I once read that Bob Saget's least favorite video from his time hosting the show was a clip featuring two young children who were brothers; the older brother is shown sleeping on a floor while the younger brother is sitting over him. The younger brother begins to dig for gold up his nasal cavity - a few seconds later he brings home a nugget which he then proceeds to put in his brothers open mouth.
Anyway enough about the 90s nostalgica and slightly disgusting booger-to-mouth stories - let's turn the flux capacitor dial back a few years and into the mid-80s shall we.
I recently purchased an item online for my vintage Care Bears collection that I felt like sharing up here on the blog. I would totally label this one an 'on the whim' pickup as I pulled the trigger and clicked the "Buy It Now!" button just a few moments after stumbling across this gem. It was just something that I felt like I had to have.
This Play-Doh Care Bear Cousins Playset was made by Kenner and released in 1984. I basically could have bought this for the box art alone not to mention the fact that I've never seen another one of these Play-Doh playsets through my online vintage Care Bear searches.
There's another Play-Doh playset released from the Care Bears line featuring just the Care Bears themselves. I personally have yet to see that one make an appearance online.
The set itself is missing just a couple of small pieces such as a sculpting knife and a rolling pin. If there were any additional papers/instructions that came with the playset then those are absent as well.
Oh yeah, I also just wanted to mention that the seller had a "Best Offer" option available but went ahead and rejected my offer that was just $3 less than his asking price. Why even bother.
Linking up with Sir Thrift A Lot!
Lovely post dear :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you got it, did you immediately go out, buy some Play-Doh, and then make a ton of Doh bears? That looks like so much fun.
