Russian Piñata Furniture
When looking for that perfect gift don’t forget the old youth favorites—they’re still available. Remember the Atari 2600? Remember the nesting dolls? (www.bonshops.com) Did you forget about the slinky? And how about the slip n slide? All four of these toys from our past are still available to the average consumer. You don’t even need to be that diligent about finding them.
Living in southern California in the early to mid 1980s made me quite accustomed to seeing piñatas at birthday parties. If it wasn’t for piñatas being available online I would never see them here in Washington State. Cabbage Patch dolls ruled my sister’s life and micro machines ruled mine. Hot Wheelz and Matchbox cars were my main obsession. My second obsession was the magical Nintendo Entertainment System with Super Mario Brothers.
Cap guns were a blast and marbles weren’t far behind. Lego’s were a big part of my life for many years. The action figures in the 1980s were Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Masters of the Universe. The Transformers and Care Bears were also huge marketing successes. Micro Machines were a huge hit for many years and are now only available in Europe. Some of the doll-related merchandise included Rainbow Brite, Smurfs, and My Little Pony.
The Rubik’s Cube, invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik, got huge in 1980 and has sold 300 million to date. Who could forget G.I. Joe, a real American hero? This toy line from Hasbro lasted from 1982 to 1993, which was a remake of the G.I. Joe figure of 1960 that stood twelve inches tall.

For detractors, Mall Madness may teach and encourage over-consumption, indebtedness, and a focus on material culture at an early age (9 and up). But for those who care more about pretty ponchos than prickly politics, the game offers the same guilty pleasure th… |
