Do you remember Kitchen Littles? They were, possibly, the coolest Barbie-sized accessories ever sold in the mass market. They were detailed, adorable Kitchen appliances and tiny detailed kitchen foods sold in the mid 1990s. Kitchen Littles disappeared from the market place for nearly a decade, so imagine my glee when I stopped by the International Playthings booth at Toy Fair 2008 and saw that they were bringing back the line! The new Kitchen Littles are very cool, but not quite as cool as the originals which used real, licensed brands on their mini food (such as Lays Potato Chips, Del Monte and Bird's Eye). The new Kitchen Littles do use some die-cast metal, just as the originals did! If you'd like to see the original Kitchen Litles, check out this original Kitchen Littles commercial from Retro Junk

This is massively awesome news, thank you so much for breaking it to us. I will be counting down the days until the new KL sets become available (though as a Canadian it might take bit longer for them to make their way up to my neck of the woods).
