anyone else remember those animated santa claus statues, i dont know if they were motion activated or if you just pressed the button for them to move, but i remember seeing them at K-Mart, i thought they were really neat, and when i went to the store i would walk down that isle where they would have them on display, and they really went with alot of detail in making a christmas display, even built a scale model snowy village, everytime i go there i could not wait until the day of christmas, it could not get here soon enough in my opinion. I think the following year they then had the halloween animated statues, frankenstein, wolfman, dracula, which to this day i still think they are great, i would have like to bought the wolfman one, but seeing those in late september that year got me really psyched for halloween, and i always had ideas of covering the whole town in one night, and wondered how the heck do those people on the makeup packaging are able to apply that stuff so well to their own faces where they actually look like dracula or a zombie. but every year i go to those department store displays and get really psyched about the oncoming hollidays

Yeah, I remember those GP. Still actually have a couple of the Halloween ones in storage. Pretty sure they still work too. Just haven't been able to use them for the past couple Halloweens.
Still enjoying reading all these stories. Let's hear some more...

Great topic! They were thick but only about 3-4 inches square. Does anybody remember those BIG LITTLE BOOKS? I enjoyed many of them as a youngster. Popeye was the bomb in my eyes but also had others like Bugs Bunny, Road Runner. They stayed on my headboard for many years and got tons of use.

i remember getting tootsie pops, and always checking the wrapper for a indian shooting a bow at a star, the reason why, was there was talk all around the school that if you found one these wrappers it was good for a free pop with purchase of another at the local candy shop, came across alot of wrappers that didnt have the indian, got to the point where i started to doubt the existance of the indian, then i finally found one, on a blue raspberry pop, my favorite flavor at the time to boot. took it to the store, told the guy im here to claim the free one, he said sorry kid we dont do that, someone told you wrong. i ended up buying one anyway slightly annoyed but i walked away thinking the whole thing was funny
i still look for the indian, even to this day

According to Wikipedia, Stitch, he was flattened in his sleep when the big bulletin board given to him and his younger brother Arthur by their father to display pictures as well as posters fell on him from the wall where it was hung over his bed.
I trust that that answers your question.
