This is a simple thread that exists for purposes of pure nostalgia. I’ll start.

Best: Who could possibly forget the wonder that was the Thundercats’ Thundertank?

And who could forgive the terrible, expensive, dull-to-play fad known as pogs?

Kind of in the middle is the mostly crappy G.I. Joe era that gave us the cool-looking, but instantly breakable Serpentor.

Your loves and loathes?

Good Lord, toys from my chilhood are now sometimes to be found in antique stores. And that is truly depressing.

The pride and joy of my toys was

The best toy. Even better than the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier, I’d argue.

Also, this with the handbrake? Awesome powerslides.

And of course me and my brother had

we had wars where you could only pump 5 times. got to where we could hit the center of the ‘p’ in pepsi, too.

Super Powers action figures. God I loved those things.

Man my memory is older than me i think

Super Powers® were after my time. I was raised on Mego™ figures.

I’d kill for some Mego figures.

Of course, I still have all mine:

I am totally coming over to your house sometime.

Who is the female figure in the middle? Black Canary?

Man, I can’t believe an ad for the very BB gun I had as a kid, the Daisy Eagle.  And it cost less than $13?  I thought I was the cat’s pajamas with that gun, having the scope and all.

Other toys?  Like Ken Hanke, they’re in the realm of antiques now.  I had a ‘spud gun’ that would shoot pellets from a potato, and of course a pair of those ‘X-Ray specs’ that teased you into thinking you could see through things (ahem, like clothes).  And I can’t forget the fun I had with the old rubber Whoopie Cushion!

I really didn’t care all that much for most toys, and instead tended to collect things like rocks and minerals, model dinosaurs, Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, and other items (depending on my age at the time).

Oh, and I can’t forget my first bicycle: a Schwinn Tornado.  It was bad.
