I want to see some dangerous toys.  This basically involved an easy bake oven that made white hot rubbery plastic bugs that would stick and melt to anything (including skin) if they werent allowed to cool.  Battlestar Gallactica Missle Launcher, it killed two kids, blinded one and shredded another intestines.. sorry but LOL. and Im not kidding. (1979) And I'll just link this last one cause its from 1951, but its the most unsafe toy ever. Read why, you will drop a Holy Smurf www.strangepolice.com/content/item/121332.html |

Another G.I. Joe commercial that brings back memories.
I had almost all of Destor's Iron Grenadier vehicles and figures.
The D.E.M.O.N. was a sweet vehicle.

Hey Madison any idea on why The Power of Force line didn't sell well at all? Because it wasn't really sold in the US to begin with really. By that point, ROTJ was long out of theaters and interest was dying. Kenner was moving on and dumped them on international markets mostly and a very few outlets in the States, but not enough that you'd notice. At least, that's how I think it went, memory's a tad foggy. I would have KILLED for that Amanaman figure back then. |

I know from reading on the rebelscum forums The Jedi line didn't sell well at all and the POTF line just around 500 total figures were made for the line. What figures stores had left they mark them down. I know that the only figures that were not sold in the US were Anakin Skywalker, Nikto, Gamorrean Guard, AT-AT Driver, and Yak Face. Those carded figures can cost you around $1,000 to $2,000 nowadays.
If we only knew then what we then what we know now

Also if the POTF line had done well the new line would have been called Star Wars is Forever: Picture of the Imperial AT-IC - All-Terrain Ion Cannon  from this website on the cancel line theswca.com/images-speci/85LineExt/index.html |

If we only knew then what we then what we know now yeah, knew it had something to do with some of them only getting overseas releases. Still, even the ones that got released over here I never saw a single one of the "new" figures ever in a store. Saw some of the older re-release figures on POTF cards, but none of the new figs. |

I have the mountain and the entire collection somewhere in storage. Two things that frustrated me on it though was A: Most of the ones I got were those horrible neon colors that came out later and B: There was no spot for the creature that came with the Nintendo game. |

I'm sorry, but this thread needs about 100% more Dino-Riders. I'm just too lazy to find pictures, but....Dinosaurs with rocket launchers and laser guns poking out of their body....NOTHING can ever be cooler   |

Madison do you still got the ring and the belt or did you get rid of it? That always surprise me that Kenner made a figure of Amanaman back in the day for such a minor character. If don't pay attention You won't see him in Jedi |

I *think* they're still in storage somewhere, but even if they are, I haven't seen that stuff in years and probably never will. Long story.
