Weekly Theme: 80's Toy Gimmicks

Slime
He-Man and The Real Ghostbusters




One of the trends in toys for the 80's was using some form of slime. Apparently boys thought it was cool to play with something goopy and messy. I definitely had some slime when I was growing up. I still remember the very distinctive aroma that it had. It didn't matter what color it was, it still smelled the same. The slime would always come packaged in a plastic barrel. He-man had a couple sets with the green slime, and The Real Ghostbusters had their red Ecto-Plazm. Toys sure were sticky back then.
