Wow, I can answer "yes" to all of those (side ponytail, not mullet) - how about you? My family even owned a Commodore 64, and I thought we were SO cool because of it. I also went to see the New Kids in concert when they came to Syracuse - good stuff.Anyhow, it got me all nostalgic for the great stuff from my 80's childhood, so I went looking for pictures from way back then of shows, toys, etc. See how many of these you recognize...
I loved this show!!! "Don't encourage your mother" "I heard that" "Water" meant water on the head, and "I don't know" meant you got slimed.
My Mom refused to buy these for us, but she did make us some (yes, you read that right - she MADE us Cabbage Patch dolls with cloth heads instead of plastic) - I still have mine. She's a redhead and her name is Susie.
Ah, Pac-Man. We ate Pac-Man cereal, Pac-Man Spaghettios - loved this guy. And Mrs. Pacman was even cooler!
Transformers!!!
I loved all G.I. Joes, but of course my favorite was Lady Jane.
Voltron!! My sister had Voltron sheets. I still have the pillowcase to them - yes I am an incurable packrat.
My favorite was Wish Bear. I have the official Care Bear movie - it's great.
"Space Ghost, from coast to coast"
What the heck were these things supposed to be, anyway?
Another strange but wonderful 80's creation.
The world's favorite blue people
Do any of you remember her? Man, I loved that show.
Aaaaaa!!! One of my absolute FAVORITES!! I had tons of the dolls - Glimmer, Perfumia, Catra, and even the She-Ra Castle.
I have the movie to this one, too.
Man, I had so many of these: Majesty, Applejack, Windy, Lickety Split, a couple that I can't remember the names of, and two of the babies. And yes, I had the pony castle, too.
I think I still have my old Strawberry Shortcake doll packed away somewhere...
Captain Caveman!!
Does anyone remember these guys?
The show "Pinwheel" - "Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around, look at my pinwheel, and see what I've found!"
I had the purple one (not pictured here) named Pancake
Another show that may not be remembered as well. The guy in the back was a manakin who came to life on the show - kind of creepy now that I think of it...
I had a really cool Poochie nail kit back in the day, and I still have the case for it. I had a couple of cool stamps, but my girls have trashed them, so I finally threw them away.Are there any 80's favorites of yours that I forgot?

Wow -that brought me back!!! I wanted to go to that NKOTB concert SO bad. I may still be jealous that you got to go!
And btw, I see people wearing side ponytails these days...
Happy, Happy Birthday!!!! I remember most of these things. My mom also make me a cabbage patch doll. I still have her too-her name is Ginger. Good stuff. What a fun "read" down memory lane.
Good job! You totally forgot about Teddy Ruksbin though and his little ?caterpillar? friend. Also-the wuzzles! How could you forget those? sniff sniff. And, glow worms. I remember having one at the old house. And, people town and maple town. Ok, that's all I got for now with toys. :)
