Mattel PJ Sparkles Commercial 1988

[glitteratzichik]

I had her when I was a little girl!!!

[snowsorceress]

I pretty much screamed in glee when I got this Christmas day! Remember it like it was yesterday!

[sexxyperv]

you can tell that this is around the time that Mattel started running out of ideas...

[awoodson85]

ooohhhh!! i had the black one and i cherished that doll even after the batteries died, Christmas 1990 was it! lol



[Xandyr]

So apparently Jordin Sparks's brother PJ plays football at my college. When I heard I was like, "WTF PJ Sparkles plays football??"

[MissBlooSky]

OMG! I had this doll in the nineties thanks to a hand-me down from an older family friend. I never knew what her real name was until I saw this video! I always called mine Jessica lol

[Caramelle22]

I had that doll.. asked it for Christmas and I had it.. i was only.. 5 year old.. daaayyuummmmm

[hwq99818]

How can u sleep with That glowing??

[armybrat585]

@hwq99818 Lol. definitely can't sleep if youre prone to seizures.

[MichaelMorbius4ever]

I have my sister's in my closet, pretty sure the batteries haven't died yet.

[MiniWolfsbane]

Hmm. I think I vaugely remember this from when I was 4. I don't think I had one though. Not at 4. I was still hangin' with my cabbage patch doll (that I still have.)

[dteach08]

Best Christmas Eva was when I get this doll in '88.

[essynce]

Loved mine... Sadly, I thought I was a beautician and cut all her hair off.. and attempted to draw designs on her dress. Miss you Pj!!

[Vanyaloth]

The one thing I will always remember about getting this doll for my 5th birthday is thinking that "batteries not included" meant batteries not required. And my parents saying "well we put some in anyway, just in case". LoL

[Reinarei]

Ah memories! I loved mine so much and then I decided to experiment on her face with a blue ball point pen...I drew tattoos and "makeup"...My kid self was an asshole. Sorry PJ Sparkles, I'm so sorry!

[Cerridwen247]

This doll proved to me that Santa wasn't real. But damn did we have the best toys back in the 80's. I feel sorry for my kids.

[Nickygurl83]

I had that doll as a kid, one day decided to take her in the bath with me and she died!!!! :(

[DeadRaymanWalking]

Me and my sister got this doll for Christmas in 1989. Sadly, we threw her out in 1993.

[starXelfXyeshua]

OMG OMG OMG i LOVED this doll as a little girl. :D girly-girls rule 4ever :D

[crystallica83]

this song gets stuck in my head randomly......

[TheMischagirl]

omg i still have my pj sparkles doll and she still works;) btw the blonde girl looks like drew barrymore;)

[Duckyxlovesxgum]

Awe My sister had this doll, then one day I put her in water and she died...

[ErinEliseSmith]

I had this doll! Oh man, those seizure inducing lights were really awesome.

[y0itzASH]

I had her!!

[cholpankapov]

I still have mine! It's about 23 years old!

[MultiSinoda]

Gold with sparkles. shine your love on me. shine shine shine. ^__^

[MultiSinoda]

the tune was catchy as fuck. my mom got one back in the day. a lover of dolls.

[MultiSinoda]

@MultiSinoda the song is catchy as fuck also. sounds like some joint for a mid 90s anime. : D

[BagOfMagicFood]

@MultiSinoda Aw, I liked the song from the PJ Sparkles cartoon better.

[sweetness48]

Holy...that girl would be my age today. Eeek, feeling pretty old right now! :|

[Dangturtle]

Rofl, me and a friend took one of these apart to see how it worked. By the time we were done she looked like a fucking terminator about to die, with lights just flashing all over a wrecked plastic body.

Fun times.

[DarthAzmul]

Thumbs up if cracked sent you here!

[poutaine]

I totally remember this commercial. I was six years old when this doll came out and it creeped me out. Any doll that required batteries was creepy.

[Floatie114]

Every girl who was anything had this doll!

[RachelF19]

I REMEMBER THIS !!!!

[theowlsarefun]

Her dress becomes a nightie?!?! MUST HAVE!!!!

[WickedWonder1979]

My little sister had this! wow, I still remember this song too

[MISSMONROE86]

I had this one when I was a lil girl, recently found the african american one. Now im in search of the white one again :)

[missykissez]

I was givein this doll by my cousin which I still have! ok! Lolz

[Saranm25]

I had one of those! Does anyone remember the doll with the pony tail that you could adjust by moving the arm up and down?

[HellcatEm]

i wanted this doll so bad :(

[LipstickNLiquorTV]

FUCK!!!! SHE WAS THE SHIT PERIOD I HAD THE BLACK 1

[DanceIam87]

@LipstickNLiquorTV <<<< Me too!!! i still have mine she's 23 y/o

[liteskinnededgal]

I had the doll! Can't believe that was 1988...

[speeeee35]

I got this doll when I was 4 and still have it in my room (I'm 24) on the shelf... One of the few toys I couldn't bare to get rid of. This song seriously haunts my dreams... and I remembered all the words, even before watching this now HAHAHA... Weird, the things that stay in your head from childhood....

PS- The one I have now STILL lights up!!! Very faintly, but I haven't changed the batteries since I was about 5 so that's impressive. I bet if I put in new batteries it would light up like new!

[kayleegirl4]

@speeeee35 totally go for cahnging the doll's batteries :D i bet she would light up like new, and if you haven't changed the dolls batteries since you were young, i'm very impressed ^_^

[kawaiihoney09]

omg i had that doll before

[nicejenny83]

That song has been in my head for years...PJ Sparkles...Shine the light on me...Shine Shine Shine. I loved that doll :)

[YTLOVER02]

I WANTED THAT DOLL AS A CHILD, TOO.

[raggedyanarchist]

@tvnutboy Brilliant. Who knew PJ Sparkles was political-minded... or an alt rocker for that matter?

[blackkat77]

I wanted this doll SOOO BADLY as a kid!

[MichaelMorbius4ever]

My older sister had this, I have it now in my closet. I didn't think the doll was an 80's toy nor did I know she had her own series. A very cool find.

[TheMischagirl]

omg i still have her;)

[amalthea25]

I miss my PJ Sparkles

[bambolina2005]

[raggedyanarchist]

[amalthea25]

@raggedyanarchist LMAO

[ColombianMamacita]

[momtothemom]

Drew Barrymore for sure!

[mzelizabeth01]

[RavenFilms]

i wanted that... never got it though

[Diznena]

drew barrymore?

[raggedyanarchist]

@Diznena No... she'd have already been 13 by 1988. Definitely bears a resemblance though!

[wishingstar22]

I had one of these.
