| 877 | Article | Vaporman87 | First, I really love the McDonalds Barbie play set. Imagine the outcry over such a thing being on the market in this day and age! Next, I was so absolutely sure that those Herself The Elf toys were Strawberry Shortcake toys at first glance. Also, loving the Garfield items. My sister and I had several of the Smurf figurines, but none of the houses and such. We simply crafted our own out of cardboard, scissors, and markers. MOTU!!! I had everything you see there on that page when I was a kid. But, sadly, it was all eventually sold off in yard sales. Later in life, I started picking up those same toys off Ebay. I have a used Attack Trak and Point Dread now. The adventure book I kept from my childhood. Those things were so much fun (hence the addition of the Read-Along Adventures section of the site). I didn't have any Power Devils, but I did own several Stompers (which Tonka produced, I think) which were basically the same concept. It was always a blast running them over the bridges and obstacles that you could purchase. I do have an affinity for old catalogs, but have not invested in any to date. I have perused several online that have been uploaded in PDF form. And you can indeed find the occasional toy that never made it to final production (Trendmasters Doom Island Godzilla line comes to mind). Thanks for this Miss M! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. | Nov 29, 2013 |  | |
| 3563 | Article | mickyarber | First off, I too was a huge Gobots fan, and took a lot of flak from my friends because they all thought Transformers were cooler. Secondly, I absolutely love those old pictures of your Christmas. I'm such a sucker for old family Christmas pics, and these really hit the spot. Third, being around that age and getting a camera is something really special isn't it? In 1988, I got a video recorder that used a special kind of cassette tape, and you could hook it up to the tv and play back whatever you recorded. Awesome sauce! Great Christmas memories in this one, and so glad you shared it and those awesome pictures. | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 2031 | Article | Vaporman87 | First of all, I have bad news. Sonic figures are still made to be broken within minutes. Jazzwares didn't learn any lessons from Resaurus when it comes to toy manufacturing. My kids have broken so many Sonic figures I could have 3 whole collections of them if they were all in tact. And I agree that rubber band hips were just a terrible and lazy idea. Unfortunately G.I. Joe wasn't the only popular figure out there sporting rubber hips. He-Man did as well. Lazy articulation is what I call that (though in Mattel and Hasbro's defense, the kind of articulation you see today just wasn't around then, and likely would have been so cost prohibitive that you would have never had the opportunity to own the figures period). | Toy Annihilation | Feb 21, 2015 | |
| 4704 | Article | NLogan | First name Mr. Middle name Period. Last name SanTa with a T! I pity the naughty kids. What do you want for Christmas? Quit yo jibber-jabber. I'll tell you what you get, pain! <img src="/images/postImages/1544494020MrTSanta.jpg" width="236" height="343"> | Favorite Movie and TV Santas | Dec 11, 2018 | |
| 4632 | Article | vkimo | Finally got a chance to sit down and take a look at this gem! Rocky Point sounds like a awesome spot! In California we didn't have much for spooky haunts save for the Winchester Mystery House - but PA seems to have dozens. I'd like to see a picture of your house decorated. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Anticipation | Oct 23, 2018 | |
| 4789 | Article | Ravenloft | Few took ninja mania as far as my twin brother and I. Shadow Warrior Ninja Brothers! I am still Storm Shadow to his Snake Eyes. He has betrayed our ninja secrets in his article to you. You have been marked for death. Always the athletic and agile kids we would scale telepole poles, run on wooden fences, climb up on roofs of multiple story buildings, leap treacherous gaps, climb over razor and barbed wire and other dangerous stunts that as an adult can only make me cringe at the possible injuries we could have had. Astonishing to think I never broke any bones (ahem, that were mine anyway.) The old style metal, concrete and wooden playgrounds were our ninja training camps like in the ninja movies and we learned the very real consequences of any fall. Far from the so called ninja tv shows that have safety foam pits and water to break your falls that are on today. We were doing Parkour a solid decade before it had a name or a popular following. He failed to mention that we spray painted the ropes on the home-made swords so they would be stiff and not come unraveled ever. I have never seen ninja children running around with real weapons the way we did as kids, maybe there were some and they had good training to remain unseen the way we did or maybe we were the last or only ninjas- a recurring ninja theme that is highly inaccurate; as the Hollywood pop culture version of the ninja is still going strong despite all of the imaginary and historically inaccurate elements. Ninja are so ubiquitous that they have become an archtype for play or Halloween costumes joining such other archtypes as the astronaut, cowboy, soldier, knight, superhero or finally the ninja. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Jan 13, 2019 | |
| 1838 | Video | Vaporman87 | Few movies can creep you out the way Poltergeist can. It doesn't need torture or gore to do the job. Just a house, a medium, a TV, and a family. Why Tobe Hooper didn't have much success after this and Texas Chainsaw Massacre eludes me. | Poltergeist | Jan 26, 2015 | |
| 39 | Article | Vaporman87 | Few games capture my undivided attention to the point of spending hours on them anymore. However, the Mass Effect trilogy was an exception. | Thousand Arms (1999) Review | Dec 11, 2012 | |

| 4948 | Article | jkatz | Felix the Cat looks like it would be a lot of fun! The changes in Guevara/Guerilla don't surprise me at all. Bionic Commando removed all references to Hitler and the nazis for the US release (but kept his exploding head!) | Underrated NES Games | Jun 01, 2019 | |
