I have Stinkor. he's awesome. the rest of this list is pretty terrible, though. seriously who the hell wanted a Burne Thompson figure? To be fair, Burne did get more screen time on the cartoon series, then maybe 45% of the other figures in the collection.

Hell, they had more screen time than Burne ever did.

I had Grizzlor. He was so soft and cuddly (and provided me with the ability to type out that last awkward sentence).

Hell, they had more screen time than Burne ever did. Actually if I recall there was, in fact the whole Channel 6 supporting cast were all part of the "Turtle Toon" figure series. tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_%28action_figures%291992 also saw the production of Toon Turtles. These figures took on an almost stereotypical approach to being humorously cartoon-like. Each character bore a friendly, animated appearance with a glittery paint job and including some type of "cartoon" action feature (Raphael's head spun, Michelangelo's tongue unraveled in Tex Avery fashion, etc.). On the upside, this series produced a more "cartoon accurate" painted version of Shredder and introduced toys not previously made for many longtime characters from the cartoon series such as the Neutrinos and April O'Neil's co-workers, Irma Langinstein, Burne Thompson and Vernon Fenwick.

I had Moss Man, Stinkor, and Grizzlor, but always hated the orb creatures and refused to collect them or count them as MOTU characters (in my little childhood world...if you didn't come with a mini-comic, you weren't official!)
I still have all of them, but Stinkor and Moss Man's scents wore out long ago. Sadly, when I got the Slime Pit for birthday one year, I read that you weren't NOT supposed to put Moss Man in the pit...yet they depicted a picture of Moss Man getting slimed in the pit (it was actually Beast Man...heh heh...) so immediately I grabbed Moss Man, threw him in, and slimed the crap out of him. It wasn't as bad as the book warned, and he wasn't ruined at all.
MOTU Classics actually rereleased Moss Man, and gave him a 200x cartoon inspired head. He looks even more badass than he did before, if such a thing is possible! Probably one of my favorite figures.

That was one of the great things about the Star Wars toylines is that they made figures for the obscure background characters who did nothing. I dont know why that would get ragged on.

Where are the Star Wars smoldering corpses? That seems like it'd fit in well.

I think the one that's made me laugh the most so far is "Chuckles" the G.I. Joe action figure mostly because they start the article off with the line, "Look at this asshole." For some reason hating a toy enough to actually designate a personal insult onto it as though it was an actual person for some reason, made me laugh hysterically.

It's like Penn Jillette wrote the article.

I had every one of the Masters of the Universe figures there.
In fact I bought Moss Man and Stinkor on the same day.

I remember I got one second hand that hadn't been used and proceeded to cover all my toys and most of the carpet in slime. Seriously, I wouldn't know how to "use" it without making a massive mess and having to throw it out NOW, let alone when I was a child. Were you meant to reuse the slime after?

Surprised to only see 3 GI JOEs on there, though the list would've been incomplete without them. Also, I guess they forgot about Mega Marines/Mega Monsters (which was right at the end of the toy line, which was when I think even Hasbro finally said "Enough.")
And Bob the Goon from BATMAN is on there?! Awww.....

I don't think I still have him, but a few years ago I found my old Stinkor and HE STILL smelled!

If I had Burne he would have been cannon fodder

I could understand though, if you said you had a heck of a time digging the goop out from all the joins and stuff on the figures. I was pretty young when I got mine, so I don't remember exactly how many times I used/reused it. But I do remember there was this "toy machine" thingy that you could pay $.25 to and get a thing of slime, which I used with the slime pit over and over again (the machine I'm talking about is like those ones that you can pay now a days and get candy, or gaudy fake jewelry, or stuff like that).

I'm saddened that I only owned 4 of those: Pizza Face, Farmer Michelangelo, the Penguin Commandos, and the duck. I remember wanting April's boss and Bob, though.
