We often say to “clear some shelf space,” and this time we’re pretty serious, especially if you’re a fan of ’80s nostalgia.
Last month, our sister publication, The Toy Book, exclusively revealed that The Loyal Subjects (TLS) and Hasbro inked a deal to revive numerous fan-favorite brands, including M.A.S.K., Jem and The Holograms, R.O.M., Popples, Playskool’s My Buddy, and more.
Now, The Pop Insider has the intel on when collectors can score some must-have merch from this epic collaboration.
On February 1, 2025, kidults can start hunting their local Walmart toy departments for the return of Playskool’s My Buddy and Jem and the Holograms, just in time for their 40th anniversary!
According to TLS, My Buddy is an 18-inch remake of the original while the 12-inch Jem dolls feature upgrades including the iconic theme song playing at the push of a button through the doll’s stand.
M.A.S.K. is also celebrating the big 4-0 and will follow in the summer with a range of action figures and vehicles that replicates the originals with some modern upgrades.
Fans looking for Popples and My Pet Monster can stay tuned for new products next fall.
No word yet on when R.O.M the Space Knight will be back in action.
