These things.

These. Things. Were. The. Best.

Cute little animals that had playhouses more affordable than Barbie doll houses??? Fantastic. 100/10 stars.

It all started when our next-door neighbor at the time introduced them. She's a good eighteen months older than me, but dang did she have great taste in toys.

Then, my sister got this set for her birthday, and the rest is history:

I got this set for my birthday, and we used it for most of our High School Musical-esque games:

You'd give that blue thing with the logo a few turns, and the column on the center would spin. It was glorious.
We got this set here, and the dog on the right was the mean popular girl, while the one on the left was her bumbling sister.

That same birthday I got a TV game that fans with an owl, and it was *chef's kiss*.

My sister and I got many, many more. Some of which include:

My mom got me a set like this ^^^^ and gosh the pets were easy to lose, but I LOVED it. When we lived in San Antonio and she got surgery, I got a set that came with a bunch of cats, my favorite of which was black and white and had green eyes (not pictured).

That one ^^^ was one of my first pets. Fantastic.

This set. This set was a dream come true. ^^^^

But my most favorite LPS that was even my special interest and I would draw it in my notebooks and write about it was.... *drumroll.......*

This here tortoise. She was cute, her car was fueled by polluted air (and turned the polluted air into clean air), and she won every race she entered. I loved her.

The point is, LSPs were my childhood.

Oh, and I am completely convinced that the girl dolls they made were the downfall of the brand. I definitely had no use for them, since my pets were THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND NEEDED NO OWNERS. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
