My Pet Monster
Finally! The newest Toys Of Our Lives! This week is all about My Pet Monster!
Not only was this blue monster an awesome plush toy with orange break away handcuffs, it also had its own short lived cartoon on ABC in 1987.
When this guy first came out every kid on my block wanted one. The commercial was awesome too. I vaguely remember a kid hiding behind a couch and springing this monster on his sister and saying "GRRRRRR!". Of course she jumps out of her skin. 80s commercials were wonderfully non pc.
Kids today might not like them because: They don't have any contemporary tie ins with a cartoon and they can't compete with Robosapien.
Kids today might like them because: Though they don't offer high tech wizardry they do have break away handcuffs and can make any kid feel like they've got a scary, strong monster pet all their own.
