This may or may not be a good thing, as I think my misanthropic hermit tendencies started around 1977. I chose toys that I distinctly remember playing with or seeing advertised on Saturday morning TV. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed researching it, although I feel like I should take a Geritol now. The cute little beaver in the thumbnail is something called a Critter Sitter, and they were all over notebooks, Trapper Keepers and pocket folders throughout my elementary education. I had a few, and I’m pretty sure I had Mr.
Beaver here on a folder in the third grade. Let’s start with some of the toys that didn’t have long-term lasting effects on my self-image, physical or mental health, shall we? Pound Puppies I seem to recall there being Critter Sitter stickers, too, but don’t quote me on that. Pound Puppies were plush dogs that came in a package that looked like a doghouse.

Pound Puppies, like Cabbage Patch Kids, could be officially “adopted” and named by their owners. They were also incredibly squishy and covered in super soft velour-esque fabric. I was a little old for these when they debuted, but I had one on my bed that made a fine pillow.
My younger cousin had what I remember as dozens of these. Mini Stand-Up Arcade GamesĮveryone I knew wanted one of these tiny video games around 1984. In addition to Frogger, Sega put out similar games for Pac Man, Ms. I had the Donkey Kong, and I played it until it broke. The only issue with these is the joystick.
