WITH THE TOY show tonight, we decided to have a look back at the toys we all knew and loved–and what horrors have been inflicted upon them ever since.
1. Polly Pocket
Who didn’t have a Polly Pocket, even if it was just a stray Polly figure they found lying on the ground. Ahem.
Look at her now! Where’s the pocket gone?
2. Power Rangers
Go go guys.
Now? They’re just menacing. We don’t want the red ranger any-more because he will probably kill us.
3. Furby
WEEEEEEEEEE. Yes, these nightmarish robots that had a nasty habit of flashing on, even after you’ve taken the batteries out. Shudder.
They look like this now. They’re diversifying, be afraid.
4. Hungry Hippos
Ah, it was a simpler time.
Now, they’re getting a lot hungrier…
5. Puppy in my pocket
Puppies… that fit in your pocket. A USP with endless potential in the toy market, it would seem.
They come in families now, and don’t sit on stupid pillows any-more. Perhaps an actual upgrade.
6. My Little Pony
There’s no place like pony-land.
They have WINGS now, would you be able?
7. Teenage mutant ninja turtles
Heroes in a half-shell, TURTLE POWER. Look at them there, so playful, so innocent.
Now? ARGH.
8. Gloworms
Well…
At least it looks less stoned.
9. Care Bears
The fluffy friends of our youth.
Now they look like they got some facial implants and it’s just all very upsetting.
