Four Cool Dolls!

Happy birthday to you. Here's a look at four great dolls, forever changing the stereotypes surrounding their kind of toys. You've got the Enemy Visitor doll from V, a big potato, Archie Bunker's grandson and Steve freaking Urkel. It's like everything you've ever wanted for your birthday. The V doll is particularly awesome, so much so that I'll start the bidding at 5,000 bucks and tell all interested parties to e-mail me with their chosen form of escrow. Back to my booze in the blender, but not before...

A New Survey! You've got one week to live. What's your plan?

If I had one week to live, I would go out in style. I would buy myself a Couch Potato doll, feed my Archie-Kid-Doll-With-A-Package, and squeeze the head off my Erkle doll.

Happy b-day bro. Just celebrated mine on the 8th. 29 years. Whoa. Keep up the excellent work on this site.

I can’t believe they made Flabber.

I feel suicidal when I remember watching that show.

BeetleBorgs, probably the worst kids show ever. Matt should do an article on it.

I am really really really really bored. So I clicked all the names in this blog that have links and will no proclaim that Mr. Mr. Mr. site is quite enjoyable and worth of your attention anytime, not just when your bored. One reason I have made this official statement, his site has Pooch Patrol!

I still have my ‘V’ doll and he on my shelf. Still looking as good as ever. I also wondered why there wasn’t any more toys from this show. They could of have several figures just like they do for Star Wars (all the outfits for Diana alone! If you count the series after TFB). Maybe if the remake of ‘V’ ever gets off the ground, they will make toys for the new show, and then make the older figures into toys.

One week to live….I’d try and read as much as I could, and watch any movies that I’ve put off watching. And maybe end a few lives of those who have pissed me off.

What does this make me…#7 to remember Big Bad Beetleborgs (as well as the following season: Beetleborgs Metallix)?

And it was so much a ripoff of Power Rangers, they were both distributed by Saban at the time, so you can tell obvious similarities to both series. I even swear that the old costumes for Beetleborgs were used in later episodes of Power Rangers (especially the one with all of the Red Rangers, the villains’ costumes were all from that show)

I always got creeped out by the V show. I wish I would’ve picked up a V doll now, though. But, being the poor kid I was, I could only have what could be purchased with what I made selling cheese during lunch.

Wow I never knew the phrase "Did I do that" was trademarked. I don’t see how that is possible. I think I’m going to trademark the word "the" and "a". Everyone will be paying mad royalties to me!!!

Hi, I just found this site and it is AWESOME! I was drawn in when looking for the original Lucky Charm line, and then found the greatness of Swirly Whale. Yeah, the dolls are great too. I want a V doll now. Hummm. Next stop, ebay.

If I had one week to live… I don’t know, can you drop me by the liquor store so I can start planning?

Ah yes I remember that "Great Power Rangers Clone" flood that gave birth to Beetleborgs Super Human Samurai Syber Squad and that GOD AWFUL Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighter. I actually got kinda fond of SHSSS for a while becuz in the hour betwen waking up and catching the cheese wagon there was very little else on since at that point most of my TV networks had started to phase out there weekday morning cartoon line ups. TTAF was horrible I have no idea what USA was thinking when they came up with that turd. I rememeber that the acting and special effects were so shitty that it made the first season of power rangers look like it was written by shakespeare and had its SFX done by ILM.

Incidentally I did have a Couch Potato tho I have no idea what happened to him. The V and Joey dolls were before my time so I had no idea they even existed…and in the case of the latter I wish to the gods that were still true >_<

With one week to live i would have sex with every fine girl possible, and probably impregnate all of them. The future is full of me.HAHAHAHAHA. And I would spend the last day of my life playing Nintendo, and with my last breath I would finally beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That’d let me die happy I think. I know its a little late but I just bought the Super Mario Brothers Board game on ebay, I can’t wait for it to arrive.

That Joey Stivic doll is frightening. And its face actually reminds me of a doll I had as a kid, but she was fortunately sewn together with underwear permanently on. I never saw the fun of dolls that piss themselves. And if realism was what they were going for, why not a doll that pukes and shits as well. Good Lord.

If I was going to die in a week, I would need to rob a bank- or perhaps mug Paris Hilton- so I could have enough money to take the whole family to Disney World. And, once there, when I kicked the bucket I would volunteer to be the thousandth happy haunt in the Haunted Mansion.

Did I really read that entire article all the way down to the revised Urkel grade, only to be deprived of a shot of the logo that warranted the change?

Thanks be to Google: http://www.vintagelane.com/images/urkel_family_matters_doll_in_box_talking_doll.JPG

Oh my god, that doll was anitomically correct???! Now, that is scary!!! They could NEVER get away with that now. Could you imagine?????

My mom’s parents and grandmother loved Steve Urkel!!!! I think my cousin (who’s 15 now) got one of those dolls when she was 1 yr. old. I think one of my cousins gave it to her. I wonder if she still has it.

That "V" doll was cool!!!!!! Lizard face and funky tounge!!!!!!!!! We’d have a field day at work with that one, particularly the lizard tounge!!!!!!!

I remember Couch Potato, but what the hell is a Flabber doll?? Someone wanna clue me in?

Great article, Matt!!!!

My boyfriend says to me "No sweat my pet" all the time, then he does his hysterical Pee-Wee Herman impression. Because I’m a sucker for anyone who can do Pee-Wee.

I can’t believe I just admitted that.

Chestnuts roasted by Allison @ 02/17/2005 9:29 AM

I couldn’t see the Urkel thing you were talking about on the box….is that because I am retarded?

My cousin STILL has a Couch Potato somewhere in his house.

The Joey Stivic doll did indeed lead to bans. It was pulled off of store shelves just after my mum bought mine. I was two yrs old and I loved that doll. And he did have teaching value; he helped toilet train four of my male cousins.
