VINTAGE REVIEW: Blinkins Shady

Blinkins were produced by LJN Toys from 1985-1987. I've known of their existence for decades, but somehow they never fully got on my radar. 

I recently made the horrible decision to go through the Ghost of the Doll website and look through all the lovely vintage toys. That's when I found the Blinkins and Shady here. 

How in the world the sassy orange glowbug fairy never caught my eye before I cannot say. 

These are not cheap, but what can I say? I wanted her. 

Little butterfly comb. 

This guy is Buzz. 

The sass. 

Love her hair!

She does light up. They don't come with a battery inside, so I added one and she works perfectly. Her butt glows if you push down on her head. 

Absolutely adore her! I want the others from the line, but I'm going to try to get them boxed for much lower prices than I just paid. 

She was worth it though. 

I should be back later or tomorrow with MH reviews. I've got 6 or 7 to tackle! They're all over my review shelf, which is why Shady got the not so lovely back of the couch setting, but hey, you're looking at the toy, not at the setting.
