3-Introduced in 1981 (before the end of the decade, more than 150 million would be sold), the horses feature colorful bodies, manes and a unique symbol on one or both sides of their flanks (“cutie marks”).
4-Popular at Senior Centers and Catholic gatherings J, players match numbers printed in different arrangements on cards.

10-So … this is tough. I dropped off Baby Nancy and Tamagotchi (the other two for total of 12 on the list) in favor of these. Both Joni and I would be likely collectors of these models of a favorite animal. Get as close as you can because I’m thinking most likely no one will get the brand here!
