I’m amazed you have been taking that kind of care of them for so long. Makes me wonder how long you can keep a plant or goldfish going. *Now I’m imagining an old, bearded goldfish with a tiny walker swimming around, but why would it need the walker...

Never had Puffalumps, but the old-school Little People were the best kids toy outside of Lego. Now they’re all short, stocky, and weird.

Very cool that you still have it. I have a giant stuffed lobster that is 27-years old now.

Yeah, I’m a grown-up who still has a stuffed animal. Deal with it.

Not very long. :’( You have to feed and/or water living things. Puffalumps just need the occasional spin in the laundry.

I still have my stuffed animals from when I was a child. My yellow bear, ingeniously named “Yellow Bear” is pushing 34 and my brown bear, named Muffin Man after the song, is close behind. They’re enjoying retirement on a shelf in my closet.

I have to come clean about something. Outside of Stef, I had/have no idea what puffalumps were/are. I was born in ‘88.

Several things

1. I’ve never owned a Puffalump. Must be missing something.

2. Your shoes match your shirt and have toes.

3. That shirt should say Parsh-ah-lump.

My ingeniously named “Boo Bear” is now 30 and my son (4 year old) has him in his bed. For the record he was supposed to be Blue Bear, but I couldn’t pronounce Blue when I named him so it came out Boo, and it stuck.

Congrats, Coco. Here in the Chariot household, we take stuffty welfare seriously. I’m going out to get more stuffing for Hugz this week so he can hold his head up better.

My personal bear, Bear, is 47 years old and still sleeps on my bed.

Pretty cool. I still have the first toy I ever got, a Winnie The Pooh pull-string musical toy apparently made out of Bakelite that Mom got for me when I was born nearly 40 years ago. Well, had, because I gave it to my son when he was born.

That there car is a parsh neinfofo, however, because “Porsche” is apparently two syllables in fancy-talk, it was easy enough to make into “Porschelump” as the name of the car.

I later had a 944 above that F-P sign. It (and more Puffalumps, of course) matched the Toy Store pretty well.

I’d just straight up ask them. Get yourself a Cayman in the PWC with a bunny colour scheme. Team race suits like Puffalumps. It could be a great way to re-launch them.

I’ve thought this through too much, haven’t I?

Hahaha, my son has him but doesn’t play with him much, he’s got his “guys” which is the core group of his stuffed animals. He named them as well as I did the starting line up is Yellow Dog, Blue Dog, and New Yellow Dog. An alternate to the team is Spot. Who is a taggy dog that has a couple big spots on him.

I swear we both have imaginations.
