I’ve died and gone to heaven. Reminds me of the old joke “Why does Edward Woodward have 4 D’s in his name?”

“Because otherwise he’d be called Ewar Woowar”

GI Joe is great

Oh HELL YES! I had Gaiking (on left) and my neighbor had the one on the right (not actual pic or ours, mind you). I took the chest missle-launcher out (whole thing could be removed from the back) and put GI Joes in him. It was like a Trojan-Robot.

Honestly, that’s pretty much how I used all toys other than GI Joe. They had to some way be useful to the Joes (or Cobra, for that matter).[/quote]

Man I loved those things! That was back before all the safety crap came out. When you could actually put someone?s eye out with the missiles from across the room.

I downloaded all those not too long ago. I’m sure they’re all up on youtube.

This one kills me:

Anyone on here old enough to remember the 70’s GI Joe?

I got to play with my uncle’s a bit. He had two or three of the figures and the bubble copter. That thing was sweet.

I couldn’t get into them for too long, though. After playing with my mini-Joe’s those things just seemed like…well, dolls.

Still have mine somewhere. Far cooler than the little toys you kids got stuck with.

Hey! The words you were looking for was ACTION FIGURE!

I changed his diapers after we blew tings up and shot people.

I had a Viewmaster 3D thingy. Where you put these round photo disks in to it and watched a sort of slide show. My fav disk was the UFO TV show one. I really loved that show. Here is a refresher on the theme song.

And the scary UFO sound. Always freaked me out.

Cooler than a Boombox that can turn into a badass giant robot? You must be kidding.

MicroMachines anyone?

Any one remember BIG TRAK. I could never program mine very well. I suppose this could be thought of as the very first Mars rover. Money says the guys that designed the Mars Rover each had a Big Trac as a kid. :slight_smile:

What was the name of the RED Shogun Warrior? IT had points sticking out of it’s head.

One not mentioned: Battlestar Galactica. Had the Viper fighters and Cylon Raiders that shot small red pieces to simulate lazers…until some kid swallowed it and they made them not shoot out.
