I know Tripticon…still have him myself, but who are the other two? The last one looks soooo familiar…I’m positive I had that guy.

Megatron, Trypticon, and Roboto in that order.

It was these toys and tv series that had a great infulence on me lifting too.


Anyone still have Omega Supreme?

Some of my sentimental favorites:

  • Talking Kit car with flashing lights
  • HE-MAN with battle damage chest
  • GI Joe F-14 with ejectable parachute pilot
  • Original Megatron made of metal instead of the cheap-ass plastic.

OMFG, how could I forget Voltron! The original cat Voltron made of metal has got to be one of the rarest 80’s toys out there.

Lincoln Logs. Now they were the shit.

I had a gotcha paint ball gun too…

Man, it had been so long since I seen the toy Megatron, I forgot what he looked like completely. I definitely still have my Omega Supreme…he’s still my #1 Autobot.

My Megatron got stolen by our mail lady. I stored it there while playing outside, and forgot about it until the next day. It was gone when I went check for it.

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

No its not mine. I found the pic on the web.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

That was my shit!..Tom Selleck was the underwater guy. That show is tight as hell. The art is better than most stuff out today. Lion-O and Panthro were ripped up. He-man was diesel. Its like people don’t like drawing muscles into their cartoons.

Found parts of mine today, along with some other stuff. I’ll have to get some pics together.

I can’t believe how many GI Joes I managed to keep.

WHOLLY SHIT, GREAT THREAD!

Quite possibly the best one on T-Nation. (jk)

I’m using my daughter as an excuse to get every single toy on this thread.

I already started to get the M.U.S.C.L.E toys from ebay a couple years ago. Now I don’t know where they are, so I’ll get them again.

Anyone know of a good site to buy these from besides ebay???

Perfect.

Army Ants (mentioned only once on this thread)

MicroMachines (I could never get enough of those)

Ninja Turtles (cutting it close to early 90’s…forgive me)

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.[/quote]

Man, I was born 1984, but I remember visionaries. I had some of the little ones, but my older brother got one of the full-sized dudes.

We got it in a Toys’R’Us in Dallas, and then when we got home that night, I broke one of its legs off while I was playing with it. My brother cried, and I got whupped by my dad.

But I was only like two, so it’s not like I was an evil child and did it on purpose!

Yes!!!

Come on you geeks!
Everyone had starwars figures!!!

Only one I had was a speeder bike and the trooper that came with it.

Centurions: I had the Ace McCloud figure. Buddy had Max Ray (?) (the green guy).

Here’s one for your asses: INHUMANOIDS.
