Kmart relaunches Sky Dancers the iconic 90s toy that landed a lot of children in trouble

Kmart fans are in a frenzy over the retailer’s latest toy release – which includes an iconic must-have from the nineties.

Sky Dancers have spun their ways back onto the shelves after a 22-year hiatus from toy shops world wide – but it appears they haven’t been forgotten.

A Kmart shopper headed to Facebook to post about the retro toy’s triumphant return in a simple yet quickly viral post.

‘Sky Dancers are back!!! Runnnnnn the wait is over,’ she wrote alongside a picture of the five available models.

The post triggered a tsunami of support for the toys which were sold between 1994 and 2000 at most of the country’s major toy stores. 

‘I’m getting the girls these! This was my childhood toy,’ one woman said, excited.

‘Don’t worry about my 4yr old, I’m getting one,’ another woman confessed.

The dolls are mounted onto a decorative spinner base. When the cord is pulled the dolls spin so fast the arms or wings pop out and they soar launch from the base and into the air. 

But it appeared people had as many bad stories as good, with the toy responsible for kids of the nineties ‘getting in a lot of trouble’.

‘Stopppp it… brings back memories of my childhood and smashing many lightbulbs and getting a smack for it from my mum,’ one woman said.

‘Oh dear God I loved them! But one got stuck in my hair as a kid and had to be chopped out, the one and only mullet I ever had,’ said another. 

‘Hahaha my childhood lives again….my dad will still hate these,’ giggled another. 

The new Sky Dancers are $20 each – the price of the doll has varied over the years with models ranging from $8-$25 each.
