I forgot about a couple. Action Man and Meccano. These were UK toys, so some of you may not have herd of them
GREAT THREAD IDEA!!
-The Milennium Falcon (just pull down the front landing gear and use it as a pistol grip and rest the rest on my forearm (and arm).
-Anything GI Joe (although I liked Firefly best…the black/grey camoflaged ninja-looking sabateur from Cobra…he had all the explosives on him. I gave him Stormshadows swords too and made him a ninja.). And the F-14 or better yet, the SR-71 with “piggyback” plane…or the A-10 COBRA plane with the swivel turret (I think it was "The Rattler). Geez, I could go on forever about GI Joe.
-The diecast Voltron (lions).
-Anything MASK (I really liked the Mack truck…I think it was “Rhino”)
-He Man. Forget Battlecat, Panthor was where “it” was at.
-Transformers OWNED the Go-bots. Especially the die cast Megatron that had all the extensions for gun mode (Silencer, etc). Suck THAT, Gobots.
Man, now I’m remembering the comic books, cartoons…oh yeah!
…and the profile/dossier on the back of each individual GI Joe Action Figure!!
must…stop…now…

Come on you geeks!
Everyone had starwars figures!!![/quote]
I actually had the original AT-AT. Yes, the big foogin’ full-sized one where you could open the doors on the side and stand your figures up in there. Damn, between that and M.A.S.K. Boulder Mountain I must have been a pretty spoiled little brat…
EDIT: Found a sweet pic. I used that bad boy for all my toys, not just Star Wars.

My buddy had the van, and we stupidly decided to tape as many bottle rockets as possible to that thing to see if we could make it fly.
It did not fly. We proceeded to simply melt the shit out of it…
Anyone remember the He-Man slime pit? Where there was (I think) a trap door and the figure would fall through it? Or maybe you just pushed them off the ledge…
Either way, I never had it, but my buddy did and we used to make a mess every time we got that thing out.

Ditto. I got it on Christmas and my grandmother comes over and is startled because she originally thought it was a dog. lol
Wow, some serious memories comin back, most notably Micro Machines, that one I TOTALLY forgot about, the rest were distant memories. how about, THE ANIMAL remote control car w/ the claws that came out of the wheels
Nothing can stop DUN DUN DUN THE ANIMAL!
And for TV shows what about C.O.P.S???
This is the best thread. Talk about bringing back some sweet childhood memories.
Star Wars figures, man I had a bunch. If my mom wouldn’t have given away all my toys without asking I would have an awesome collection. I had tons of figures, I had the Chewbacca chest belt that would hold the figures. I had the Ewok village. I had a Tie Fighter. Oh man, I’m crying just thinking about all that stuff.
Voltron! I had a voltron camera. Did anyone else have this?
Go Bots. I had tons of Go Bots and a big Go Bot carrying case.
Transformers. My cousin and I use to have battles of epic proportions with our Transformers.
He-Man. I had the good guys and my cousin had the bad guys along with Castle GreySkull. Again, we use to have mad battles! I remember that in second grade I got my He-Man figures taken away from me because I was playing with them during class. Yeah, I cried. I can admit it. I had to stay after school to get them back.
TMNT. I use to collect these. They came out right when I was getting too old to play with stuff like that. So, I “collected” them. But I never played with them… um yeah…
Who remembers collecting the Starting Lineup figurines? We use to collect these like mad. And if you found a Jordan or some other major sports star you wouldn’t open the package. You would just set it on your dresser or shelf and look at it!
I had an A-Team lunch box. Oh yeah!
Man, I want to be young again.

Yup. Had the gun turret under the head which you could turn on and the clear plastic gun things would move in and out and glow red or something - untill i broke the fun thing.
Oh man the quality animation in C.O.P.S.: C.O.P.S theme (Begin) - YouTube
You can get the dvd from Amazon US … no where else as far as I know.
All I have to say is “Ulysses 31” - YouTube
