Cabbage Patch Kids and Jem may have rocked your world, but what about Maxie dolls?
Sea Wees
Made by: Kenner (1979–1984)
What the heck were they: These adorable little mermaid dolls made bath time great! There were three initial dolls in the line: Sandy, Coral, and Shelly, and each came with her own floating lily pad–shaped sponge and comb (of course).
Sea Wees Tropigals commercial:
Pillow People
Made by: Springs Industries (mid-‘80s)
What the heck were they: Much like the Glo Worm, these soft stuffed toys were designed to help kids sleep. They were basically decorative pillows you played with, so they weren’t as exciting as the commercial would make them seem.
