Sky Dancers were released in 1994 by Galoob. They were also featured in an animated show, a children's book series, and a Game Boy Advance game, but you'd probably best recognize them from a viral video in which a girl using a similar toy called a 'Flutterbye Fairy' lost it to a fireplace.
Drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova also once lovingly referred to the toys as 'the gayest thing in the world.'
Sky Dancers were recalled in 2000 after only six years on the market because they caused more than 100 reported injuries. According to CNN, the injuries ranged from scratched corneas to broken teeth.
