Spinning Toy Dolls

'Sky Dancers,' the Flying Toy Dolls from the 90s, Are Back in Stock

— October 20, 2022 — Life-Stages
Kmart recently relaunched the iconic ‘Sky Dancers’ toys from the ‘90s again, and fans of the franchise are overjoyed. ‘Sky Dancers,’ a line of toy dolls that spin and fly, were sold as children’s toys in Australia through the ‘90s and early 2000s and then discontinued for 22 years. Now, Kmart customers can purchase their very own ‘Sky Dancer’ due to a relaunch of the popular toy. Many consumers have expressed interest in gifting these dolls to their children as a reminder of what kinds of toys their parents used to enjoy.

The successful relaunch of ‘Sky Dancers’ influenced consumers to share personal stories about their experiences with the dolls. The ‘Sky Dancers’ toys are a prime example of the weight nostalgia can carry in the toy and games market, as consumers tend to flock to “vintage” or old editions of toys from the past in order to achieve this feeling.

The new 'Sky Dancers' from Kmart are now available for $20 AUD each.
