Nostalgia: Pick one figure from each toy line

[Joe Neglia]

choose 1 and only 1 figure from each of these action figure lines as your favorite. It has to be based as much as possible on the toy itself, not how much you liked the character in other forms (movies, comics, cartoons, etc)

GI Joe: A Real American Hero
Masters of the Universe
Transformers (G1)
Ghostbusters
Thundercats
TMNT
Star Wars

[Sir Woodrow]

Transformers: Kup, because I still have it after getting it for Christmas when I was 7
Masters: Thunderpunch He-Man I liked the smell of the Pop caps after they went off.
TMNT: Michaelangelo the first Turtle I got.

[Nerdkiller the threadkiller]

Would Beast Wars count? I mean, it was set in the G1 universe. If so, it would have to be Optimal Optimus.

GI Joe......Snake Eyes is like The Phantom and also has a wolf , he rawks !
TMNT......Leo or Casey , it was just so damn cool Caseys bag of weapons
Transformers......gotta say Prime
Defenders of Earth.......Garax , a robot made of ice is awesome
MASK......Trakker or Mayhem
MotU......classic HM or Skelly , the variants were pretty good also

['Foretold' Joker]

Let's see ...

GI Joe: A Real American Hero - Monstro-Viper
Masters of the Universe - Rattlor (Still lives on my shelf.)
Transformers (G1) - Didn't follow the toy line.
Ghostbusters - That Ghost Toilet Thing
Thundercats - Mumm-Ra
TMNT - Slash (Evil Turtle)
Star Wars - Only one I had was one of those green pig guards from jabba's palace. The Rancor would have my vote though, that toy was awesome.

Additional
Batman: Animated Series - Clayface
WWF: Hasbro - Jake Roberts (w/Snake)

[spec]

GI Joe: Snake Eyes. Bad-ass and ninja-like.
Masters of the Universe: Ram Man
Transformers (G1): Ravage
Ghostbusters: never had any
Thundercats: Only thing i remember having was this Snarf that held onto a pen/pencil, so can't really count that lame thing so another n/a
TMNT: didn't have any of these either
Star Wars: AT-AT

I was into the cartoons/movies of all of these, but for some reason only got into the toys of some and not others.

GI Joe: A Real American Hero - Storm Shadow: Cool name, looked awesome, and was the only character able to match/defeat the enigmatic Snake eyes!

Masters of the Universe - Oh man, so many cool figures here...hard to choose...I have to go with Scareglow. One of the most awesome looking action figures I've ever seen!

Transformers (G1) - I have to go with Soundwave...that figure was just awesome beyond awesome!

Ghostbusters - Always had a soft spot for "Tombstone Tackle" a GIANT football player that turned into a demonic thingy. Back in the day, he was one of the few strong guys able to hang with Thor, Hulk, and the like!

Thundercats - Lion-O. I loved that sword and claw he had!

TMNT - Without a doubt, SLASH!!! I'm a sucker for "evil versions" of existing good guys. Slash was far better than that doofus Tokka, and could kick the turtles asses all combined!

Star Wars - Luke Skywalker in his Cloud City uniform. One of the few I actually had...and I loved his lightsaber!

GI Joe: A Real American Hero: THIS is like asking me to pick between "which of your own children do you like the best" because GI Joe is my thing. As a child, my parents were scuba instructors and thus one of the first figures I got was Deep Six, the one with the dolphin or whatever in the hardhat dive suit, less bulky than the other version. Even for being antiquated in his suit, that guy went on SO many missions. Lakes, pools, hot tubs, bath tubs, wherever there was water and something to be dealt with, Deep Six was there. I still have him, too. Later on in life he and Torpedo teamed up (mostly because I got a Torpedo in the ARAH 1997 relaunch <_< lol) but that's aside the point. As I type this, I can't believe I'm picking Deep f***ing Six of all people, but yeah, he definitely got the most play time as a kid and he's the reason why whenever there's a diver figure in the newer 25th, Movie, and Pursuit of Cobra lines, I always buy it.

Masters of the Universe: I can't explain why, but I always adored Trap-Jaw.

Transformers (G1): I didn't get into Transformers til way later on in life, but if I'm allowed to use it, the recent "Reveal the Shield" Jazz is very G1 reminiscent, right down to his color scheme and robot mode appearance, and this series even includes the heat activated Autobot emblem!

Ghostbusters: Gotta go with Slimed Heroes Venkman. Was wearing his tan uniform and when you dipped him in cold water or squirted him with it he'd be covered in pink ectoplasm!

Thundercats: N/A

TMNT: Forgive me as I don't remember the series, but the ones that had the motorized action features? I think I had a Leo or a Raph that would breakdance on a manhole cover type thing. t was silly, but I remember being enamored with it. Honorable mention to Mikey with nunchuck twirling action.

Star Wars: Power of the Force Jedi Knight Luke. He was just so badass to me as a kid. He was ready for that final battle. Even if the cloak was barely flexible, it didn't hinder him and easily came off.

GI Joe: A Real American Hero-Destro
Masters of the Universe-none
Transformers (G1)-Six Shot

My brother bought me some badass toys.

[Deleted]

I never had any figures of my own aside from wrestlers - I was more into electronic games. But my brother had them.

GI Joe: Roadblock. Always liked Roadblock, he had the shaved-bald head before anybody else did and he was bad-ass; kinda like Samuel L. Jackson. If I did wrestling matches with my brother's Joes, he was always my babyface World champion. (And, he'd team with Alpine. I had Roadblock turn heel once, and even I wondered "why did I do that?")

TMNT: Casey Jones was hardcore! Had the golf-bag full of weapons. (Rafael was my favorite Turtle.)

Star Wars: We never actually had any of my own except for a Han Solo and a Stormtrooper, but a friend of my brother's had the Jabba the Hut with the pit. I always thought that was cool. (Now, as far as the vehicles, I absolutely LOVED the X-1. My cousin had one and I spent the whole week playing with that thing. I'm sure my mom and aunt wanted to hide it because it made this sound of lasers shooting when you pressed the button.)

[MiLo Duck]

GI Joe: A Real American Hero: Original Cobra Viper.
Masters of the Universe:Dragstor
Transformers (G1)Soundwave
Ghostbusters: Peter
Thundercats: Never had any of these, but I think that green toad lizard one. I wanted him but they never had the toon nor the toys much in my region.
TMNT: Panda Khan
Star Wars: Tie Fighter Pilot.

[Bo Rida]

Real American: Hulk Hogan
Masters of the Universe: Panthor but as he's best when Skeletor is riding him I'll go for King Hiss.
Transformers (G1?) - For some reason I liked the tiny ambulance over more complex figures.

Ghostbusters: So many greats but you can't beat Stay-Puft/Marshmallow man. Nice shout on the versatile Tombstone Tackle though, I often booked him against Bam Bam Bigelow.

TMNT: Donatello (Didn't have many)
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Leia
WWF: Papa Shango

[Alucard]

Somewhat surprised we haven't seen any "Slave" Leia's yet.

(yes, I still have mine <_<)

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

GI Joe- Cobra Comander
Masters of the Universe- He-Man
Transformers (G1)- Jazz
Ghostbusters- Winston
Thundercats: Never got into it.
TMNT- Ace Duck, though Donatello was my favorite.
Star Wars- I didn't get interested in anything SW-related until I was a teenager. It was the Episode 1 hype that made me curious.
