Title: Need help finding childhood toy
Post by: starrynights on June 13, 2022, 04:33:50 PM: I've been trying to find one of my favorite toys from childhood but no luck... I have a lot of sentimental value to this toy line because my late grandma got me it.

2000s era, came in a two pack from probably Walmart. Packaging was plastic on a card.
Two hard plastic puppies standing up in tutus, probably ballerina or princess themed. One was blue the other purple or pink. May have been on a spin top.
I'm sure it wasn't LPS or Disney.

Does this description ring a bell for anyone?

I think I remember it being named in a thread on here listing discontinued doll lines but I can't find the thread...

Ended toy lines (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,395090.0.html)

Underrated doll lines (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,402627.0.html)

Thank you for the links, though :)

I took a look there and sadly couldn't find anything.
Thank you for the suggestion though :)

You’re welcome! I’m sorry you couldn’t find it - hope someone else know more :)

I know that sounds odd, but there are groups dedicated to finds/sales/items in Aldi and Lidl as well as discount and pound/dollar stores, so it might be worth asking them??

I've never heard of those! Where can I find them?
