From opening day on at My Favorite Toys and http://www.myfavtoys.com/, we've enjoyed listening to customers of all ages browse our retro/classic sections. Invariably, we'll hear, "Wow, I haven't seen that since I was a kid!" We hear this same comment from 16 year-olds and from 76 year-olds!The Slinky Dog is a good example. We remember this fellow ever since he stepped out into the 1950s, wagging his tail and wiggling his body. So we consider him to be a genuine retro type. But the youngsters and even young adults point to Slinky and exclaim, "Look...the 'Toy Story' dog, referring, of course, to the 1995 movie.
So it's great fun to help kids of all ages remember their favorites....and to understand the intergenerational meaning of "retro!"
And, yes, indeed, we do carry the Slinky Dog both in our brick-and-mortar store at University mall in Carbondale and in our online store at http://www.myfavtoys.com/ !
