| 2084 | Article | MissM | I loved it when Kenner would do that! Their Ripley figure from the Alien toy line would get reused again for the Karen figure from the Congo toy line. I remember just being mind blown when that happened. I hadn't realized that parts would be reused for different toy lines. Obviously parts reuse made sense in the same toy line, but it was always a fun surprise. I loved the Beetlejuice toy line, I had so many of these. I still do for the most part. Beetlejuice was big business back then. I am with you though, it always bugged me that there was never a Lydia figure. She was one of the most integral characters on the show! lol Just crazy. Your mention of the booklets and images of other products was exciting for me too. I loved nothing more than looking at everything available and imagining the worlds I could play in if I could just own it all. lol | Mar 17, 2015 |  | |
| 2206 | Article | MissM | @EISXUOIS you totally brought up a character that I had forgotten about! But I do agree, I was really upset when Nei died in Phantasy Star 2 as well! I always show a lot of love for Final Fantasy but I also loved playing Phantasy Star games, which are in many ways far more challenging. I didn't play PS2 until I was a little older. I actually played the 4th one first and then revisited the earlier ones as a teen and I didn't actually beat the second Phantasy until some time in my twenties? It was just a very challenging game. I still get chills thinking about being in a dungeon and knowing I won't make it out alive. And thank you for enjoying reading my experiences! I have a lot. lol @Hoju Koolander, I am so thrilled that I am not the only one that thought Samus was simply named Metroid. lol It just made the most sense. I blame the self titled games like Pac Man and Mario for this thought process. lol And there were a few things spoiled for me by Nintendo Power, but how I loved pouring through those issues! @Vaporman87 I can somewhat relate about being shocked by hearing the sound of a voice coming from a game. I think something like that as well as the animated scenes that would come in later on, I remember just being thrown for a loop at how much video games were changing with later systems in the mid 90's or so. And I have no doubt that I would have been in awe and a slight bit jealous of your MK arcade skills! | Shock Me, Shock Me, Shock Me… | Apr 08, 2015 | |
| 2207 | Article | MissM | I've always wanted to play games like this. It has so many elements of things I like. I've ever really had anyone to get into it with though, but I might be bugging my friends to give a game like this a shot for one of our game nights. Really fun and informative article! | The Dragon Master | Apr 08, 2015 | |
| 2208 | Article | MissM | Ok loved everything about this article. That first NES game was a nightmare. I still can't get past the third stage. The water stage and those bombs still gives me nightmares. I did love the arcade game thought. My first figure was April O'Neil. I remember doing really well on my grades in school and my mom was like, "We can go to the store and find an April figure for you." I loved the Turtles, but I always made sure to collect every version of April possible, and did they ever make some random off the wall April figures. It was hard not to be caught up in the phenomenon of the Turtles at that time. Or really any other time. The cool thing about this property over pretty much most properties from that time is that it has still managed to be a hit with every new version. Well, maybe not that live action series on Fox in the late 90's, but even that wasn't that bad from a toy perspective. Super fun article! | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 08, 2015 | |
| 3186 | Article | MissM | Really nice article! I've been meaning to catch up on your articles and I have a lot of fun reading ahead of me, but this was really great. Personally my favorites are the Christmas Vacation tree and the tree from a Charlie Brown Christmas. Both really great trees and stories. I am fond of the Gremlins tree. I also remember being traumatized with the Simpsons episode where Bart burns down the tree, I just had these horror visions of catching trees on fire. This article is going to have me thinking of more Christmas trees in pop culture now. Really fun! | 5 Most Iconic Movie Christmas Trees | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3287 | Article | MissM | @pikachulover- Tell me about it! Lady Lovelylocks are so hard to find in decent condition. I don't know if you can tell in the picture, but her legs have splotchy coloring on them. Other than that she is in great condition. @Vaporman87- Wasn't it so cool back in the day how Playmates would make so many different toy lines and they all fit together? You are right, Toxie would have fit in perfectly with a TMNT line. I miss those toy lines. And thank you, I was really excited to find these items throughout the past year. Hope you two have both been doing well! | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015! | Jan 20, 2016 | |
| 3290 | Article | MissM | @HojuKoolander I have a very eclectic taste in collecting. It's both a blessing and a curse. lol The Playskool People are so perfect for capturing the look of the times! That is such a great feel about it. I love that. R Rated toy lines are such a fascination, because I don't know that it would ever happen again like that. There was something really special about that time for toys. Now the R Rated stuff is just marketed for collectors. I'm really glad I was young during that toy collecting time. My dad was only mildly interested in collecting. He wanted to find the stuff that I was looking for, and he'd play with me for a little bit, but then he'd lose interest. lol It's an interesting thing. For example when Nintendo came out, he got one for us all to play. My mom and him actually played Mario, Duck Hunt, and Jaws for awhile, but once they got bored with it they never played a video game again. It's just interesting. I can't think of ever giving up playing a video game in some capacity. lol Anyways, hope all is going well! | Miss M's Top 10 Retro Toys of 2015! | Jan 22, 2016 | |
| 2400 | Article | munkysrench | This is your bro Stephen by the way, lol. I remember the majority of these on TV growing up with you. Toonami was a blast to watch on Friday and Saturday nights when there was nothing left to do on the weekend. I bought the Guyver series as well as the first couple volumes of Voltron on DVD when I first got stationed to Grand Forks. One lesson I learned from that is they were only fun to watch when you're a kid, and don't care about the dialogue. Watching it again was painful as an adult, because nothing anybody was saying made sense (there was a point in the Guyver where an enemy was like, "Feel the wrath of 100 million volts!", like he really didn't know how much power he had). I was glad to see Suncoast, as well as Sam Goody's just because of how obscene their prices were. Good article, bud. Thinking of writing one on here myself soon. | Anime memories | Jul 15, 2015 | |
| 2401 | Article | munkysrench | I also remember them kicking you out of their house for not letting Jesse play his own game! Hahaha, you loved your video games back then... | How to ruin a friendship without really trying | Jul 16, 2015 | |
| 2468 | Article | munkysrench | Yeah I remember that. (Our stepdad) Tim was PISSED! Oh yeah, remember in that cul-de-sac picture where the basketball hoop was? I played many a game of street basketball there.. | How to ruin a friendship without really trying | Aug 06, 2015 | |
