felix. A large white bear. One of his eyes hangs out now. I should get him fixed.

I had a Gollywog named Gollywog, I used to use him to polish my school shoes as he was the same colour and the black shoe polish didn't effect his appearance.

I think they are banned these days.

i don't think the dolls themselves are banned, just the use of the name gollywog............it's just 'golly' or 'golly doll' now..........:smt011

I remember when you would get gollywog stickers on Robertson's jam which you could save up and exchange for gollywog badges which you would then wear with pride. Innocent days.

i only wish i were............tis a sad reflection of our ridiculously over-PC society.............
