You be surprised most collectors actually do want them I'm pretty rabid, and even I'm like "...for what?!" People have different reasons

Remember the Street Fighter II/Mortal Kombat line which were repurposed GI Joe molds? That gave us some real headscratchers. Like Reptile's boat. Why the HELL does Reptile need a speedboat. I remember wanting that solely for the Reptile figure. I wanted it because it was a re-mold of one of my first GI Joe vehicles.

Sadly, thats one of the few thundercats figures i had as a kid (the other ones were two of the villains, the fat green one and the guy who looked like the abominable snowman). Never got the ones i wanted (Lion-O and Panthro).

I have an Earl Hebner action figure. I think it came with a ring though.

95% of all star wars toys tbh x Pretty much, I remember I had this guy as a kid: He was in Return of the Jedi for 2 seconds and all he did was slightly bow. However I remember giving him a lot to do when I would play with my figures, even though I had no idea what his name was or anything. wasn't this guy Emperor Palpatine's catamite or something?

The Kevin Nash WCW figure came with a referee. So that was handy.
I almost forgot, I won a WCW Dennis Rodman figurine. It came with a basketball hoop, a glittery jacket and rubber pimp hat. Why I bought it, i'll never know.

I also want to say that "unnecessary toys" and "pizza thrower" don't even belong in the same sentence.

The He-man Masters of the Universe line is probably quite unique then seeing as it included. Mosquitor Who was really cool but never actually appear in any cartoon. So he was unecessary but he was awesome enough to get by. Such a cool little gimmick too of blood pouring through his body when you push the button at the back.

I remember me and my cousins used to play SuperPowers and we'd take turns picking characters and weapons and vehicles. Whoever picked last always got this: It never made sense to us why Superman would need this thing. How does Superman pilot that thing? You don't see him holding any handles on that packaging photo? Does he use Kryptonian telepathy?
