As one of the few plush dolls marketed to boys at the time, My Pet Monster was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s . The doll has blue fur, horns and a fanged smile, and is recognizable by its orange plastic handcuffs . The handcuffs could also be worn by children and came with a breakaway link so that the child could simulate breaking the chain . Several versions of the doll have been released in various sizes and other attributes . Other characters were also created with brightly colored fur and unorthodox names like Gwonk, Wogster and Rark . Their popularity allowed a wealth of merchandise including coloring books, Golden Look - Look books, frame - tray puzzles and various other items . </P> <P> Capitalizing on the nostalgia in many children of the' 80s, Toymax released a 22 - inch tall talking My Pet Monster doll in 2001 . </P>
