We took the army men to school, too. Nowadays they'd call the cops and have us taken away under restraint!

I'm so glad you remember! I didn't know a lot of girls who had one or remember her. I forgot about her lacy orange dress! I had a plaid skirt and blouse combo for her, too.

My little sister was 4 and tried (and failed) to cut her hair, ruined the lace dress and nearly tore off her arm. I can laugh about it now, lol. I repaired her arm with wire and yarn, reattaching it in a way. I even made a sling out of fabric. I loved the hair, I wanted red hair for years after that.

Did you know she is worth big bucks now if you still have her?

Also, did anyone have the Samantha(bewitched) doll?

She came in a long red sparkled dress with a red witches hat.

Then there was the Batgirl doll. She had her batgirl costume and street clothes..

Don't remeber SLime. But I remember Shrunken Heads. You'd put them in the oven and they'd shrivel up. Felt like a real headhunter!!

I wish! My dad threw her out, by accident, when I was in college. He threw out the box marked 'save' because he thought it had junk inside, and kept the box of used books, marked 'garbage' that I couldn't give away. Sigh.

I remember the Samantha doll. I wasn't allowed to get one because she was a witch. I thought the sparkly gown was very glamorous.
