The Loyal Subject is traveling back in time and bringing back some childhood nostalgia with some new retro collectibles. One of these releases is the return of Playskool's My Buddy doll, which was introduced in 1985 and was designed to teach boys that it was okay to have a doll to play with, too. Buddy featured a friendly face, sturdy body, and colorful overalls, appealing to children who wanted a companion to carry and play with him. My Buddy is an icon for the 80s and would even go on to inspire a franchise of deadly ideas with Child's Play. However, his popularity started to fade in the 1990s, but he would go on as a nostalgic toy from many kids' childhoods.
