[Answered - Both!] Sweet Secrets: Galoob or Blue-Box??
« on: Tuesday 21 February 2012, 11:41 am »
This may have been covered before but I cannot find any info. Galoob Sweet Secrets v Blue-Box Sweet Secrets: what's the history here?? I have had two Hairdryer/BBQ playsets (same design, different colours) made by each company. I know Hasbro bought out Galoob but I am not sure how Blue-Box came into it.

I have also wondered that. And I don't think I ever figured it out?

Galoob made the first Sweet Secrets toys in the 80's. They were rereleased much later under Blue Box because Galoob was one of the companies absorbed by Hasbro in 1998.
I have the little star horse from the rereleased line. He's mint green instead of the original pink. I think I bought him in 2003.
There is also a 2007 line made by Play-along toys.
