In fairy kei, vintage toys and cartoons are one of the most popular motifs! But why is that?
It's simple! There are so many cute, pastel toys with super dreamy details that work perfectly for fairy kei! Today, i'll show you some of the most popular vintage toys with the fairy kei community, including some of my favourites!!

Magic Nursery Pets were made by Mattel in the late 1980's; they belonged to a larger series of toys, but the animals are the most popular in the fairy kei community due to their pastel colours and sweet faces! There were four colours featured in this series; peach, mint, purple and pink! There were also four animal types; bears, bunnies, puppies and cats. A lot of details on the plushies were slightly different, from different belly buttons, to eye-shadow colours! I personally love the mint coloured plushies; I think they're super sweet!
Twinkle bears are absolutely adorable plush bears with a twinkling plate on their tummies. They lit up by either touching their nose or feeding them with from the bottle they each came with. Their soft pastel colours and adorable faces make them really popular, and I personally love them a lot! These particular toys are quite elusive now a days, and tend to go for a lot of money; they're super cute though and would be perfect in any vintage toy collection!

Popples were another cute vintage toy created by Mattel and were released in 1986. They were a series of plush toys that could be pushed inside it's own pouch to create a furry ball! They're super cute and come in a range of colours; often the pastel versions are popular in the fairy kei community, such as the baby popples and the slumber party popples! My favourites are Crisby the Baby Popple and Potato Chip from the original series!

Tea Bunnies were originally produced by Tomy at around 1995; they are a set of pose-able plastic bunnies which came with tea cups that doubled at shops! Each Tea Bunny has a dress, plastic hat, bunny sized tea cup and a large tea cup and saucer. The hat has two holes on the top so the bunnies ears can fit through; the hats also work as roofs for the large tea cups. I personally find these cute toys to be underrated; the soft pastel colours, sweet flower themes and the small details are super sweet! I really like Daisy Breeze the yellow bunny and Pansy Parfait the mint bunny!
