toys

If you're just a horrible adult who needs pictures of Christmas morning to revitalize your holiday spirit, then here you go. If your family sucked at Christmas and you just wanna hate on all these kids that got what they wanted, you're free to do that too. Here's some more nostalgia for 80s and 90s kids. Going back further, here are some horrifically weird old-timey Christmas cards.

This hilarious Tumblr story centers on a childhood game that a couple kids would play with their respective action figures. Unfortunately, within that league of action figures was a horribly misunderstood lad named Evil Chancellor Traytor. The poor homie would regularly fill out his diary with his various wholesome escapades, while other action figures in the community were busy badmouthing him behind his back. The Chancellor just couldn't overcome his name. It's a true shame. 

Whenever life and its endless procession of curveballs gets you down, it can help uplift the spirits by remembering that Wexter is out there living her best life. She fearlessly conquers the unknown, and does so with nothing short of an admirable amount of enthusiasm. But, would you expect anything less from an extreme chompin' T-Rex? Of course not.

Sometimes, we need to lean on the internet to provide our worried, overactive minds a welcomed recess from the stresses of the world. Now more than ever, we can all benefit from some time observing Wexter the Chompin T-Rex's series of hilarious adventures. May Wexter live on forever in Tumblr history.

This kid was clearly just appreciating how dang cool those grow-your-dinosaur toys are. I mean, who wouldn't want to grow a dinosaur if they had the chance. 

Most people who grew up in the 80s and 90s remember the peculiar angular pastel interior of a fast food place, the lawlessness of a McDonald's play place, the absolute need to get a specific happy meal toy, and the peculiar flavor of Hi-C orange drink. What a weird time. If this gets your nostalgia motot running, here's some 90s nostalgia from simpler times.

At this point we can pretty conclusively say that there have been simpler times. So here are some memory-jogging images of things like toys and TV shows for people who grew up in the 90s and maybe a little bit into the early 00s. Hey man, it's something. And here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids.

Wow, Tumblr does it again with a wild little thread that involves a strange toy egg cracking, and some kind of monster surfacing. Seriously, behold that awful creation. Kind of hilarious and uncomfortable at the same time. We love it. 

We all like to think, in our own nostalgic haze, that our old toys would be worth something today. In actuality, most of your old magazines, cards and complete collection of McDonald's Transformers probably aren't worth anything. But in some rare cases, people realize 20 years after the fact that their mom threw away thousands of dollars worth of stuff. On the other side of things, here are stupid purchases people regret making.

So, this Tumblr story is a wildly enjoyable trip. The plot line, politics, drama, etc. really immerse the reader's mind in a different realm for a while. It's fun. Pour one out for Evil Chancellor Traytor who just wanted to improve the lives of those around him, while those very people assumed he had nothing but dark intentions. A true saga of the unsung hero. 

Rob Arnold has spent a dizzying amount of time sifting through washed up litter, and has some interesting and informative things to say about the plastic he's seen. Some of this stuff can even be traced back to specific incidents from decades ago, which is crazy to think about.
