What were your favorites... also did you collect the figures?

Demosthenes · « **Reply #1 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:35:20 AM »

I watched GI Joe in the 80s, and I did collect the figures. Still have most of them. Sadly, most are not in "collectable" condition, but they still have a level of nostalgic value for me.

Hhhmmmm.

Transformers and Smurfs are the 2 stand outs in my mind. With a little Splash of He-Man.

Transformers, GI Joe, Smurfs.

Have a few GI Joe figures around. Cobra units always had the best uniforms. The Crimson Guard was just FABULOUS!

Still have a few smurf houses lying around as well.

not born during the 80's but i love watching the original Transformers animated movie, the soundtrack is nothing short of epic. i love the spunky up-beat 80's music playing during the assault on the Autobot Earth base. favourite song from the movie, "You Got the Touch".

Still have one of my Crimson Guard figures. I also have this one, which was one of the other good ones.

I think my favourite Cobra figure was Firefly. I still have him too, along with all of his equipment.

I think I pretty much had all of the Cobra figures I could get my hands on at the time. My dad cracked and bought me the Cobra Stealth Fighter for Christmas one year and I really wished I had kept the damn thing because it was awesomeness incarnate.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #8 on:** July 28, 2009, 02:07:55 PM »

Never had that one.

I did have the GI Joe Command Center though. I wish I still had it; even in "fair" shape, those things are wickedly collectible these days.

oh there is always He-Man, by the power of greyskull! oh don't know if this was 80's but does anyone remember Stretch Armstrong?

I still can't get my mind wrapped around how the youngsters can be born in 1990+, having skipped the 80s completely and still be a young adult. The math of that, I find that difficult. It is the first signs of dementia when I still see my baby cousin while looking at her, now that she's actually a young adult woman with *gasp* breasts and curves and all that? Am I talking out loud again?

Anyway, Transformers obviously. So many of their adventures played exclusively in my head, with the collectable figures and a huge poster I had in my room. They would often fight with other icons such as my Airwolf helictoper and my Knight Rider mini-cars. I even did special effects by seriously demolishing some of those mini-cars and pretending they had been in 'a crash'. They had been afterall

Does anyone remember M.A.S.K.? It is a distant memory now but I remember having a huge red car with fly doors and action figures of that show. Good times.

xolik · « **Reply #11 on:** July 28, 2009, 03:30:54 PM »

M.A.S.K rocked! I had the same red car and about a dozen of the figures.

FleetStrike · « **Reply #12 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:06:02 PM »

you think its crazy? try being born in the 90's and now coming into adulthoodiness. its frightening. the worst part is today i asked my 4 year old half brother if he had ever seen Rugrats and corrected myself saying "no that was before your time". i am officially old. watch out gray hair and liver spots, here i come.

Hah! I'd totally forgotten about M.A.S.K.! I never had any of the figures, but I definitely wanted them.

Of course I do

We're off to outer space...

Yeah. Smurfs, Transformers, Voltron, Snorks.

I wasn't allowed to watch Tom & Jerry, Heckle & Jeckle or Popeye. Too violent.

pbsaurus · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2009, 05:59:41 PM »

I remember Freshman year in the dorms we used to rush back from class to watch Thundercats. I prefered live action fare like the Sid and Marty Krofft productions and Ultraman. But in the animated vein I liked Thundar the Barbarian, Bugs Bunny, Wacky Racers, Super Chicken, George of the Jungle, Dastardly and Muttley, Hong Kong Phooey, Grape Ape, Blue Falcon and Dynomut, Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, Felix the Cat, Top Cat, Augie Doggie, Quick Draw McGraw (Kabong!), Sheriff Richochet Rabbit, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and probably others.

Loved TC. He was so cute!

pbsaurus · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2009, 06:17:22 PM »

Top Cat was brilliant. The cartoons today are just way too moralizing and PC.

FleetStrike · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30, 2009, 08:19:17 PM »
