anyone:

i know this is a very vague description but i recently watched a home video from my second birthday, 1987, and i got this toy that i remember so well, but i cant think of what it is called and i would love to find another one.

it was a stuffed animal sort of, but more of just a round shaped guy that was very pale yellow and had a hood on. when the lights went out his nose would light up and he would make this sort of high pitched ringing noise for a few seconds.

i used to hear it every night before i went to sleep for years. does anyone have ANY idea what i'm talking about?
p.s. i'm new here!
:carebear

Hi there.
I have no idea what toy that is, but it sounds scary! I bet somebody here will have an idea. Good luck :carebear

Welcome!! :wave

I have no idea about the toy though! Do you have a picture of it?

omg--it sounds like you are talking about a Chubbles...
I have one!!! I'll take a pic for you....

Wow! You are good, Shell! I have never heard of that one! lol

Is it the brown bear when you hit stuffed animal?If so it looks like Bear in the Big Blue House :lol: I know it's not But it looks like it. :music

hang on--I'm taking a pic of him now...I'll post back when I get him uploaded....


I'm on bob's comp and can't figure out how to get the pics off the camera on this one.. :angry:


:wave

heres a pic--I hope the attachment thing works...

YAY!! It worked...

I tried attaching a pic from my comp before but it said it didn't support those type of files...anyhoo--is that who you were talking about??
:wave

Shell... that looks exactly like what she was describing! I hope that is it!!! :lambie

he is so cute too! & he still works

the only thing is--when you put him in the dark after he's been in the light..he won't be quiet, lol :wave

Ahhh! Sounds like a nightmare to me! :ha
I hope this is the toy they were searching for :)

[SIZE=14]THAT IS IT!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. i just bought one on ebay!! i can't wait. thanks again so much, you are a genius!

saw my 2nd birthday home video and realized how much i missed hearing that sound every night

again, THANK YOU

lol--YOU'RE WELCOME!!!
Congrats on finding one!!!

:wave

Hey Erin--he has a cute sound....but he takes a 9-volt battery..I wonder how long it will be before they stop making them...

Wow. A 9 volt battery? *gulp*

Congrats on finding your toy and getting one!

Great job Shell! :party

lol--yep 9 volt.....

how 80's is that? :ha

I really better stock up on a few... :wave

Yeah!!! It's like Shell has everything!!!

But my new Hello Kitty alarm clock uses a 9V battery!! So, I think they should be around for some time still!

LOL JOyce--
I *might* have everything...I just have to keep it all hidden so bob doesn't see how much I *really* have LOL

thank goodness about your clock! phew....



anyway--they are getting rid of all film cameras -did you know that?
they are going to stop making 35mm film and 35mm film cameras.... :wave

OMG! I was just about to post about this! I totally forgot his name! I had one just like that when I was little. Same color and everything!

Thanks so much for posting that pic (and name)! :D

Good googly moogly, we had these evil critters when I was married to my ex(no, not wildfire) those toys were evil!!!!!!especially when the batteries would go weak, spooky, (I'll be sleeping with a flashlight tonight)!!!

I also heard they were getting rid of VCRs! The only thing I don't like about digital cameras is the short battery life...

heehee... I can't imagine that thing on weak batteries. LOL

Shell, I didn't know about the extinction of 35mm cameras. Wow.

LOL... It doesn't help that my camera uses a special kind of battery too. I wanna be able go months without recharging... not just 2 hours (constant use).

yea--bob's brother owns a camera shop--was telling us about how companies are clearancing out their 35mm cameras...

our camera uses a special battery--then we have the other one with rechargeables...

we haven't actually used a film camera since...my gosh I don't even know when, lol

& I heard the same thing about VCR's TOO!!! :eyepop

how funny... I've never seen or heard of this! wow.. Shell... I can't believe you even had one! is there anything you don't have? that's just great! I wish I could hear the noise!

I think most alarm clocks take 9-V for the backup if the electricity goes out... all mine do. I didn't know they were getting rid of film cameras though! I like digital, but they don't last as long as actual film! (I'm talking for history-sake) They said that a whole generation of photos will be lost because of digitals. Still... I love my digital! :wub: I just bought a DVD-VCR recorder. I'm converting all my VHS onto DVD. it's great, and it takes any kind of DVD disc (-R,-RW,+R,+RW). I know they're stopping with VCRs, so I don't want to lose my old home videos, ya know? :yogurt

Great Detective Work, Shell! :D

Hey, I let the kids use film cameras! I am not spending a ton of money on digital cameras for the whole family, LOL, so they get the ten dollar ones from Walgreens. I take in their film for developing and walk out of there with pictures and a free roll of film every time. It's half the cost of developing your film elsewhere since you have to buy film and pay for developing. And I feel like I haven't had any pictures to add to my photo album since my 35 mm film camera was stolen almost two years ago. I used to develop at least 2 rolls of film per month. Now, I don't and I don't even take cd's of images into Target to make prints on their Kodak machine. I'm afraid they won't turn out good or the machine won't take cd-r media. I hope they don't discontinue film cameras.

I actually had one of these. I might also still have it. I think that it stopped working, but it may just be a dead battery so I'll check on that.

Wow. Very cool! I hope it is just the battery :)

OMG. i remember those, reminded me of an ewok, i never had one, didn't like them

I totally agree with you mary,they do look like an Ewok. :sw4

I remember my Elementary school had a Chubbles one time. :wave
