172	Video	Vaporman87	I still have at least 15 of the 10" Trendmasters figures STILL SEALED IN THE BOX. They weren't the most realistic looking Godzilla figures, but they were American made, something you won't see today (Bandai America is still owned by Bandai Japan). There were plans to release a line called Godzilla Doom Island, and some figures were produced for this line, but none made it onto store shelves. Before Trendmasters closed their doors, they liquidated their inventory online, and many Doom Island figures were sold in that liquidation to fans of the toy line. I got my hands on several, and some lucky dude won a prototype 10" Destroyah. Overseas, a small number of 10" Biollantes were sold. To find and purchase one now would cost you a small fortune.

1858	Article	echidna64	I had a similar experience when my parents bought the movie Excalibur for me because I was into medieval times and mythology, BOY was I surprised after the first ten minutes of the movie!	Movie Misunderstandings	Jan 30, 2015
1857	Article	Vaporman87	If there is one useless thing about my memory, it is that I am almost always right about my recollections of movies, or of certain aspects of them. But not 100% of the time. LOL. For the longest time... and I mean THE LONGEST TIME... I could not, for the life of me, remember what film I had heard the saying, "The quarterback IS toast!" That aggravated me for years. YEARS! I tried attributing it to all sorts of movies, most of them naturally being sports related. But it had nothing at all to do with sports, unless you consider terrorism a sport. The phrase came from the movie "Die Hard", and it was said by a less than memorable character played by Clarence Gilyard Jr. (of Matlock and Walker, Texas Ranger fame). Probably the last movie, and the last movie character I would have ever guessed the phrase came from. LOL.	Movie Misunderstandings	Jan 30, 2015
1863	Article	Hoju Koolander	Fun topic. "Team Wolf" is pretty much the best thing ever, especially because it was your Mom's mislabeling that perpetuated the error. Makes me chuckle in a big way.	Movie Misunderstandings	Jan 30, 2015
1864	Article	fuschnikt	@Vaporman - The moment I read that quote I was fully struggling to figure it out. I scanned my brain, and you are totally right, I went from sports movie to sports movie. The moment of the reveal it was like, "of course! Die Hard!" Seems so obvious now. I can even visualize the moment. @echidna64- That sounds about right. I have still never seen the movie, but I've seen clips and photos. I cannot even imagine what my parents thought while they previewed it. I should probably watch it sometime. Maybe I can pretend it's He-Man. @Hoju Koolander- Yup. Classic mom stuff. At least my mom.	Movie Misunderstandings	Jan 30, 2015
1867	Article	Vaporman87	I would say I had a pretty extensive collection of all of these items. But, every time I would become bored with any of them, they would be placed in a drawer somewhere and eventually disappear altogether. Even so, I can still feel my hand rubbing a pencil across that molded plastic, and smell the vinyl stickers of the Colorforms. The thing I hated was when the Colorforms had characters in colors that were nowhere near correct (like Rhino in the picture you provided above). Seriously? Was it THAT much more expensive to make him gray? I also attempted to manufacture my own "stencils" for use with the "monster maker" style toys. They never turned out any good though. Still, it was fun to try anyway!	Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, and Monster Makers	Jan 31, 2015
1870	Article	echidna64	Brings back memories!I think I had one for Crash Dummies	Colorforms, Shrinky Dinks, and Monster Makers	Jan 31, 2015
1873	Article	pikachulover	I had Sesame Street set. I didn't know what they were I thought they were stamps. So I licked them. I got them when I was 3. My parents had to explain to me how to use them. I had a Show White and a dress up Minnie N Me set. I also had a few Presto Magix sets of Beauty and the Beast and Strawberry Shortcake. I have a Lisa Frank set, but I'm not sure who made it. I liked to use colorforms and window clings to stick on the sliding glass door wen I lived at a house that had one. I had Barbie and Mickey Mouse rub-on transfers and some bootleg Sailor Moon ones.

1874	Article	Vaporman87	Most of my life was spent BEING the older kid. In my neighborhood, I was the oldest of the kids that spent evenings together playing. Sure, there were older kids than me living there, but they didn't often associate with us. I'm guessing I was probably the same type of kid you describe here as well. I had a lot of cool stuff (I'm not blind to the fact that I had a lot of stuff as a kid) and we had a tree house, large yard, tons of concrete with a basketball hoop, and all the inside goodies too. Truth be told though, I preferred being the "visitor" as opposed to being the "visited". Unlike most kids, I didn't enjoy being the kid that other kids were jealous of. I liked visiting the houses of others and being in their element. I felt welcomed and appreciated there, whereas at home, I might tend to feel used.	The Older Kid	Feb 02, 2015
1875	Article	echidna64	Same here, as the oldest of 5 siblings, my "cousin" was the closest to being an older brother. I agree, there was always something magical about visiting a new friend's house. For instance, I remember thinking that stacking the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge was pure wizardry! Sounds like you were the man! My dream was always to have a treehouse, I plan on building one when I have my own kiddos.	The Older Kid	Feb 02, 2015
