    Default Your Favourite Toy (picture heavy, so far)

    While Googling for something, I stumbled upon an irrelevant topic made in a forum that asked a question I thought was kinda cool - what was your favourite toy as a kid?

    For me, it was easily the remarkable Whiskers. While visiting my cousin in Australia in 1992, I stumbled upon this dinky little stuffed cat that she had in a collection of things she never touched anymore. For whatever reason it is that a kid falls in love with these things, I became infatuated with it. Fortunately she was more than willing to part with it, and after my sister gave him a name (which is handy because I had been naming my characters crap like Super Kitty at that point), he was all set to go.




    There he is - note the missing patches of fur; that's how much he got around. I took him with me everywhere (with the exception of the obvious places like the bath and school). He went on all sorts of fantastic adventures, and in my years of crappy storytelling he was often a recurring role. I never really gave him any negative qualities, I guess I projected perfection onto this little toy. Bizarre.

    Before Whiskers came along, the one who got all the love and travelling was Sarge. My Tonka Pooch Patrol dog. These things were fantastic...



    Here's Sarge, all lovin' and carin'. But when a ghost attacked, or he got drunk...



    He was a mean old bastard.

    They had this great advertising campaign for these things as companions who would scare away ghosts, and it sure as hell worked - I felt safe having Sarge around. Christ, if I were suddenly attacked by a ghost today I may even brandish Sarge like some sort of holy cross, threatening to bear his teeth. ...Yeah, I doubt that'll happen. But still. Best to be prepared.

    So what have you got?

    Wow thats pretty cool, I dont have any pictures on me but at home in my cupboard somewhere is a small brown bear called Bruno. This could possibly be after the first member of the elite 4 in R/B/Y even though I didn't like him much or maybe I made it up because I had heard it somewhere before or and even weirder theory as a kid I was a fan of alliteration.

    My favorite toy when I was little was this thing called a gloworm, which I had named "Glomie". Back then they were little plastic toys that glew in the dark, but now-a-days they're bigger soft things that light up when you press on them. Just another result of the paranoid "oh no, my kid's gonna choke on that!" mentality. I also had an ALF stuffed animal. I loved ALF when I was little.

    My favourite toys used to be Legos. I still bulit my own castle was it last year. But the new Legos are pathetic. I'll post a picture of the castle as soon as I find it, it may have a poor quality though.
