As someone born smack dab in the middle of-80s, I wasnāt quite āpresentā for the launch of My Buddy, but I definitely remember the commercials for it that were still going strong by the time the 90s kicked off and I was watching Maya the Bee on Nickelodeon.
A new very retro looking one is on store shelves, but it seems like a lot of nostalgia purchasing and not something going into the hands of a new generation.
In the 80's you could find cartoons on weekday tv from 3 - 5 pm. And the Joan Lunden ad was excellent, right out of TV Guide or other magazine of the period.

I never wanted any of the dolls, and thankfully never had one.
But oh, that song has never left me after all these years. lol
So much Kindertrauma thanks to Chucky. I can't even look at many dolls, least of all a My Buddy doll.
My Buddy would 100% be outlawed in at least 25-30 states if it were introduced today. Would love to see it make a comeback.
Why?
Because certain people couldnāt handle a boy playing with a boy doll without attaching labels to that activity.

Of all things that were out when I was a kid, I never wanted one of these
