Have I gone mad, or is this an old toy those born in 70's would know?

I just happened to see this today and something deep stirred within me, I am sure I had one, and I loved its smell and its feet and I was fascinated with the combo of soft toy but also doll....

I still have mine and my brothers.

Chicka chicks chickaboo.
Furry and cuddly they love you.
I had one that clipped onto my pencils

MacaYoni so glad someone else remembers them and that they weren't a crazy childhood dream

I'm a 1970's baby and i've still got mine :)

could never remember what they were called though.

OMG, Monchichi! I started humming the song

Oh God, they FREAKED me right out as a child. Plastic faces and fur, just wrong, wrong, wrong diddly wrong wrong.

I had one.

3 of them were waiting in the back of our car before a holiday journey. Dsis's and I spent the next 15 mins arguing over who had the one with the bow! DM then sewed two bows to the remaining 2 for a quiet life...

Mine had a thumb like a dummy that stuck in it's mouth. I may even still have it in the loft!

I'm a 70s kid and still have mine too! A boy and a girl with a couple of outfits and furniture (a rocking horse and a rocking chair if I remember correctly), I think they're in DS's bedroom somewhere.

I'm a child of the 70s and I still have had one of these and it was my bestest favourite thing that I still had as my teddy until I was 25 16 or so. It went totally bald, its bow and tuft of hair fell off and the dog chewed its foot, but it was my precious.

I have also got myself the DC some cute Japanese ones, dressed in raccoon suits and rabbits suits.

spicey

I am sure I remember baldness too.
I am going to get mine tomorrow, I hope I am not disappointed by its side. not that it matters to me, its for dd

i had one. Had being the operative word. I accidentally dropped it down the well at Conwy Castle. Probably still there floating in the depths.

I had a few of these, including a giant 2 ft tall one. I call Dd chickaboo as a NN!

Cheeka, cheeka, cheekaboo,
Furry and cuddly, we love you.

Got the ad jingle stuck in my head now...

I was a child in the 70s, loved my Monchichi AND still have it! It is in a box in the attic cause its head fell off and all these little beads came out. I loved it too much!

Monchichi, monchichi
Oh, so soft and cuddly!

Picked mine up today.

It feels better somehow to have one back in the house.

Have got a mini white clip on one, which was in a dressing table in my old bedroom at my granny's house...she kept it all as it was till she died.

Found it together with various sets of knickers and hankies, and some pens and some Wombles talc

Yes they were all the rage when I was about 8 or 9 (born 1972 ). I got one on EBay a few years back.

Aw spicy, it was your velveteen rabbit and you loved it real.

Wombles talc

I also remember:

Shaker maker
Spirograph
Boxing Robots game (where their heads popped up)
Mousetrap
Mousey Mousey
Toy typewriters
Record players in the carry-box
Rubber stamps
Post office sets
Buckeroo
Huggy Bear
Paddington Bear anything

I had one of them until I left her in the garden centre toilet. I was heartbroken at the time. I'm 39 now and still feel sad when I think about it.

I still have Huggy Bear, nicename! Odd thing it is.
