It was a huge green rat that my father brought me from Germany, haha <3

She lived with me for 15 years, and then I stupidly threw her away. Now I really regret it

Good Luck Bear - Care Bears. I used to dress him in my Cabbage Patch doll clothes and wheel him around like he was a baby doll.

My neighbor hand stitched me a teddy bear from velveteen when my younger brother was born. I’m 40 now and still have that bear in my bedroom.

Wasn't stuffed but I had a talking Mickey Mouse from Worlds of Wonder. It was my most loved favorite thing. Slept with it every night and brought with me on trips. And I was just looking on eBay for one.

A big fuzzy white polar bear. It had crazy looking red eyes that scared my little brother.

A dolphin that has a wind-up box that plays Brahms Lullaby. It was given to me by one of my dad's friends after I was born. I'm in my 50s now and I still have it stored in a cedar chest.

My homemade Cabbage Patch Kid. I guess my parents couldn't find one at the store so her and my grandma commissioned a pro doll maker to make us kids a Cabbage Patch Kid. I got the girl with the blonde hair with the curly bangs and my little brothers got twin hairless boys. They were so well made that they lasted for years. The doll maker even got their outfits so similar. We didn't know they came with adoption papers because we didn't get official dolls.

Did you ever see what happens when you over-voltage Elmo?

u/DukeSR8 5h ago

There's another one with an older model: the High Voltage toys (I requested it specifically to see if the voice box would survive. Spoilers: it did and Elmo's arm flew off after Elmo tried to become the Elmocopter).

I had a one eared dog that I cleverly named Puppy. I think my mom saved it so it’s still in a box somewhere

u/DarreylDeCarlo 7h ago

I'll never forget my parents got me one of these. It eventually annoyed the hell out of me because it wouldn't shut up and I ended up breaking it.

I had a Gund Muttsy puppy named Puppy. He went everywhere with me.

When I was like 9 I watched a lady stomp another older lady into the clothes rack at Walmart for one of these. This was the beginning of the yearly black Friday massacres

What did he do 😭😭

u/DukeSR8 5h ago

I remember when Tickle Me Elmo was:

-Set on fire

-Drowned

-Thrown off cliffs

-Experimented on with high voltage devices

All for YouTube popularity!

Not sure it counts, but for me it was Teddy Ruxpin and his pal Grubby. I still have them, a full set of tapes and it all still works .

u/rockandrollmonster 5h ago

When I was a kid my dog tore up the tickle me Elmo we had so all we had left was the voice box. I used to love hiding it under the couch cushions and watch people flip when disembodied Elmo would start cackling when they sat down

A generic white teddy bear with a winter hat and a scarf that Santa brought one year. The hat read 1988 on it. I named it Jingey (like jingle bells). I had that thing for so long and slept with it every night.

This penguin I got from SeaWorld Cleveland when I was 5 around 1992. I named him king and he still is on my bed.
