My Pet Monster: If it's Ugly or Smells, it Sells...

My Pet Monster came out of an interesting era. It was a time when there was a move away from video games and a return to more traditional toys like dolls and stuffed animals. Combine this with a focus on gross-out products and it set the stage for a pretty unique, but beloved toy and cartoon series. This is a look back on My Pet Monster, the brand that didn't take the traditional route as other 1980s toys, but still managed to carve out its own piece of 1980s pop culture nostalgia Bonus 1980s Content: Patreon.com/80s Artwork: Janet Cordahi Learn more about your ad choices.
