Oh no! Is it like the Velveteen Rabbit?
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I still have my felt alligator "The Professor" on my bed (at the end of it), though he lost his professorial spectacles decades ago.
I also have a knit snake that I don't think I ever named, but he was always more of something I'd drape on something rather than have as a snuggle critter.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I still have Softy, the Koala bear I got when I had my tonsils out when I was 5.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh, I still have my teddy bear and there are several things still at my parents' house, but I can see mac wanting to keep every blasted cheap plastic object.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I still have Softy, the Koala bear I got when I had my tonsils out when I was 5.
Awwww. Just imagining post-tonsillar 5-year-old Perkins with her Softy is making me want to smish grown-up Perkins to bits.
I still have my two dogs Snoopy and Napoleon (mine is much more beat-up than the one in that picture), and the nameless but beloved lop-eared bunny puppet, all here, and Shaw the Scottie is somewhere in storage at my dad's house. There's also a kitten called Caramel who was carnally assaulted by my actual lop-eared rabbit during my senior year of college.

Because books.
My Snoopy is long gone, sadly. Water damage. But he was well-loved for a very long time. He was really my one and only stuffed animal buddy. He had clothes and everything!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My oldest toy is my crossdressing Doggie. The original terrycloth Doggie was dressed in boy clothes. He was my thumbsucking companion and thus I was bereft when he, well worn, had to be retired after his ear could no longer be resewn. When we went to buy Doggie`s replacement there were a whole bin of Doggies! But in pink and yellow dresses. While it turns out that toddler me was perfectly fine with reassigning Doggie`s gender, I knew that the pink dress was unsuitable, so we compromised on yellow. Anyway, I still have him. Dressed in his boy clothes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't have any toys, but I do have a lot of my childhood books.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The barbies are long gone as are all of the board games, but I saved my favorite stuffed animals, and my mom saved a lot of the books and puzzles. When I gave my bears to my kids to play with, I introduced them by name because they DO have names.

I do have a lot of my childhood books.
I have the first book I ever read,(children's Bible stories as mandated by the grandmother...Earned me a D in deportment for trying to teach my kindergarten classmates how to read) plus Richard Scarry nursery rhymes and children's stories. (Pierre Bear, specifically)
Tangentially on topic. I never read a Disney book or film 'novelization' until I was an adult.
I can't exactly remember which was the first movie I saw, but I'm pretty sure it was Barbarella. Yeah, that was my childhood.
