Was My Buddy The Inspiration For Chucky?
My Buddy was a doll for boys released by Hasbro in 1985. This was actually a controversial move as putting out a doll for boys had never been done before. This may all have roots in the video game crash of 1983, but became a massive best-seller. My Buddy may also have been the influence of Chucky in the Child's Play movies, and this episode looks at everything behind this toy.
