N0! NO! I don't! Even if I hadn't been way too old for them when they came out, I thought they were hideous little things.
However, I am a) a collector of Fisher-Price and therefore know the value of toys, b) materialistic and think that increasing one's net worth is a good idea, and c) a watcher of the Antiques Roadshow (either version, but I prefer the British one). The idea of devaluing something that is currently selling for more than its original cost is completely anathema. I don't get it, and I cringe whenever I see it. It's like removing the original finish from an antique oak table -- just plain WRONG.
Although it could definitely be worse -- for example, if someone had desecrated mint condition Star Wars figures. *shudder*
