I had the Bert and Ernie dolls. They were indeed very cuddly. 🙂

Arkonbey: I have a strange ability to find stuff like that for $1 at garage sales & thrift stores. I'll keep looking! 🙂

"Blip, the exciting digital game for hours of fun!" Oh, for simpler times.

I loved the Big Wheels section. I had forgotten about the one where you sit in the middle of two wheels and turn the wheels with your hands instead of your feet. I never got to try it, but it sure did look interesting.

I have the Sesame Street Trucks, Talking Cookie Monster, the FP Activity Desk & the Doctor's Kit.

One of Cookie's sayings is "I love vegetables". When I was younger, I always insisted he was saying "I love ziggidy-bogs"! (That took some thinking to come up with a spelling for that!) Ah, the clearness of 70's voice technology...

I was at a flea market in Alabama last month & found a near-mint Bionic Man. Had his shoes & everything! They wanted $25 for him though, so my quest to replace the one my Mom threw out continues...
