I'm currently searching eBay looking at some of my old action figures and toys...so many childhood moments spent playing with them. Early faves were ghost busters and Batman..I used to have alot of ghost busters figures...i used to run around the supermarket with my proton pack on my back...(the trap was in the car  ) I had the hologram gun..and even the cheap tubs of slime you could buy! When batman 89 came out i wanted EVERY figure...i had die cast models of the batmobile/joker van/batwing i used to take everywhere...i also remember going to every toy shop i could to buy the bob the goon figure (i have no idea why lol) My favorite memories have to be with Jurassic park! I got almost every dinosaur figure...all the humans...the Christmas morning i got the Huge Compound play set was one of the best ever....i must've played with them for over a year!! What were your favorite toys/figures? |

G.I. Joes, and by extension, the Marvel 3.75" figures by Hasbro.

Growing up, I had the DC super powers line (I had Hawkman, Firestorm, Green Lantern, Flash, Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Penguin& Mr. Freeze). There was also the X-men line and the marvel line, which I still have alot of them in my mom's attic. I also had G.I. Joes, Hasbro WWF figures, Galoob WCW figures, and lastly the Power Rangers line.
I also had a super team consisting of Marshall Bravestarr (with the Lone Ranger as his sidekick), Ace McCloud, Sport 1 from the Bionic 6, Green Lantern from the DC Superpowers line, Captain America from the Marvel line, Black suit Spider-Man from the Secret Wars line, Red Challenger from the American Gladiators line, Tigra from Thundercats and Flashback from the SilverHawks.

DC Universe Classics
The 12-inch G.I. Joe figures
And I used to collect the Ruthless Aggression figures like you wouldn't believe!
Also had a MOTHERLOAD of Power Rangers action figures...
But some of my favorite ones were from Disney's Aladdin. I even had the Cave of Wonders playset. Loads of fun memories there! ;D

The DC Kenner Superpowers set was the one I was closest to having the total set. Sadly I lost or ruined most of them. Now I think I only have Wonder Woman and Aquaman in storage at my parents.

The Masked Rider! I shit you not, I thought that was the greatest action figure ever made. 2nd was Goldar from the Power Rangers. I was devastated the day I lost that. I could never find it and never saw it in another toy store. My childhood died a slow death after that.

I could never find it and never saw it in another toy store. My childhood died a slow death after that. I had a Masked Rider figure as well, but the antennas fell off and he looked so...naked without them. And Goldar was awesome. Always teamed him up with the shark-guy to take on the Rangers (minus Zack however, I never got him because I couldn't find him anywhere  ) |

As a kid, my favorites were... Early years: Ghostbusters (Kenner), WWF (Hasbro), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Playmates) Mid childhood: X-Men (Toy Biz) and Batman: The Animated Series (Kenner) Late childhood: Star Wars (Kenner) and WWF (Jakks) I think overall, I'm going with the X-Men's many lines of figures. From '91 until either '97 or '98, Toy Biz was putting out consistently interesting figures based on the cartoons and comic books... a favorite line of mine was the Age Of Apocalypse line, and a solid initial 8 or 9 installments of cartoon based character models. Even though ideas were becoming scarce near the end of the nineties, the craft for sculpting figures reached a high point. The X-Men Monster Armor line, for instance, had a very stupid, uninteresting gimmick of attaching monster parts to some X-Men and villains. But, underneath that garbage was some nice character models. I'm nerding out thinking about this, I've not seen these things in over a decade. www.toymania.com/archives/xmen/xmonster.shtml |

Jurassic Park toys as well with me, i had a playroom, that i found some cool forest pic's that i had taped to the bottom of the wall, and had the compound set in the middle and all the dinosaurs..i loved the big T-Rex they made that you can put action figures in...i later used that T-Rex in my action figure fed as the stipulation of Sting vs Hollywood Hogan that if Hogan lost he got eaten by the T-Rex...
also played alot with ghostbuster figures, i still own the old ghosthouse and ecto 1!
and i also played with batman alot, i still own that mega huge batman forever batcave. that was the ultimate batman playset.
i also played with mighty max stuff alot, the largeish mountain playset was awesome when i was a kid...i actually still own that too.

 Invulnerable to everything except the sun. Which meant I had to be really strategic as to where I would use him. Mainly car ports, garages, and other various shaded areas. |

And, here's a relatively obscure honorable mention for coolest playset:  I was too young to have had the original Ewok Village, but this got quite the mileage out of my toy chest. Favorite vehicle/playset:  |

Rocklords, He-Man & The Hasbro WWF figures were the main ones I played with as a kid. Plus a variety of other figures. All just boiled down to massive royal rumbles with all the action figures I had. Nothing as amusing as watching Hordak smash Kevin costner's Robin hood out of the ring, lol.
Top 3. WWF Hasbro Jake Roberts 2. Duke Nukem: Captain Planet 1. Squeezor: Snakemen MOTU

1. WWF Hasbro figures
2. Monster in my Pocket
You can imagine how great it was when monster in my pocket started a wrestling line of figures.
3. Ghostbusters, the range was brilliant, spark spitting pull back ghosts, spring loaded traps and a toilet, what other toys can claim those figures amongst them? I doubt they'd even be made these days (awaits the wise-ass with several other examples). Plus they were good to cross over with other toys including WWF figures.

2. Monster in my Pocket You can imagine how great it was when monster in my pocket started a wrestling line of figures. Up until two days ago, I was only aware of the existence of wave 1 of MimP (and the NES exclusive figure). I had no idea there were several more waves of them afterward (though to be fair, it appears many of them were UK or Canada exclusives). |

Masters of the universe: Particular stand outs included Original He-man, Rio-Blast, Scare Glow, Ninjor, Mosquitor, Dragster, Dragon Blast Skeletor, and Thunder Punch He-man (whom I nicknamed "God Strength Power Punch He-man." Don't ask me why, LOL!)
Loved the Secret Wars figures, but only ever had 8 of them...I adored the later Marvel Super Heroes line that included Web Shooting Spiderman, Hulk (with bendy bar and boulder), Thor (with throwing Hammer and Lightning Bolt) and Captain America (with shooting Shield) being particular favorites.
Also loved the 89 Batman movie figures, especially Batman, Bob The Goon, and Joker.
Had lots of TMNT figures, but favorites included the shape shifting turtles (changed from normal turtle to their mutant forms) Slash (awesome evil ninja turtle), and Detective Donatello (complete with cheesy mask disguise and trenchcoat!)

As a kid, I had tons of Ghostbusters and Darkwing Duck figures. Today my favorite toy line is DCUC figures. I haven't bought a WWE figure in a while, but I used to collect a lot of those figures, mainly the Classic Superstar Series.
