    I remember growing up I had a massive snow man I got when I was born. I was given numerous reminders of "The day you're bigger than it it's going in the bin."

    I'll never forgive my mother for throwing him in the skip. :(

    My younger brother still has all his teddies he was given when born. (Fúcking favouritism :mad: )

    So, do you still have yours?

    I had so many awesome toys in the 80's that would probably be collector's items now, like a Rainbow Brite doll, a ton of My Little Ponies and the castle that they lived in, classic Barbies, Sylvanian families, Little Mermaid doll, Teddy Ruxpin, Secret Keepers, Polly Pockets, and loads of other stuff. But about 10 years ago when my mum moved house, she just threw them all away!

    Like wise, had loads of Star Wars He-man stuff although while they would not be collectors items I liked them but my parents had to go an donate them to the little sh*ts in the childrens hospital.

    I have to admit I didnt have teddies or stuffed toys when I was a kid, but oner thelast few years I've started a collection, every year I've gone to the EKKA (Brisbane show) I win a few on the shootin gallery, startd of as a bit of a laugh but as time progressed I started winning bigger and bigger ones, its a strang little addiction :O

    makes people doubletake when they come into my office, not the kind a thing you asscosiate with my line of work

    That was a bit shìtty alright.

    I remember when I was 13/14 I sneaked one teddy in my suitcase going on holidays cos i couldn't bear (ha ha) to leave ol' Dubby. If anyone had found out .... shudder!

    Dubby's dead to me now, of course, being an adult and tough, and all. I drink beer and have sex, me.

    When I was about 9, I bought myself a toy dog in Mosney when I was on a school tour. I named him Toby and had him for years. My sister didn't like him, said he was evil. My mother threw him out eventually:( I also had a little red and yellow teddy called Harry who disappeared too...
    Don't think I'd any more soft toys as a child. However my hubbie and my ex both bought me lots of soft toys. I have a cuddly duck, my hubbie bought me who I sleep with now. I'm very fond of him...my son hates him..think he's a bit jealous.

    I tended to rip the heads off my teddies and burn them. Good fun.

    Wow, this thread is after stirring something in the archives of my brain!

    I had a teddy I was really attached to and I don't know if it was a nightmare or an actual event, but I lost him when we were going through the countryside I think. I cried loads, we had to go back and get him and it was really late at night.

    There is more to it but it's pretty hazy and I can't remember it too well but I do know that it scared the crap out of me.

    If it was only a dream, then it's probably the only dream of my early childhood I remember.

    I had a teddy, roughly about 4 foot tall when I was 2. My dad gave it away to my aunt and if I'm honest I still hold a grudge against him for it. I loved it. He was 'clearing out the junk'. I'm 26 now btw

    Some of them, It got to the point where my room was being taken over by toys so I had to streamline :(

    I used to have a little pink bunny called Lucy that I loved but it got thrown away. I have a dog called Lucy now though so it's all good

    Don't be the hard man, of course boys have teddies !

    My brother still has his since he was a baby. Hes missing an eye but he still loves him. Hes 26 now =P
    Grown men having teddies is creepy.

    Das ok. The OP isn't a grown up anyway :pac:



    I still have mine. Normally sits on top of a set of drawers in my room. Though whenever I'm sick, sad or drunk hes allowed in beside me :o

    I still have the baby doll I got from Santy when I was 4. She's been in the wars abit since my elder brother shaved her head, bit her fingers off and tried to gouge her eyes out. I keep her, just make sure she's not in my line of vision at night time - love her, but jebus, she'd fairly give you nightmares.

    Also, I've got the toy dog that used to sit on my bed at Granny's house. Story has it that it was my Dad's when he was little, though Dad denies it (cos he's a MAN) and as my Granny was a mean hearted unsentimental beatch I very much doubt she bought any of her kids toys, let alone keep them!!
