If you didn't get the My Pet Monster for Xmas, you might get the Teddy Ruxpin, or the Madballs, or the Micro Machines Tool Box Playset, or Heman's Castle Greyskull Playset or a Ghostbuster's Proton Pack, but by the next birthday or Xmas, there was something else that would catch your eye and My Pet Monster would be yesterday's news. Plus, if you had a friend who had the toy, especially if it was a friend you'd visit constantly, there wasn't much point in getting one for yourself.
