Our friends over at Toy Wishes Magazine pointed out the following to us:
Toy favorites across the US are aging before our eyes! Fan favorites such as Dora the Explorer and Strawberry Shortcake just got a toy makeover, does this mean the following toys celebrating milestone birthdays will resort to plastic surgery as well?
- Pinocchio’s 70th Birthday
- Barbie’s 50th Birthday
- Star Wars 30th Birthday
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 25th Birthday
- Sponge Bob’s 10th Birthday
Does this list start to make you feel old or what. I had no idea that Sponge Bob was even out for close to 10 years (I should have since I’m now forced to watch at least one episode every day.) Pinocchio’s nose has dry rotted and Barbie has hit the big 5-0.
What do you think about this list?
I’m old — that’s how I feel. LOL

Toys aren’t what they used to be…
I wonder how old Transformers, GI Joe, Mr. Potato Head, Legos and Weebles are?
I don’t feel old…I feel like a Weeble (we may wobble, but we don’t fall. LOL)
Weebles? I never heard heard of them…

You know…the big blow up oblong plastic toy that you could stand up and beat on, and it would wobble, but no matter how much you beat it to the ground, it would get back up. Check out the small ones at https://www.feelingretro.com/toys/images/weebles.gif.
Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall, AAM! You gotta check one out!
SpongeBob is 10 years old?!?! I’m 23 and, so shouldn’t I remember some of this?
And if SpongeBob is 10, how old is Barney???
*off to Wikipedia to check…*
And….I’m back.
Barney’s been around since 1992?!?! Since I was seven? Geez…Wow, I feel OLD now.

Now I feel old too! LOL But TMNT shouldn’t be 25! I’m only 27! I remember watching them when I was around 7 so I could believe 20 but 25?!?
