Fuck me, I had this as well! I was SHIT at it too. I also had a set of Paul Daniels playing cards which had the same card 27 times (nine of Diamonds, I seem to think) and the instructions for a whole range of tricks.

PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL

Funky was too old for this

Anyone remember these? Utterly pointless, but I loved collecting figures.

They did of course lead to the far more popular but short lived Monster In My Pocket. The pure joy when you'd get one that you already had but it was IN A DIFFERENT COLOUR!

My friend had this. It was just one really good TV ad and the game didn’t really work.

Jinx!

 

[Ellie]

This game was incredible, but it just took ages to set up with all of the cards

Waiting for @disneyteletubby to arrive with a Funkopop and story about fucking Enya.

God you're an arsehole when you're ill.

Oh, my nephew had a version of the penguin game a few years ago! He was right into it too.

And to a lesser extent, Speak & Maths.

I spent hours playing this with my gran until my mid teens. Her game was probably binned at some point late in the 80s or 90s, but then I found one in a charity shop here a couple of years ago. I'll sometimes have a glass of sherry and play it on my own. There's something comforting about sound of the wooden cubes being shaken in the plastic cup.

We had this which had a similar premise but was a bit easier.

A LA CART KITCHEN

I remember building one of these at 3am one Christmas Day morning, completely bladdered.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I had a toy ferry that had a hinged front so you could load it with toy cars, and it had real "smoke" that smelled AMAZING and I've always wanted to find it again just to experience its scent once more.

I always wanted a Girls World.

Great the first time you played it, that was it then done

The QOLs

My sister had one of these - it was called "Chicaboo" over here (which caused a few problems due to sounding a bit like a racist term which the UK learned from the first Police Academy film in 1984...)

Loved this but was DEVO’d years later when I saw that it comes with a petrol pump and car jack which mine DIDNT HAVE and so clearly was a hand-me-down
