F yeah, Storm shadow was my favorite GI joe toy, even though he was with C.O.B.R.A. I fucking loves ninjas.

Damn, that Prof. Cube is re-goddamn-diculous! My brain hurts just looking at it.

I remember all those toys mentioned already. Anyone remember the Visionaries? They weren’t as big and popular but they were on Sat morning cartoons for a while.

I had the GI Joe battle station. I think that is what it was called. It looked like an oil rig that is out in the ocean. How about Destro, that guy with the silver head.

here is the battle station I was talking about.


another


here is another that I had


Man does this stuff bring back memories! I wish I could go back to this time. I mean I had nothing to worry about, no responsibilities just playing with these cool toys.

Timber was a wolf, actually.

Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes had the same training. They later reconciled and SS joined the Joe Team. Of course, not with the Sigma 6 line, he is a Cobra again.

Holy crap, is that your vehicle-based Voltron, PGA? I’d kill for one of those. (Well, not literally.)

Shogun warriors,He-Man,Erector set’s lego’s and Tonka truck’s


Lite Brite,My Little Pony, EZ Bake oven oh wait that’s my sister’s toy’s except the EZ Bake


I think that he is why I constantly lift. I mean look at how ripped he is!!

Our socio-political views may clash, but I agree with you 200% on this.

I mean look at this guy, he looks like he came out of flex magazine.

I had some Wind Raiders! And the VEHICLE Voltron as well. And that zoid picture looks like the one I had, Brutox.
Who remembers Marshal Bravestarr?

What about Starcom?

Now my personal favorite…was Robotech. Those toys are worth a bunch these days.[/quote]

Oh my god that was the toy - ROBOTECH! I think that was based off the macross series. Big piece of toy too.

Never managed to get the MASK HQ. I did get Brad Turner (Motorbike - Condor), Julio Lopez (Big RV - Firefly), Flyod Malloy (Flying bike thing - Vampire) and another I cant remember.

Also, I had the Sword Of Omens with the light up Thundercats sign on it … “HOOOOO!”

The cartoon was gay but the toys rocked. He-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor, the guy with the long neck and that green guy with the suction cups on his hands and face.

I remember when the He Man toys first came out…before the cartoon. It was pretty gothic and freakin’ evil looking. Man O War was a true bad ass.

The biggest toy rip off was the Death Star. It looked liked a half ass construction project. It had about 3 levels and a stupid trash compactor filled with foam blocks!
