Holly-Isis, I loved my Fashion Plates too! In fact, my dad just moved and I asked him to try to find them for my kids.
And the Holly Hobby.....as I type this, my daughter is sleeping with mine. She's still got a lot of love to give!

Losfer- I'm glad guys got into the "fashion plate" action too.
Some of the doll posts reminded me of this. It's one of the few "big" gifts I had my heart set on and actually got. I played with my "Rock-n-Roll Stroller" until all the "Rock" was gone and there was only "Roll" left:
"I've got a Rock-n-Roll stroller so my dolly can rock-n-roll."
More tech:
After E.T. I wanted Speak and Spell- my brother got it. I got the less cool "Speak and Math". 
My dad was always cutting edge tech...we had an early portable computer...eat your heart out iPad:
Black screen, green text...I could type papers but my favorite activities was playing "Adventure"
"Go north"
-You are surrounded by trees.
"Go south"
-You are surrounded by trees.
"Go east"
-You are surrounded by trees.
"Go west"
-You are surrounded by trees.
"Beat head on tree"
-You have a headache. And you are surrounded by trees.

"Being in love" first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise. *CS Lewis*

@Ascendant - Did you actually OWN one of those? If so... then you are a spoiled, spoiled brat. 
@Holly-I - I actually got recruited to work for Activision back in the day as a pre-teen (Summers at ages 10-12)
I got all the Ghostbusters II before it was officially released. I also got the Three Stooges game, which was rad and terrible at the same time. The controls sucked, but they were slapping the hell out of each other and throwing pies and racing down a hospital corridor dropping tools and knocking doctors over. Epic.
Oh, and the Adventures of Rad Gravity? (that NOBODY bought or played) That was MY team. You're welcome. All five of you.

^^^ I used to take the Omagles to my best friend's house. We would make cars out of them, tie each other up as tightly as we could in the cars and push each other into the pool. You weren't allowed to try to get out of the ropes until the car touched the water.
I keep going back to re-read this and make sure I understood correctly.
Yep. Just had eighteen mom-heart-attacks.

Just be happy that you have a girl. My sisters never did anything like that. My brother's stories are even worse!

King Zor!
It wasn't mine; it was my brother's, but he was deathly afraid of it and I had so much fun scaring the shit out of him with it!
