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.
Man-at Arms rocked. Anyone remember Man-E-Faces? I think he was a bad guy. O kept Battlecat sittin on my dresser through pharmacy school
Nah, Man-E-Faces was a good guy. Wasn’t he the half man half robot thing.
Man-At-Arms was a hardass. Skeletor rocked for a bad guy though. He was sooooo sarcastic. Cracked me up.

Man-E-Faces turned from “Man, to Robot, to MONSTER!”.
I always liked the little comic books that came with the first series of He-Man characters. The cartoon hadn’t come out yet, so there was none of that gay He-Man/Prince Adam crap; He-Man was always He-Man and Battle Cat was always Battle Cat.
Oh, and TSR put out an awesome series of D&D characters in the early 80’s. I had the castle that someone posted earlier in the thread which was kinda ho-hum, but I liked the figures because they built them to scale. A dwarf was short and thick, an elf was skinny, human fighters were powerful looking but avergae height, etc.
THE coolest figure, though was Northlord the Barbarian. He was about twice as big as the human figures and he came with a broadsword, a battle axe, a shield, a winged helm, and a sword belt/ass & crotch coverage thing that actually held his sword (he looked cooler holding the axe, anyway).
As far as G.I Joe went, I had a lot of stuff, but the most noteworthy thing was the base that came out in '83, some time before the U.S.S. Flagg was made. It had a stockade, a motor pool, a helicopter pad, mess hall, all kinds of great shit!
Oh, and I currently have a few hundred NIB action figure collection. Mostly ToyBiz and Spawn stuff. Geeks rule!
