Your annual reminder that ALF was one of the hosts of the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He was very into the Garfield balloon, obviously.

MANGLORS

via Dinosaur Dracula:

From Ideal in the mid '80s, MANGLORS was a strange-but-cool series of toys that stuffed stretchy, sticky monsters inside big plastic eggs. (They were also notoriously advertised as having the ability to "reassemble" if you tore them to pieces -- something that didn't work nearly as well as promised!)

HARDEE'S "GREMLIMS--TRAPPED" RECORD

Dinosaur Dracula posts:

Flashback to 1984, when Hardee's released a series of Gremlins read-along book-and-record sets. Not too shabby for something you got while picking up cheeseburgers!

ALF ERASERS

I still have mine!

BED BUGS

via Dinosaur Dracula:

Released by Milton Bradley in 1985, "Bed Bugs" was one of my favorite childhood games. It worked a bit like Operation, but this time, you had to use tongs to remove a bunch of bouncing bugs!

1083 : JABBA'S DUNGEON (SEARS EXCLUSIVE)

Dinosaur Dracula posts:

Kenner Star Wars toys, from 1983! On top is Jabba the Hutt, with his granite couch and pet monkey-lizard. A childhood fave! On the bottom is the Sears-exclusive "Jabba's Dungeon" playset, which wasn't much to look at, but did come with three action figures.
