You know one awesome aspect of being an adult who collects toys? You can make your childhood dreams come true by buying yourself the toys you wanted most while a kid but never got for one reason or another.
One doll I desperately wanted as a little kid was a Kid Sister doll. For some reason, it just wasn’t meant to be way back then, but I have one now! Just bought this little beauty on Ebay – a rare splurge for myself!
Were there any toys you wanted badly as a kid but never got? If you came across it today would you be tempted to get it for yourself?

Fabulous splurge! The only toy I ever wanted but didn’t end up getting was a Cabbage Patch doll. But I was pretty My Little Pony obsessed, so I was okay with focusing my toy interests on them.

I was obsessed with My Little Pony and Cabbage Patch Dolls too growing up. I remember one year I got the talking Cabbage Patch doll for my birthday and it was like the greatest gift ever lol.

you did right to treat yourself – life’s too short not to indulge from time to time.

No. But I looked last year and they varied between £50 or more. Not many about, when I looked out of curiosity. The best one available to me was £70.

Maybe some day! You might get lucky and find one at a yard sale or thrift store someday! I’ve found a few things that way.

It was just a look and a wonder. I didn’t want to spend something on what would probably be a novelty for a few months of hopefully play. Because I would want one working. Not interested in having it on display as I like to be minimal. But if I was to see one on a thrift store, working, now that might get very tempting. 😁
