    I think Glo Worms are probably safe. I'm having trouble picturing a sexy bedbug. Frankly, I have a fairly dirty mind, so if I can't picture it, we might be in the clear.

    That cupcake doll picture is evoking olefactory memory impressions, which are supposedly impossible in humans.

    Also, at least they didn't give Twinkie a makeover. He's my favorite.

    @the_pest: I never even had one, but I am imagining the sickly-sweet plasticy baked smell now. I think a friend may have had one. I remember the popping sound they made with those stiff rubber skirts.

    I have olfactory memory impressions often, too. I think they're awesome. I see something, remember a smell, or smell something, and remember it. :D Maybe that's not the same thing as OMI, but close enough for me.

    Holy nostalgia thread Batman!

    I hate to say it, but when they made the slutty rainbow bright costume, they started the sexifying.
    That said, what the fuck? Why are they making her into a tween? Just let her be a colorful, cuddly little kid. Rabble Rabble.

    Also, does anyone recall the Littlest Pet Shop travesty?

    The eyes are FAR too small for manga - the proportions are fairly normal considering. I was just happy to see Latin.

    80's cartoons were the best although I wouldn't be surprised if the animators and writers were all cokeheads. What is up with the Bratz-ification of our memories? (Also, Sailor Moon is kind of awesome, but everything in its time and place. Tuxedo Mask was a completely stupid concept though. Who knew intergalatic warfare was white tie only?)

    @acookieaday: And Tuxedo Mask isn't even a name for a hero, anyway. It's more like a very short list of unrelated objects.

    @ladyfalcon is skin deep: That is pretty much the best description ever.

    YOU'RE NOT A SUPERHERO, TUXEDO MASK, YOU ARE A SHORT LIST OF OBJECTS, SO JUST CAN IT.

    The new Rainbow is like Bratz meets Lisa Frank meets 1996 Sketchers.

    Also, those Cupcake dolls smelled AMAZING.

    I was just watching the old Rainbow Brite cartoons, er I mean researching 80's nostalgia for my son and came across this horror. I don't like the new rainbow brite at all. I did some more er research and discovered that this new brite supposedly left rainbowland to return to her family on Earth. The real rainbow brite was an orphan and she would never have left her friends! Also, they renamed Twink to Twinkle! I call shenanigans on hallmark!!

    Oh yeah and they gave Moonglo a horse, which she did NOT have in the original. And the pink girl is Tickled Pink, she did have that horse, and she's totally in charge of sunsets and sunrises. But she never had a sprite.

    What, I was doing research, that's why I know all this.

    @ImDatNinja (loves her Red Sox): In my head, the Monchichi song always went:

    "Monchichi, Monchichi I can do karate, Monchichi, Monchichi oops I'm sorry!"

    I seriously remembered that's how the song went until a couple years ago when my sister told me I made it up as I was practicing my karate moves on her.
