Sky Dancers (1990)

I also can remember the Sky Dancers series on t.v with Jade 'Camille 'Angelica ,Breeze and Slam as the focal points oh and Queen Skyla too

I remember these so well! I even remember telling my mom that they're beautiful when I was asking for one lol

OMG I had a sky dancer I got it fro christmas and I like played with it all the time in my yard

I had the blue one with the dolphin. Me and a bunch of friends were over at someone's house playing with them, and one of the sky dancers flew up and smashed the overhead light.

I totally remember these. I don't think I had one though. If I did, it's probably gone somewhere.

there was one point in time when one of the bases went flying at my sisters head and I never saw the sky dancers again

Ah, one of my favorite toys as a kid. Me and my sister were playing with her in our play room..she flew across the room and was never seen again..

I had ALL of these. I wish I would have kept all of my old toys!

I got a Sky Dancer for Christmas one year when I was 11.

my mom bought rachael a bunch of sky dancers. dolls and launcher sets and she's playing these toys when rachael was little.

I had the black one, too. I had all of them actually. They are beautiful. My mom loved them so much that she bought them all for me and my twin sister for our 10th birthday.

I have the new Angelica Sky Dancer and the Skydancers cartooon on DVD!
I love Sky Dancers!

I totally had the one with the crescent moon base

oh wow I remember I had the wave one and I use to chew on the foam wings when they wouldnt fly

omg I still have my sky dancer on top of my entertainment center i had the cool looking one with the base that was either a wave or something like that.

I had the one with the green flowery handle

LoL. I remember these! I remember my cousin had one and we would fly them down the stairs..except it was kinda funny cause sometimes they just wouldn't work (flying) so they would rather crash and fall down the stairs haha. Brings back good memories!

I had one of those I also had a coloring book of it that I got when I was sick and it came with a Sky Dancers lead pencil. So many memories....

My mom got this for my birthday and I was soooo happy.

I still think it's a cool toy

them things are dangerous haha but fun

i rather enjoyed the manual version of this. the one you spin using your palms, like if you were starting a fire with a stick. way more self-gratifying

lmao.

lol, i never had one of them, but i remember a friend did.

ohhh man, i had like 3 of these. i got sick of them quick though lol

I though they were cool, until one of them sonofabitchin things hit me in the eye

Those things were awesome. I never had one though...

Boys thought Sky Dancers were awesome, but could never admit it. Hence the creation of Dragon Flyz.

These were lethal weapons. If they whacked you in the face they could break your nose. If you flew them indoors they were guaranteed to smash something. I loved them though and had a a ton of them. I still have two MIB.

I STILL have mine, it's the one with the moon-shaped launcher.

Psht, they haven't improved. They're ugly as sin, now. They were so pretty back in the '90s'. I had two of them.

All those problems were the reason they were recalled. They're back, though, so maybe they've improved.

"They're beautiful..." Gee, really? People with purple hair that sticks up a half a mile are beautiful? I thought this was in the 90s, not the 80s... o_O

But, anywho... I used to LOVE Sky Dancers. In fact, I'm almost inclined to buy one since they re-released them... I saw some in Wal-mart not too long ago.

Glorified puddle jumpers is all that is. The they made a cartoon about 'em.

I never had the toy, but I do remember the cartoon. I also remember a fast food chain offering Sky Dancer toys with the kids meals and I was slightly perturbed that mine didn't fly.

I had one of these, and a Dragonflyz toy, when I was young! I also tried catching it by the base, like dalmatianlover did! Also, the Sky Dancers toys look like exotic dancers nowadays.

I still have mine and it still works.

Do they ever come down?

OMG i still have mines. I got the blue dolphin one. I practiced so hard to always catch it by the base... I wonder where i put it.

Ah loved the idea of these but as the recalls website says:

Galoob® has received 170 reports of the dolls striking children and adults resulting in 150 reports of injuries. They include eye injuries, including scratched corneas and incidents of temporary blindness, broken teeth, a mild concussion, a broken rib, and facial lacerations that required stitches.

I had a bunch of these too! I remember I set one off in my moms car and the bottom of it hurt my brother...they were a little dangerous..

I had one of these! I loved it!

Meh, they weren't dangerous. The wings were made of foam. I had the dolphin launcher. I practiced catching it at the base so it would spin in my hand.

I just realized ~ I think the announcer for this commercial is the voice of Playhouse Disney...

I had these in Pre-K... so many kids got hurt... They're "hip" again, they're still kinda dangerous.

Isn't there more to dancing than just sort of... twirling around in the air for a few seconds? And smelling fruity?
