| 1040 | Article | Vaporman87 | I would say some of my favorite green toys include Moss Man in all his pine tree aromatic glory, Mer-Man (also from MOTU), the Condor motorbike from M.A.S.K., Braun from Transformers G1, my Incredible Hulk big wheel (though it was MOSTLY black, the best parts were green), and my Secret Wars Dr. Doom figure. :) | Mar 17, 2014 |  | |
| 1041 | Article | echidna64 | Also the Green Ranger! I don't care what anybody says, next christmas I want a Dragonzord summoning dagger/flute | Toys Go Green! | Mar 19, 2014 | |
| 1281 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Interesting theme. Among my favorite green toys growing up were my Mego Hulk doll (yes, he was a doll), Swamp Thing with the retractable arm and Yoda from the original Kenner Star Wars line. I never even noticed that the Turtles had different shades of green, what a revelation. | Toys Go Green! | Sep 18, 2014 | |
| 1036 | Article | pikachulover | I have some CUTIES actually I have the 2 sets you don't have. I liked the babies set. The gym set was pretty silly too. My mom also used to buy me the 4 packs, so I had some random figures from those. There seemed to be something about ballerinas. There was also a ballerina in the babies set. I didn't like that they were monochromatic, so I used to color on them with crayons and markers. I mostly colored their clothes. I remember coloring Mary Mee's bouquet with a blue crayon. I even brought some to art class in high school to draw for an assignment. We had to draw how the light was on plastic objects. The one punk girl in the class wanted to draw "these weird punk lady figures". | Revisiting C.U.T.I.E. | Mar 12, 2014 | |
| 1037 | Article | Vaporman87 | M.U.S.C.L.E. and C.U.T.I.E. had to have been the most successful sets of immovable, tiny, plastic, monochromatic figures since the days of the little green army men. They somehow managed to capture the imaginations (and completist mentalities) of kids everywhere. I know I loved it when I was able to get a new addition to my collection. I think, to a certain extent, the same concept is big now with the "blind bag" mania that is happening at the moment. | Revisiting C.U.T.I.E. | Mar 12, 2014 | |
| 1038 | Article | MissM | pikachulover- I am so glad you collected these too! I found a loose ballerina that was from my earlier collection this past summer and it was so much fun to find it. I feel like originally I had a large set and a smaller set, because I know there was a random assortment of the rock ones, a gym one, and the ballerina. The sets from those pictures were found so cheap too! I love these. I also love that you brought one to art class for an assignment. How cool is that?! Vaporman- I agree. I think these were probably the most successful immovable tiny figures since the green army men. it was nice to see a line aimed at girls too, with so many different facets. Like you mentioned I think the blind bag craze and even those s.l.u.g. zombie things were brought on by a much needed return to items of that variety. | Revisiting C.U.T.I.E. | Mar 13, 2014 | |
| 1039 | Article | Fulton4V | I never had any of the Muscle or these others. But I do remember seeing alot of those in a local Ames store and they were very cheap. Wasnt there a wrestling ring for them that you could get too? | Revisiting C.U.T.I.E. | Mar 13, 2014 | |
| 1195 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Very cool topic. I totally remember one of my girl-friends (friend who was a girl) having a few of the aerobics themed C.U.T.I.E.S. figures. I never knew about the other varieties, but I got a good laugh out of the name "Leah Tard", totally not P.C. nowadays! | Revisiting C.U.T.I.E. | Sep 03, 2014 | |
| 1023 | Article | Vaporman87 | I didn't have the pleasure of reading this when it was originally published on RJ. I'm glad you decided to bring it on over here, because there is so much long gone goodness here to fawn over. Many of these I have to admit I missed out on, despite the fact that I was AT LEAST a teenager when most of these made it to the scene. I do remember vividly experiencing the flavor and novelty of the McDLT, Dr. Pepper gum (my favorite soda), and Chicken Littles. I hadn't actually put it together that the Chicken Littles of today had their roots in these original White Castle style sandwiches. They are much different now indeed! It's more like a strip of chicken in a hot dog bun! Still pretty unique, but not like the original. McDonalds is hit and miss with their more "exotic" offerings. I have found that our local McDonalds has TWO very rare menu items. The first being the pizza. Our McDonalds is one of a very limited number that still offers pizza. Not just by the slice either... WHOLE family size pizzas. The flavor is very similar to what Subway had been offering as of last year. Crispy, and tasty. The second menu rarity is an ice cream bar full of Breyer's flavors. They even make waffle cones fresh right in front of you. It's very neat. | Yesterdays 1: Foods Long Gone | Mar 03, 2014 | |
| 1028 | Article | Fulton4V | Morning funnies and chilitos were two of my favorites from this list. I wish Taco Bell had something like that today with all the same ingredents. I can still smell it now. The Mcdonalds in the town over from me serves chicken wings now and that is right beside a Kfc. | Yesterdays 1: Foods Long Gone | Mar 03, 2014 | |
