This reminded me of Playmobile. Hadn’t seen that here yet.

Playmobil rules! I have got to get back to work!!![/quote]

Holy shit, I forgot about this. I was crazy into that stuff when I was a little kid. I had the set from the picture I think in the late 70’s or very early 80s.


My Pet Monster

Thunderbirds, may have been pre 80’s though. I had all the original toys in die cast.

It might have been the massive assault of commercials for it, the brief cartoon show hyping it even more, and the fact that it was pimped almost like My Buddy and Cabbage Patch Kids.

Yes, someone else mentioned My Buddy! I don’t how or why but I can still sing that damn song from the commercial.

“My buddy, my buddy, wherever I go, he goes. My buddy, my buddy, my buddy and me!”

I’m sorry, did I just cross a line right there? Should I not have done that? Cause I gotta tell ya, If I knew that that kinda thing was frowned upon…

Ok, I’m having severe flashbacks of my childhood now. Fuck, what year is it???

Did someone mention voltron

Here’s two obscure ones… Wind Raiders and Army Ants.

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]

Robotech Rules!!

It was the first cartoon I every saw where people got wasted. It wasn’t like GI Joe where they eject just before their plane/truck/tank blew up.

Space 1999

Shogun Warriors

Good find, nolecat! But what was that blue guy/orange pants called?

This thread is awesome. When everyone was bringing up MASK it wasn’t ringing a bell until I googled it.Thank you everyone for refreshing my memories.I wanna go play now.

That looks a lot like Tranzor Z. Or Mazinger. Aphrodite had to be the greatest giant robot made. Missile titties, that’s classic.

Exo Squad anyone?

FUCK YEAH!!! Exo Squad was easily the best show from my childhood. Probably the best show ever.

The E-Frame toys ruled too. [/quote]

Exo Squad was early/mid 90’s though. Still a cool cartoon for sure.

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).

Oh hell yes, the ninja turtles kicked ass. Who knows Splinter and Shredder’s real names. And don’t be a punk and google it!
