But moving on! Let's talk toys! More importantly, let's talk toys that aren't really around anymore! That list can go on and on! I believe I've already posted on the transformation of Polly Pocket, which is a sad, sad thing!
But the toy I want to talk about today was a hit sensation in the late 90s, pretty sure it was then.
I'm talking about Tamagotchis!
It was so fun to take care of too! Feeding it, playing with it, making it happy, cleaning up it's Hershey Kiss shaped poop!
Sadly, there comes a time when the battery dies. And apparently there isn't a screwdriver small enough--or at least back then there wasn't, haven't tried looking for one lately--to open the back and replace the battery. I still have mine! Somewhere. It may be in a toy box or one of my "stuff" boxes. I say stuff because it's not junk really!
I also remember the first "second" Tamagotchi and that was Tamagotchi Angel! I had one of those too! It was basically the same toy but it's an angel alien like thing!
Which also reminds me, remember when the Tamagotchi died?! The original one turns into an angel and floated away--I believe. And I think the angel one just floated away too. It's been years since I played with them obviously!
I also had the Gameboy game version for it. I think it was actually Gameboy, the first version! We have that one with the green screen. I have some of the older models too, plus the DS, the first version, so I can still play with my Tamagotchi but it's not the same! I may have to go hunting for a tiny screwdriver soon!
Oh my goodness I remember those! I still have an old version tucked away somewhere, it's battery is long gone but I preserved it eheh.
