Not really a new/old 80s toy line, but one of the coolest comic covers EVER, IMO, featuring one of the 80s toy franchises. One of the greatest covers ever.

I'm showing up late to the party, but when I read this thread I was appalled by the lack of mention, love, and adoration for the Defender of the Universe.... Voltron!!!
How could you forget Voltron?!?!?!

How could you forget Voltron?!?!?! When I was a kid, my best friend next door got the cool Voltron with the five lions. The kid across the street got the one that was all the different space-cars that fit together. I got the crappy one that never got its own tv show, which was just three robots that stacked on top of each other.

Plus, I don't think we mentioned Voltron because that toy line gets a lot of love, I take it.

Ah, fair enough. I just didn't see my beloved Voltron in the "untouchables" list at the beginning, so I thought he was fair game to mention.
Another obscure toy line from the 80's crossed my mind while I was falling asleep last night. I haven't looked for pictures or a link to clips of the short-lived cartoon. But does anyone remember...
Spiral Zone?

They were known as R.A.T.s. in Europe but some were just a colour change from the Starriors
