Why are they so creepy? Why are they stupid?? What about those half animal/half human ones??

I too hate them. Those semi-Hentai halfanimal ones were disgusting. They're not cute, they're eerily inhuman, and dumb people (no names) still use them as one of those symbols of "cute" childishness. Fuckwits.

But surely it's okay, because there's Garbage Pail Kids.

There were half animal ones? I never even knew that! Now I'm completely weirded out. All of them were ugly and expensive and stupid. I had My Little Ponies.

Garbage Pail kids are also creepy, but I don't mind them as much. At least they're meant to be creepy.

There are half animal ones. They are horrible.

What sort of animals do they go halves with? Is it like cross-dressing Hello Kitty who thinks she's a duck?

also creepy and I think popular at the same time was glow-worms (?) they were hideous. I think they had some kind of baby aspect too...except they were wormy shape and glow-in-the-dark plastic

Glow-worms were not as bad as the glo-kids, who came later. A whole series of creepy glowing creatures. I think some of the Glow-worms you could squeeze and they'd light up. Also they had nightcaps. Toys are weird.

no wait it was glo-friends. not my friends.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 17 September 2002 11:20 (twenty-three years ago)

i used to hide under the house with my glo-friends. they rode around on a purple snail which my scary neighbours owned. anyone else noticed that these days lovable insects and colourful horses are no longer on the market, replaced with sluts with big heads?

― alex, Tuesday, 17 September 2002 12:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Diva Stars. You are right they are probably scarier. I don't like how their lips light up.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 17 September 2002 12:28 (twenty-three years ago)

What about DivaStar who embarks on a political venture? Even such an activist as her spins around and lights up and sings about dancing all around the world. And not even in a blerta kind of way. I'm scared of Diva Stars.

When I was younger I always wanted one of those dolls that smelled nice and when you flipped their dress over their heads they turned into cupcakes. I never got one though, possibly because of the minorly sexual undertones I just realised then. And yeah, Diva Stars and Cabbage patch Kids are both very frightening, as is anything which looks like a distorted human being.

Like me

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 18 September 2002 09:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, and isn't actually alive (link to zombie board now). You don't fit that criteria do you?

― Livvie, Wednesday, 18 September 2002 09:36 (twenty-three years ago)

You win this round

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 18 September 2002 09:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Argh, why are modern toys not even covert in their rampant consumerism these days? I mean at least Barbie had the whole Dr/astronaut/teacher pretext, DivaStars et al don't seem to do anything but lust over mall fashions [hazy world-saving subplots aside]! And don't even get me STARTED on fucking 'Shoezies'!

― petra jane (petra jane), Wednesday, 18 September 2002 10:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Shoezies, what a weird idea.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 18 September 2002 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

what

no seriously, what?

― webber (webber), Wednesday, 18 September 2002 13:11 (twenty-three years ago)

webber, they're shoes to put on your fingers and just collect inexplicably but obsessively the same way a girl's bored borgois mum would be expected by the marketers to collect real shoes. i do not understand shoes, let alone shoezies.

― alex, Thursday, 19 September 2002 10:46 (twenty-three years ago)

so like those skateboard things?
only... shoes?

― webber (webber), Thursday, 19 September 2002 11:35 (twenty-three years ago)

No. Those skateboard things actually have a purpose outside of just buying them [i.e. you can 'skate' on things]. Shoezies don't do anything apart from Sit There, being Shoezies.
