TOYS OF THE PAST

[Captain Faramir]

My brother and I still have every single ninja turtle figure ever made--I don't know how we did it but we got them all!

But does anybody, ANYBODY, remember those ninja figures that each came in a different color and with a different animal? My brother had a gray one with a sparkling blue robe and a horse, but I just can't remember what they are called because I was so young. I want to get him on off of ebay for his birthday, but I have no clue as to what I'm looking for. Any help would be great.

Here a few of mine.

Didn't we have such safe toys as kids.

believe it or not, I liked the show BEFORE I liked the comics.. this show means alot to me... my dad got it for me when I was about 3-4.....

Ditto i still like the show more then the comics, i love the dvd volumes i grew up with the very same toy man, i have no joke 100s of those old broken worn out toys.

Teddy Ruxpin!! My little brother had one, I think I enjoyed every bit as much as he did!

I never had the Teddy Ruxpin, but instead had the real-talking Alf. Which was the same toy, but cooler because it was Alf!

 

[Captain Faramir]

Mine trumps all your guys' stuff. Mine was a three -foot talking Big Bird!!!

My brother and I would play opera tapes and rocks tapes and stuff on him. Now THAT was a cool sight!

I had a 2' tall godzilla with a flame tongue.
Big Jim, Big Jack and Big Josh.
Steve Scout.
The Action Jackson Jungle Treehouse
I had these cool pirates that were about 7 inches high and a pirate ship made of vinyl covered cardboard that folded up.

I had some old batman figures that I have since not been able to track down. They were from the late 70's or very early 80's and they were 3 3/4 scale The body was all plastic while the head and cape were a single rubber piece. I also had a superman like this as well.

Are you talking about the Shogun Warriors Godzilla figure? That thing is a classic

[pixletwin]

Wow, some great posts here, I love seeing these old toys.

See, a thread like this "actually" makes me "feel" old! I can remember meeting Eastman and Laird at comic conventions when TMNT were still just an independent comic book with so-so sales!!!

Hows about:

Army Ants

Food Fighters

Power Lords

Star Trek 3 3/4" from Mego

Zoids (old school 80's)

and finally... for now

Ghostbusters

 

[LOTRFan]

I had my fair share of Army Ants and Ghostbusters, that cartoon rocked too!

 

[galactiboy]

I loved the Ghostbusters cartoon when I was a kid! Had some of the figures, but never all 4 of the main characters. I do know I had a Venkman though

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I think I vaguely recall having that orange/blue Power Lords guy.

 

[galactiboy]

I actually had to do a lot of research to figure out what the Power Lords figures were called a few years back. I only had one mini-figure left from when I was a kid and as an adult had no idea what it was... finally looking through a toy guide I was ble to figure it out.

Very fun figures, and very 80's!!!

BATTLE BEASTS!
