I figured you might have left Polly out because there are other sites devoted to her, but I thought it still might be worth suggesting since it was such a popular toy.
And Sky Dancers! I just found one of my two full-sized ones recently and a bunch of other little figurines of them the other day in my old stuff. Man, those things are fun. I flew mine around the room for like an hour when I found her. :P I would definitely love to see them here because I can ID the full-sized ones pretty easily, but I have a lot of random mini ones that are harder.
-
Pink-aisle.com used to be like the DEFINITIVE site for Sky-Dancers. But it just *poof* disappeared one day. :(
I know that it's a toy that had a bunch of recall problems...
-
I would have suggested Sky Dancers too, because I would love for there to be a good, current skydancers site. They are just so hard! They. All. Look. Alike.
I pull out mine and it boggles my mind. How many combinations of pink, purple, and green can there be?
Buuut, that being said... I would love to see a page on them :)
They did have recall problems though, like Zuse said- I looked it up recently because I was, well, trying to find a guide, and the injuries included cornea damage, severe lacerations, and cracked ribs.
If it wasn't so gruesome, it would be pretty funny. It kind of is anyway :P Flying ballerinas... OF DEATH.
-
LOL @ flying ballerinas of death. ;D I remember the recall thing because my grandmother knew I had these and made a big deal about it--crazy stuff! Cornea damage I can MAYBE understand, but cracked ribs--were they playing with them on the edge of a cliff? All I know is that mine never spun out of control and turned on me, and they never hurt my older brother and I aimed them at him all the time. ;D
I also found out recently that they started making these again. Supposedly they redesigned them to make them safer-I think they're just smaller, and of course they've updated the faces and clothes and whatnot. They're not as pretty. *pouts*
-
I have one of the newer ones. Her stand even blew bubbles! Well.. it was supposed to, but I could never get it to work.
I think the only thing they did to make them safer is put in a locking mechanism so that if they are not pointed upward they won't fly. I was really disappointed. Half of the fun was aiming them at people. v.v
I also have/had(?) a board game and a video of the cartoon. I really like what I've seen of the cartoon. I wanna get more.
-
I Had So Many Of These. I Would Like To Atleast See Pics Of The Ones I Used To Have. The Problem With Adding Them To The Site Would Be That They Came Out With So Many Different Ones And Now A Days You Barely Find Anything On Them (Atleast Its Better Than Trying To Find Anything On Merwees)
-
I went ahead and uploaded my Skydancers to an album if anybody just wants to look at them for fun :) Here is the link: http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/zap18/Myphotos/Skydancers/
I also uploaded my lanard fakies of them: http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/zap18/Myphotos/Skydancers/Lanard%20Fakies/
And my modern ones:

A lot of them could use a trip to the beauty parlor, and some of the pics are bad depending on my concentration when I took them :P At any rate, enjoy!
-
I Had The 7th And 17th Pic. I Had Another Mini One With Turquoise Hair And Pink Outfit
-
Oooh thanks so much zap! I had no idea there were so many but both of my full-sized ones are there. I also don't remember any male skydancers! Great pictures.
-
Me Neither. I Have Never Seen Any Male Ones Until Now. Thanks Zap
-
Man Skydancers!? I never knew!
-
I always found myself more interested in the launcher than I did the doll. They were so neat looking sometimes. :) By the way, this thread made me XD.
I think the newer ones have "foam" wings.
-Em
-
Well, from looking at zappy's images, maybe it won't be too difficult to ID all of them.. As long as we can get a back of box pic from however many lines there were..
-
I know in addition to the sky dancers they had a version for boys called dragon flyz or something simluar to that.
-
Yup. I remember those too. There was even a cartoon for them!

-
Oh yes!! There is one of those in my brother's room. His lights up.

-
The Sky Dancers cartoon was what I remember the most. I really liked it.
-
Me too! I have the first 2(?) eps on vhs. I've never actually seen the Dragon Flyz one though.
-
We had some of the sky dancers one was a wind up and few like a bird our cat would try to catch it . I was fun to watch him try to get it.
-
Do an archive.org search for Galoob.com! Look at the pages in the early 90s! They're almost completely intact!
Example: Link (http://web.archive.org/web/19980213041534/galoob.com/SD02.html)
-
That was neat! There are a lot more of them than that, but it's a start!
-
-
Lanard did a knock off line of the Sky Dancers as well- in my album, you can tell them by the fact that they have four wings instead of the two.
-
Ooh I see. :)
-Em
-
WOW polly pockets yeah i think most girls in the 90s owned at least one i think between me and my sisters we had over 50 lol.
i never had a sky dancer think i was a bit too old for them but my little sister who is 8years younger than me totally loved them. still has videos of the series but i dont know if she still has her dolls will have to ask her but she had LOADS!!!very spoilt with them but i dont think they cost that much? xxx

I was looking through a few toys at my parent's on Thanksgiving and found this:

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd487/Mysstica/Ghost%20of%20the%20Doll/barbiehair022.jpg)
I guess that one of my brothers had a Dragon Flyz! :D
-
Here's one on ebay WITH the launcher. Wow, what a beast!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-Flyz-Action-Figure-Brand-New-/230707471671?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b73ca537
This one has a picture of the back of the box - looks like they WERE sold with and without the launcher. :D
