Transformers, MASK, He Man, Visionairies, and those weird

Transformers, LEGO, G.I. Joe, toy-guns and toy-cars

ninja turtles, transformers, and then x-men (i'd "direct my
own movies" with the x-men/turtles, that was way after the
transformers years...)

actually...the topic was reading "whats your favorite toy

I was about to get in here and answer
something...that...erhm...could have been a problem

plastic coloured cubes with numbers on it, i liked...

...and also a friend's minitel, because i could type text on
it. i would spent entire hours typing text at this minitel.

- of course, that was before i got video games : )

also plushes but i don't consider plushes being toys...
and... i still have all my plushes and still sleep with them
: )

i'd also make "movie scenes" or something like that with
characters in lego landscapes but i never liked building
with legos.

Legos, I used to be a fairly talented Lego engineer, huge
complexes of towers and dungeons and rooms and pits and
walkways and everything. I keep saying I'm going to go buy a
ton of Lego sets someday and try to build another huge
thing, but I never get around to it. Those things are
fucking expensive!

Never EVER follow the instructions that come with it.

And I've still got a lot of my old He-Man, Ninja Turtles,
Transformers, GI Joe etc figures, I don't like throwing
anything away. There's probably poisonous mold growing on
some of them by now. That's their problem.

And, of course, lot's of Star Wars figures and the mandatory
Lego

There is some PS wrestling game that features characters
from the range. There is also a re-issue of them I think...

Despite what people said, only about 10o of them were
actually "rare" (occuring less frequently than the others).
You can still get them quite cheap on ebay:

I've been considering getting a pack of 30 or so for a while
now to decorate my monitor with.

There was a cel-shaded Ultimate Muscle game for Gamecube
released a few months ago, I heard it was pretty good. Was
this based on those toys? I remember I had a few of those
things.

Does anyone remember Battle Beasts? They had little shiny
elemental symbols on their chests... fire, water, wood,
wind, etc. Cute little animals with absolutely badass battle
armor. They came in boxes with a dozen or so. I've only got
a few left, I used to have millions.

This guy has a flamethrower. Fire elemental, obviously.

The original ONES were all a shade of pink, it discoloured
over time and ended up a bit darker... the ONES from next
batch (same figures) were also pink, but the plastic was
better so they didn't discolour with time. The coloured ONES
came later- originally they were special ONES boxed with the
wrestling ring/with multipacks etc, but later they did packs
of all coloured ONES. The later, colour ONES were different
figures (or at least in differnet poses) to the original
pink ONES. There are some more modern pink ONES, but they
are quite bright and shiny, not like the old matt ONES.

I know I took the mick a bit with all those ones, but the
info is serious :)

That main guy, the one in the screenshot and all the boxes,
called "muscle man" is some japanese character who features
in cartoons/comics etc. I think he was from the 70s and kept
going even when the toys disappeared. I may get the game if
it's not import only...

I had one of those rubix snakes, they were excellent until I
figured it out and it got boring, (nowhere near as hard as a
rubic cube)

plenty of lego, transformers toys, my brother was into these
"my little pony" toys, what a freak!

the day I got my nes my whole life changed, and I think for
the better, where would my life be without all those
videogames I've played?

I liked the Rubik's snake cos it wasn't like the cube where
you had to solve it and that was it. You could make the
snake into loads of shapes, a duck, a dog, a frog, a ball, a
swan, a spaceship etc etc.

I would spend hours playing with my little snake when I were
a kid :)

I had the brown/cream coloured Rubik's snake, that was
excellent!

I had a load of the Star Wars original stuff, and Lego (not
Legos) was a firm favourite also.
