2758	Article	kidcoffee	It was awful..or at least it was until I found out that G.I Joe's could be fixed. That was epic. I was never so lucky fixing MOTU figures, but those I tended to be more gentle with. In any event my mother liked to throw a wrench in most of my plans growing up, but I suppose we also shouldn't have been shaking down the neighborhood kids for their money. In any event this was just one of many schemes I ran as a child which I am sure will find their way into more articles.		Oct 02, 2015
2759	Article	Vaporman87	YES! You included Scare Glow... easily my favorite "baddie" in the entire 80's MOTU line. And I never owned him. Nope. He was one that eluded me, even though I always wanted him. Needless to say I was happy to get multiples of him when the Classics line arrived. And he's still awesome. Glow-in-the-dark, wicked bladed scythe, wrist band and chain with a Castle Grayskull lid and a special key inside... just awesome. Aside from that, I was thinking Bad-To-The-Bone's catch phrase should instead be that sound that Goofy makes when he falls off a cliff. AHHH hoo hoo wee! Even in death, Mr. T can kick the butts of fools. And yes, earwax is an issue all skeletons deal with, but are too embarrassed to bring to the attention of medical professionals.	5 Coolest Retro Skeleton Action Figures	Oct 02, 2015
2760	Article	Vaporman87	I do hope so. I just wish I could recall more of my own money making schemes. Other than selling junk at yard sales, lemonade stands, and selling baseball cards.	Yo Joe	Oct 02, 2015
2761	Article	Rick Ace Rhodes	Cool article. GI Joe was kind of foreign to me as a kid. Given the time period of my childhood, GI Joe wasn't making the rounds again until around when I stopped playing with toys.	Yo Joe	Oct 03, 2015
2762	Article	Rick Ace Rhodes	I might be the only person on this planet who doesn't like Scare Glow over the original Skeletor.	5 Coolest Retro Skeleton Action Figures	Oct 03, 2015
2763	Article	mickyarber	Love this article. I remember when my Dad showed me how I could fix my GI Joes. He took me to our local hardware store and got me a little screw driver and a small bag of O-rings. I set up a little area in my room just for working on Joes. It wasn't long before I had my broken ones fixed, and then was onto making custom figures. Such good memories of those time. Really fun article.	Yo Joe	Oct 03, 2015
2764	Article	kidcoffee	@Rick Ace Rhodes I had almost forgot about the great Joe drought that hit just when I was starting to lose interest in toys. For me it's hard to imagine a time without Joe as they were so prevalent during my childhood. I'm glad to see they seem to be making a bit of a comeback although I think this line is more geared to nostalgic nerds such as myself still wanting to cling to their own childhood. @mickyarber Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot. Looking back I wish I had thought to entitle this article O Joe as those little rings changed everything. Long forgotten fallen heroes restored back to their prime, and with the help of the Baroness' body I could finally custom craft myself a Lady Destro. It was too much fun.	Yo Joe	Oct 03, 2015
2765	Article	scojer	I use to remember the houses where I got floss or healthy stuff. I'd never go back to those houses again. I remember the houses that were decorated I would go back a few minutes later and get even more candy from them! They would give out the biggest hauls, and I just couldn't help going back a second time. The thing that made those front liners awesome, is that they would often recognize me, and say "Back for more?" They didn't seem to mind putting even more candy into my bag.

2766	Article	Hoju Koolander	I feel your pain with having to explain yoyr costume to people. I have had many years of costumes only I understood. The Shadow, Buckethead, these are not well known entities in the popular culture. I wonder if kids now tip each other off on Twitter, etc. "OMG,The McCarthy's have full size Hershey bars!"

2767	Article	NLogan	<img src="http://www.toymania.com/334archives/clash/charon.jpg"> Charon the Boatman of the Clash of the Titans figure line and Scareglow of the Masters of the Universe top my list along with Skeletor. Here are a few more not mentioned: The entire MTC Nightmare Warriors figures line were skeletons from different eras Major Bones WWII Soldier, Spartacus Roman Legionnaire, Geronimo Indian Warrior, Sir Lancelot Knight, Captain Kid Pirate, and Pancho Villa Revolutionary. Ribs and Crossbones of Remco's Pirates of the Galaxseas line, Skullman and Skullface of the Remco Warrior Beasts line, Jewel Thief of the Remco Conan line, Skulkur of the Hasbro Conan line, the Skeletons of Sith and the Lich of LJN's Advanced Dungeons and Dragons PVC figures line, Prime Evil and Scared Stiff of Shaper's Filmation's Ghostbusters figures line, T-800 Endoskeleton of Kenner's Terminator 2 line, D Compose of Hasbro's Inhumanoids line, and all of Kenner's skeletal dinosaurs of the Bone Age figures line.	5 Coolest Retro Skeleton Action Figures	Oct 04, 2015
