525ArticleVaporman87I must say, I had NONE of these "unpopular" retro toys in my day... with one exception - Clawful. But even regarding Clawful, I can confirm that he was not exactly the toy everyone just had to have in the MOTU line. Terrorcons were nowhere to be found in my closet. I had mostly G1 mainstays, and that was about it. I didn't even realize a Johnny Cage GI Joe had been produced. So, that is news to me! It does seem that the most unpopular releases almost always come toward the end of the toy line (or at least the end of that particular run of them). However, I would probably include every figure from the New Adventures of He-man. LOL Great read MatuX! Thanks for this. Mar 26, 2013View
537ArticleVaporman87There were so many MOTU figures that were simply retooled versions of other characters that I think it eventually lead to the quick death of the line at that time. Think about it, all these other giant 80's properties are still selling big in big box stores, except He-Man. Now, you can still get brand new He-Man and The MOTU figures from MattyCollector.com, but the mainstream appeal of He-Man is just gone it seems.Favorite Unpopular Retro ToysMar 27, 2013View

534ArticleVaporman87This was a fun read. Every teacher and class has it's own unwritten "requirements" in order to stay in their good graces. Sometimes this meant NOT being yourself. It puts me in mind of a few of my own high school teachers. Mr. Blaine was a mathematics teacher, and a Jehovah's Witness. Often, during Christmas and Easter seasons, students of some of his classes would feign ignorance of his religion and present him Christmas presents or Easter baskets. LOL. My art teacher was especially picky about the types of "art" you enjoyed. She tolerated me and my friend and our fascination with comic book art, only because we were probably some of the best artists in the school (keep in mind, my school was very small, so this should not be construed as bragging). She even let us repaint the mural on the wall behind her desk from a Prince - Purple Rain piece to a Star Wars piece. LOL. I think after our graduation she immediately let someone else cover up such nonsense. Thanks for this!Ghosts and GumshoesMar 27, 2013View
546ArticleVaporman87Did you ever lose an oversize bouncy ball on top of the roof of your school? Some of us have had that problem around here, right shakin?Ghosts and GumshoesMar 27, 2013View
541ArticlepikachuloverI had more personality clashes with teachers in high school and college. Without my 3rd grade teacher, and struggling in class. I don't know if I would have discovered those great shows. Ghosts and GumshoesMar 27, 2013View
547ArticlepikachuloverYeah once I lost one, but the girl gave me a replacement ball. Ghosts and GumshoesMar 28, 2013View
550ArticleraptorI think teachers just hated technology in general at my school. They would insult games, VHS, television shows, movies, and just about any other form of entertainment that didnt involve going outside or cracking open a book. I like this article. Good jobGhosts and GumshoesMar 28, 2013View
553ArticleAceNThaHoleMy teachers were mostly okay with what we liked in school. I had alot of classes that dealt with media and art so, they were mostly accepting of that stuff. But if they caught you with a game at school they werent so acceptingGhosts and GumshoesMar 28, 2013View
