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.
My Buddy is now back in 2025, standing at a mighty 14" tall, with his signature plus exterior for the right amount of hugs! Everything you love about this doll is back from his retro design and soft cuddling textures, and The Loyal Subjects even put the theme song lyrics on the packaging. A lot of classic toys are hitting their 40th anniversary this year, so it is pretty special to see releases like this coming from The Loyal Subjects. My Buddy is ready to return home once again in February 2025 for $34.99. He will be offered first-to-market at Walmart, followed by a wider release in Summer 2025.
