| 5020 | Article | Rabbitearsblog | Loved the Doo Wop bumpers too! Nickelodeon had some creative bumpers back in the 80s and 90s! | Aug 18, 2019 |  | |
| 2228 | Article | Vaporman87 | Okay... I'll admit that the Legends of Batman series is intriguing, but all they did with the Batman Animated Series in '94 was crank out 40,000 Batman variants and one bad guy. Good grief, if there was one thing I DESPISED about the 90's, it was the onset of the "variant"! Yes, we had our share of variants in the 80's, sure. Terror-Claws Skeletor??? But man, Kenner... and to an even greater extent, Playmates... just went OVERBOARD with the variants. Such a waste of plastic. Nice Shadow collection you have there. I enjoyed The Shadow, but never though much about it after my initial viewing. I liked Alec Baldwin at the time (less so as years passed and he became a liberal nutcase), and thought he performed the role adequately. That Shaq had his own line of figures is proof that companies would just make toys of anything popular by the mid-90's (even more so today). | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2229 | Article | Mr Magic | Shaq had his own toy line, video game, and even his own burger. What didn't he have?! | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2230 | Article | echidna64 | Great read! As a kid I was really into the Jurassic Park and AVP toys. They don't make em like the used to! | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 27, 2015 | |
| 2233 | Article | massreality | I had all of those Nerf balls. I'll never forget my disappointment in the Siren one. It whistled alright, just not like it did in the commercial. I have a developing interest in the old heroes like The Shadow, Green Hornet, Lone Ranger, and Zorro. A few months ago, I sat down and watched The Shadow and was impressed. I don't think it's held up well, but I think if I had seen in 1994 when I was eleven, I would have loved it. I've been reading The Shadow comics that Dynamite created a couple of years ago. Garth Ennis (Preacher/Punisher) was writing them, and they were actually pretty good. I loved the covers Alex Ross did for them. He made The Shadow pretty friggin amazing. It's just a shame its a character that is unloved and forgotten. I'd love to see Hollywood reboot it. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 29, 2015 | |
| 2234 | Article | Vaporman87 | @massreality: Agreed. Those are the types of movies that should be the target of the "reboot". Those that just kind of flew under the radar and never gained traction the first go around. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | Apr 29, 2015 | |
| 2235 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Yes, Batman was the king of variants, but he didn't have to be. He has the greatest rogue's gallery of 'em all. @thecrow174 Where did Shaq have a burger? How did I miss that? @echidna64 Did you ever do a crossover where a theme park of Predators on display ran amok and had to be captured by a very svelt Dennis Nedry? @massreality Now see whatcha done? I gotta go download some comics on my iPad. Sam Raimi has been trying to make another movie featuring The Shadow for years, fingers crossed. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | May 01, 2015 | |
| 2236 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Hoju: Raimi? That would be very cool. I'd love to see what he could do with the character. | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | May 01, 2015 | |
| 2238 | Article | Mr Magic | @Hoju: He made a deal with Burger King in 2002. The burger was called the Shaq Pack. http://www.truschoolsports.com/2013/11/throwback-thursday-shaq-pack-from-burger-king/ | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | May 01, 2015 | |
| 2239 | Article | massreality | @Hojo: Didn't I read that Raimi only made Darkman because he couldn't get the rights to The Shadow back in the 90's? | Kenner Action Toy Guide '94 | May 01, 2015 | |
