Half of those toys on there rule/ruled.

The worst one i can remember was this one line of toys were you would get a figure, a motorcycle and a ramp that would launch the motorcycle. I remember that it had famous movie and video game characters and one of them was sonic... WHY THE HELL DOES SONIC NEED A MOTORCYCLE????

but with that i also the the huge 12 inch Gargole figure that had cloth wings that would spead. that ruled

[The Fifth Man]

Creepy Crawlers, hands down. Did anyone here honestly
manage to make ANYTHING that didn't tear itself to shreds
coming out of the mold? And even if it didn't, what the hell
would you do with it?

[Comrade Rocket]

I also remember Monsters in your Pocket. I remember that they advertised them saying that if you put them in your pocket they would melt. I would leave them in my pocket all day long and they never did melt.

Fucking liars

Anything that is imported from japan and costs more than fifteen dollars.

The Transformers, the He-Man toys, the Harry Potter toys, that Shitty "Metal Shavings Face!" toy, and this shitty "Gargoyles" ripoff, A BIG box set of like 10 different Gargoyles and 10 different Human Viking guys, made out of shitty rubber. Nearly every time you tried to move his arm, leg or head, it fell off. Well, it was WORTH the 5 bucks to be able to put the peices back together to make a SUPER HYBRID MUTANT TERROR! And have him Maim, kill, amputate and destroy all the puny humans!!!

Yeah, I remember those Movie Characters Motorcycles. I had the whole set, simply out of a "JEESUS!!! THOSE LOOK AWESOME!!!!" type thing. There was Terminator, Robocop, Sonic THe Hedgehog, Ghost Rider, Ripper (From the Street Sharks), Leonardo (From Ninja Turtles) Earthworm Jim, and like 1 other I could't remember what it was. They were fun for a while, but they broke easily. ALSO, the Dragonball Figures were OK, but a bit of a disappiontment when they didn't have good enough detail, or the hinges messed up easily (I have a figure of Spopovich the russian pro wrestler that gets his ass kicked, but after dropping him once, the hinge on his right arm broke and his arm just hangs down like it really IS broken. Good for looking wounded, bad for doing his moronic poses/holding stuff.

[ZiM The Homicidal Maniac]

[DeadKennedys]

Did anyone have Stretch Armrstrong's nemesis? He was a big red guy full of little balls of vegetable matter (I'm not kidding either). He came with his own penis pump, which you used to fill him up with air to do something with the balls and make him stiff.

Then you could buy the factory to create your own mini-versions of him.

Those were the days..

[payne]

i had him actually 2 of hiim cause 1 broke all these small white pellts came out and the second 1 almost broke than the pump broke dam those strecth armstong ppl

WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH THE SLINKY DAMNIT

I can understand hating the slinky. The way I see it, if you actually liked the slinky, you lived in a two-story house. Otherwise, the only thing you can do is stretch it out a little in your arms. (By the way, I'm talking about the "standard size metal" slinky, which was pretty large for your standard size child).

Another drawback of the typical metallic slinky was that after you used it your hands smelled like you fisted Starscream for the rest of the day.

Perhaps too many people have been brainwashed by that Slinky commercial song, which was brought back a while ago by the Social Security crowd for themselves.

But I will point out that those little plastic slinkys they sell in coin-op machines and pet bird supply stores rule. You can't stop swinging it...

70's era Ken doll GI Joes have to have sucked. I'm sure any kid that took one of those to school were severely beaten for having a doll and pretending to call it a boy's toy.

And to Arrow X, yup they made a Tripticon toy. Much harder to break than Metro and had motorized walking all more reasons why bad guys are cooler...
