80's toy

[Obscenity]

Does anyone remember Manglors? They were like these action figures made out of some weird squishy stuff that somehow kept its shape, yet you could pull them apart and stick them back together. You could take the arms off one guy and put them on another. Or you could have some guy's legs sticking out of the middle of his chest. They were neat.

[Vanango]

there were tons of awesome 80s toys.

[LollipopLolita]

zoids!

[Shattered_weasel]

the old Transformers toys......not the new ones but the old ones that fell apart after playing with them once

[shifter]

i dont remember that toy Obscenity, but then again i cant remember most of the toys i had when i was litte. i do remember zoids, except they were called technozaoids and had different names. 80s toys were so cool, i wish i still had my Centuriuns http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif.

I remember Transformer toys that had a special "straw" out their back, and you spoke into it and it had a neat effect, as if what you were saying was like a Transformer.(I take it they were pulled off the market due to kids choking or impaling their throats on the straws =X )

I liked the die-cast metal toys. XD Tough as hell, and the diecast transformers were so much fun to put together.

"OOOooooo, will I mash my fingers this time or will I be able to snap it together and get out of the way quick enough?! Stay tuned! *snap*.......AHHHHHH!!"

Dear God...and the toys with all of the choking hazard add-ons!

..how I miss them so. ,_,

[Enyalis_Cho]

A friend of mine had a dye-cast Voltron where the lions came appart. I had the Sword of Omens with the light up Eye of Thundera, but it eventually broke and my dad threw it away. *sigh* I wish I'd have made him keep it!

[xHIGHONLIFEx]

I STILL HAVE ALL PIECES AND ALL WEAPONS TO MY VOLTRON!!! hehehe... My Transformers are somewhere in this house... I thought Robotech toys were pretty cool too...

[Octavian]

Teddy Rukspin and Talking alf!!!!

urrr....I was really young.....like 5 when the 80's ended....lol

[Obscenity]

I still have all my Transformers and none of them are broken. I even have all the armor for my Jetfire. I still have my Voltron, too.

[Nerd]

He-Man and the MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! Used to take em in the tub, but then they got that musty 'i have old water in me' smell so i quit with that. Anyone remember when you had some toys in the 80's and the plastics didn't agree with one another, and one melted the other? This was especially true with rubbery toys like i dunno generic squid/octopus toys with the transparent plastic. I would go through a bin of toys and they would be adhered to one another. Had one melt a cockpit to some kinda jet plane (also generic)

That or Sectors, anyone remember them? Short-lived cartoon series too. I had the Hive and everything. Sweetness!

[JavaMoon]

Jem dolls and their awesome tapes! The songs were never long enough for me.

[Vanango]

rubix cube and etch a sketch are totally classics.

Ooo, remember Guess Who???? man... that was sort of a sexist game... "Does your person have a beard?'

[polishedweasel]

DUDE!!! Guess who was so awesome..you remember the commercials, where it said on the bottom and at the end of the commercial "Game peices don't actually talk"?

That was so trippy!

oh yea.. that was creepy. I'm glad they didn't talk. I guess they could make one for the computer where the pieces do talk. I should invent that somehow.

[xHIGHONLIFEx]

Ha... Twister... good game... even more fun if you put 2 together and 5-10 people playing...
