I saw this and thought of the good ol' 80s.

Anyone remember how every little girl wanted one of these?
I didn't want those. What I really wanted bad such that my mom took me to the Cabbage Patch Kids store in San Francisco was a Koosa and more specifically, the cat variant koosa. Mine was a pink color, boy cat. I forget what I named him.
I definitely remember those being the envy of every girl in the world during the 1980s....even in Italy. I'm 49 years old, and I can proudly say that I still have three "bamboli del campo incantato" (dolls of the enchanted field/enchanted field dolls) in my spare bedroom. Many different manufacturers made Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, but Jesmar (from Spain) was by far the best!

You didn't mention My Little Pony or Rainbow Brite though!

I wasn't borned yet at the 80s, but in 90s we wanted Trolls https://youtu.be/pPDQqBki8nc?si=djDuKGkAyUXpn1HP&t=336
Yes, the good ol' 80s. It was a lot of fun.

I also remember the Garbage Pail Kids, or whatever it was. One of my cousins whom I grew up with had a lot of dolls as a kid, but I don't remember her having Cabbage Patch Kids. *shrug*
OP was this around in the 80s in Canada? Wiki says it was but not sure how much.
It was big in US though

Koosa cat

Do you still have him? The very early beginnings of a cat person :) I love the fact that something from 80s is still widely recognized nowadays. This song is a perfect example. Play it and people still know it even if they were born in the 2000s.

It also makes me happy that Mario, Back to the Future,Indiana Jones and GhostBusters are still pretty well known today even by people born in 2000s. I was there for those franchise's origins back in the day, I never imagined they would last so long
