Happy holidays, Patronies! Before we get to this month’s main episode, it’s time for the December 2024 bonus show!

This month, we’re diving into a Kay-Bee Toys circular from the 1989 Christmas season! It was their “Dear Santa Sale,” with hot prices on everything from video games to action figures.

We’ve picked out six of our favorite things from the circular to chat about, from the Nintendo Game Boy to Police Academy figures, plus those wacky Purr-Tenders dolls. Jay also loses it over a Fisher-Price Cash Register.

Bonus points: We’ve also scanned and uploaded the entire Kay-Bee Toys “Dear Santa” circular, so you can look at everything they offered for the holidays in 1989. (And ogle the old school “drawn art” style!) Check it out over here!

We hope you enjoy the bonus show, and stay tuned – our big show will be dropping soon enough! Thanks for all of your tremendous support this year. We hope you’ve been having a grand holiday season, filled with Sugar Cookie Reese’s Cups and Cranberry Canada Dry!

Just what I needed to keep me company while I'm out plowing snow today. Thanks Matt and Jay!

John McGill

Thank you guys and have a Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

Derek McKnight

Are we getting xmas songs this year? 🙏

Michael

I don't even remember the ads for it, but just the sight of a drawing of the Turbo Typhoon fills me with a deep and primitive yearning

Denise A Ryan

The Purr Tenders! I didn't have the actual toys, but I got the Christmas toys from Burger King. I still put them out every Christmas. They hold little stockings.

Aaron Wester

My favorite notification of the month!

Dan Schoening

So many great items in this circular. I have to tip my hat to the C.O.P.S. toys for 6.99. They came with caps, such a nostalgic scent. Thanks for the run down, guys!

Anita

jeez louise, jay needs to learn how to be a better customer, lol.

I remember watching the OG Peewee stage show on Comedy Central back in the day and laughing my ass off at the Mr. Bungle bits from it. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. And that Christmassy Ghostbusters theme sounds amazing! Wish it was my ringtone during this time of the year

Loved my Game Boy and Tetris, and Kirby's Pinball was a good pinball game as well! I was a big Micro Machines kid, though it must have been just after they stopped using the fast talking guy (or I always tuned him out?), but I did love the little playsets too. Galoob made some great toys. Don't forget that Micro Machines had some crazy licenses, including Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien and Predator! Hell of a job their toy designers and sculptors did. Also a big fan of their distinctive logo and packaging designs. Good ep, guys! Thanks!

I watched the Police Aacademy cartoon when it first aired. The pilot was a tv movie and I remember loving the pilot's theme song, which I think was different than the Fat Boys theme from the regular series.

Angela Hensley

Ahhhh the cash register was my favorite too. Found one at the goodwill years ago and only took a pic to show my sister. I should have bought it. 😞

David Gregory

Omg, Jay and the purring had me on the floor. "Don't you think if I could do it, I would??" One of the funniest things ever!

Nick the Rat

Merry Christmas boys! See you next year. Truly one of the best podcasts out there.

I remember it being so hard to find the batman and joker figures, every time I was looking for them, there would only be a wall of Bob the Goon disappointments.

Jay may have failed with the micro machines reference, but he made my day with the Mr Bungle reference! Disco Volante is one of the most insane and original albums of all time. Please show Matt "Carry Stress in the Jaw", lol.

Derek McKnight

Whoa. I just realized they haven't done xmas songs since 2020. I miss that so much.

Jared Carlson

Micro Machines were one of the greatest toys in history and Jay should feel bad for denigrating them whatsoever.

Annie Davis

89 truly was all about Batman and the Game Boy. So many memories of each in that timing!

Matt Marron

IIRC, my brother and I both got Game Boys that Christmas. It was our first gaming system. I remember my brother beating "Super Mario Land" while we were at my grandparent's house with my cousins. My grandma was briefly obsessed with Tetris. I think my Dad got her a Game Boy for her next birthday. In '87 or '88, my grandparents bought me a real, used cash register. So I probably would have loved that checkout counter (even though I don't remember it). Although I was in the 4th grade that Christmas and that's clearly for little kids. I wonder if that's Fats Domino singing in that ad. It sounds like him and the song was clearly inspired by his hit "I'm Walkin'." Micro Machines were definitely big here in '89. My brother loved them, but I only liked a few. I was specifically fond of the "Back To The Future II" cars, as well as the cars and buildings that lit up. I remember that Christmas, my brother got the light-up fire and gas stations, and I got the Police station and a light-up car or two. Jay is right about the quality. Matchbox cars were more durable, but as I kid I didn't notice (nor would I have cared). I was a huge fan of the Police Academy movies back then. I rented them all the time from Applause and Blockbuster. Numbers 4 and 5 were my favorite. Weirdly, I do not remember the toys or cartoon.

“How many Bob The Goon’s do you need?!” 😆😆😆

I don't know if you guys ever plan to do another Q&A episode, but I would love to know what your current (and Past) collecting white whales have been?
