OMG! I was thinking last week about this character, me and my friends were talking about old cartoon shows we watched when we're kids ... I watched this cartoon but I couldn't remember the name of the show...

Yeah, as far as I remember, they debuted in the late 80s. It seemed to take a year or so before they kind of gained any ground though. There was a game and I think even a TV show eventually.

>>>A Chicken Run repaint? That's hilarious! Gotta love how the toy industry rehashes things in such a blatant manner.<<<
I saw a repaint of the Ewok Village playset a while back, but I don't remember what toy line it was in.

And who can forget these guys:

Back when I was little, the damn dog chewed up my Hulk Hogan and Paul Orndorff figures since they were rubber.

Anyone else have Monsters in My Pocket? I only had a few, but I thought they were pretty cool. Don't ask me why since they're only one color and don't do anything at all.
I did, and I liked them too for some strange reason...

OMG, MEET MY PET MONSTER! I loved that.clipunderground said:
Anybody remember one of the last few Muscle/Garbage Pail Kids ripoffs released in the early 90's called The Trash Bag Bunch? They were mini figures, but more detailed and painted that came in a trash bag. You threw the trash bag into a bucket of water and it would dissolve, revealing the figure.

I miss the days when toys didn't suck 
What happened to cool toys? The only cool toys I've seen recently are the new transformer ones like Masterpiece Optimus Prime, RX8 and WRX toys.

I wish I had more money... I've seen rereleases of classic Transformers toys and I can't help but want them.
I had My Pet Monster. I got it for $10 at Toys R Us a long, long time ago. I actually was watching King of Queens the other day and they had one on the show. I had no clue they still made the things.
I still own all my old He-Man (both castles, dozens of guys, a few animals and several vehicles), TMNT (tons of guys, vehicles, hideout, techodrome, van, blimp etc), Ghostbusters and Rambo toys. Good stuff heh. They're just packed in a closet.

Someday I hope to have a complete set of series 1 & 2. My parents gave all mine to goodwill (and I think I had basically everything but Boulder Hill).
oh god yes.
i had boulder hill, the black van, thunderhawk and that 50's car. but i didn't have any actual figures

You people are really starting to depress me...
With all of the sh*t I have to deal with as an adult these days (esp. now, with college almost over and mounting family problems), seeing these relics of my childhood make me long for that time when the only real thing I had to worry about was accidentally losing one of my beloved toys, or its accessories.

LOL! My older brother still has his Boglin IN THE CASE! In addition to a My Pet Monster and all kinds of other shit from the 80s, all in immaculate condition. I don't know why/how he kept all that stuff in great shape when we were kids, all my toys are ruined.
anyway, i used to hate getting toys as a kid, cause my brother would always get to get the "main" guys and my parents would buy me some secondary character or a villian. He got a Batman toy, i had to get Robin. He got Liono and Mumra from Thundercats, and i got stuck with Panthro and some fucking Walrus dude. He got a Hot Roddimus Prime Transformer, and my parents get me a fucking guy that transforms into a microscope. A fucking MICROSCOPE.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
That's not the real Voltron. Mine was made w/ good ol' led paint and die cast metal (in parts)!

DAMN! We had that die cast Metal voltron, and my dumbass brother traded it to one of his friends for a bunch of friggin Go-Bots! WTF! This thread is bringing back some bitter memories...im gonna have to go kick my brother's ass.
I had that Voltron as well and my mother threw it away due to the whole lead poisoning rumor going around in the news at the time.
A few weeks later she got me a bigger, but crappier looking electronic Voltron that had wheels on it's feet and moved. Damn thing had a wire coming out of it's back that connected to a control device to make him move.

Damn, I completely forgot about Boglins. I had the orange one with the black nose that's in the picture up there. I played with that thing constantly... had it eat my action figures lol.

Couple of thoughts...
Wow, I had forgotten about MASK and the fact I owned the red car..and another one too, but I can't remember which one. I know I used to change around their removable helmets to give them different powers and what not.
Odd use of branding there on the "CBS Colecovision".
One time I put Warrant's "Heaven" into a Teddy Ruxpin to watch him ROCK!
And of course, I had all the He-Man, Voltron, Garbage Pail Kids, etc. etc.
I am also man enough to admit I had a large collection of Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins.
None of you know me, so I don't mind admitting that.

Yeah, I had the diecast and the five plastic lions (the black lion had a cheesy 'walking' motion), but this is the best pic I could google up quickly. I'm pretty sure the diecast Voltron was made by Matchbox.
