my teddy ruxpin! and i still have him! and a panda teddy called boo-boo... he has his arm in a sling and tears in his eyes... i've had a lot of operations on my right hand since i was born (due to skin cancer) and my aunty bought me boo-boowhen i was having my first op... now if any of my family or friends are in hospital boo-boo goes too to keep them company!
he's getting a bit straggly now.. his stuffing's coming out of his head... and the colouring is rubbing off his eyes where i've tried to wipe his tears off!

i had a womble i used to suck my thumb and stroke him at the same time and one day my mum threw him out with the rubbish i was sooo upset and to this day if i need to diffuse a tense argument with her i bring up the fact about my womble and we always end up laughing

I still have mine, My daughter now "looks after it for me". She also has some new ones of her own Including an anoying singing one!
She also has tons of my little ponys which were another favourite of mine, sadly mine got adopted by our pet dog .

I wonder what will be the next to come back. My little Keepers? Rainbow brite?

I guess Shaun is an unusual name for a bear! I called him that because when I hit the age for naming things, my sister was going out with a guy called Shaun (she was 15yrs older than me.)

it was this simple little inexpensive toy.......it was a small hill under a plastic cover on top of a piece of cardboard....there was a little metal ball that you had to get to the top of the hill (holding onto the cardboard and moving it so that the ball would climb up the hill)....it was all labeled as if it was space...

it was a simple thing made in a sheltered workshop that my father ran while he was getting his Ph.D (it was his job, while he worked on his PhD at the same time)......it was my 3rd birthday and i was visiting the workshop (as i often did - the people working there enjoyed having me around for some reason)...... a man in the sheltered workshop gave it to me as a present for my birthday and i cherished it for years and years.....

then many years later, when i was in graduate school, my mother gave it away to a boy who was visiting my parents house with his parents......(cousins of mine i think)...
when she told me she'd given it to him to play with i didn't mind....when she told me that she'd told him he could keep it, i was devastated.....i couldn't believe she would do that.....the most dear toy i had ever had and even now, 47 years after i first received it, it still brings a special feeling to me...and makes me sad to think that it was probably chucked into the trash the same day.....mothers are sometimes none too bright.....

My 7 year old DD collects those now!! My friend kept her daughters original bears and a duvet set which she kindly gave to us. Emily was over the moon!

My favourite was a 'Penny Puppy Walker'. No one seems to remember it but it was a doll which could walk (I don't remember the puppy) and I think you held it with a piece of rope or plastic. I can't remember what happened to it.

I've still got my first teddy given to me when I was a baby although he's quite tatty now (even though I've given him a new ribbon - sad eh?). He lives at the side of my bed with my special Pink Panther which was my dads' before he died and which I cuddle every now and then to get the special smell on it to remind me of my dad.
