In the late 80's Scratch-n-sniff and Strawberry Shortcake was all the rage, so why wouldn't Mattel jump on that train with their own Cherry Merry Muffin doll line. These dolls are adorable fantasy food characters with yummy scents and transform
From the DC Universe and Kenner Toys, in the 90's we got Swamp Thing. A cartoon and a small toy line, that kinda just sank into the bog. We talk all about the line this week and discover once interesting line.
Produced by Mattel to go along side the cartoon, Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future toy line might have been before its time. This week we talk all about one of the best gimmicks of the 80's.
The Mighty Ducks movie changed the NHL, but in 1996 when Mattel released the toy line for the Mighty Ducks cartoon, less changed then you would think. Did you have any of these duck figures that were right on the heals of the TMNT Playmates lin
With the success of Barbie, Mattel brings the boys of the 70's a line of figures that have action written all over them. Enter BigJim and all his buddies. From camping, hiking, olympics competition and even some secret agent (004) work, Big Jim
In the early 80's, electronics were all the rage. Enter Coleco and the ColecoVision system. Working with Nintendo, their dream was to bring a home computer, and not just a video game system, to all the homes of America.
The world is threatened by the evil Skull Squadron, but never fear, the Ring Raiders are here to save the day. We discuss this Matchbox line from the 80's and even talk a bit about our jewelry preferences.
In the late 80's Sungold brought us two lines of toys that go with the Halloween spooky season better than any others. Monster and Spook Chasers were perfect for cheep toys to play monster mash with.
Mid 1980's and Jim Henson is the largest names in puppets, so why not team up with him to create a monster hand puppet. Between Henson and Clarke, they create the Boglins and released them through Mattel. Did you have any of these?
Remember Mad Max and the Thunderdome? Well in the mid 80's everybody wanted part of that style, and Tonka did just that. Releasing the Steel Monsters, these awesome toy trucks took everything we loved from Tonka and made it gnarly!
This toy line by Tiger Toys with gadgets more than gimmicks, but these were all kept under a hat. The Inspector Gadget line was sure to knock the socks off the kids when released back in the mid 90's.
We jump back just a few years to talk about the DC Primal Age line that was released by Funko. We also have a special guest this week, toy designer Reis O'Brien, who designed all of these figures and gives us the behind the scenes of designing
Remember those amazing Street Sharks, and then the Extreme Dinosaurs, we these aren’t those, but they were supposed to be a cross-compatible line from Street Wise Designs and Street Players. A small but mighty line that peaks our interests.
What do you get when you mix a DAM Troll and the TMNT Playmates line? Good thing Ace Novelty was there to let us all know. Listen as we talk about these Stone Protectors from the early 90's and let the craziness over take you.
Starting with comics, and moving into toys, McFarlane has done quite a bit, but this week we concentrate on the McFarlane Toys Movie Maniacs. Listen as we get a bit gory and talk about the horror line with special guest Aaron from Front Row Neg
Produced by Hasbro in 1986, the Moondreamers were very short lived. Listen as we dream our way through this episode all about the dolls that were all outfitted in a celestial theme, including a not so evil looking witch.
Get ready for a blast from the past with MEGO's World's Greatest Superheroes! These 8-inch action figures from the 70's and 80's were the ultimate tribute to the timeless world of comic book legends love today!
Evil creatures from the tail of Halley's Comet? That's exactly what Matchbox developed in the mid 80's to jump on the rare occurrence and created a small line of cars/parasite mix of toy that seem kinda creepy.
Produced by Tonka from 1985 to 1992, these adorable animal-shaped figures had lockable compartments on their backs to keep tiny treasures safe. Tonka Keypers provided imaginative play and a sense of personal ownership for children.
Mattel took us from Street Sharks to Extreme Dinosaurs, and what could be cooler than a T-Rex to play with? A metal T-Rex that can ride on a motorcycle. Weren't the 90's great! Listen up as we talk all about the Extreme Dinos.
Another line from the minds of Remco, we have the Pirates of the Galaxseas. A small line that was meant for playing with the Lost World of the Warlord or Warrior Beasts lines. An interesting line that had a specific look of skeletons.
From the minds that brought us Micro Machines, we got a baby doll line in the early 90's. Influenced by Kewpies and Betty Boop, these dolls are more for adults than kids, but who knew that in the 90's?
This week we look back at what is a beloved piece of gaming history. We talk the history of the Nintendo GameBoy released in 1989 and how is continues to be one of the most iconic and innovative video game consoles of all time.
This week we talked about another line that just happened to be one of the largest fads of the 90's, with an intersting back story coming all the way from the 1700s. Listen up as we talk about the school ban, artwork and the short life of POGS.
What happens when you mix action figures, bugs, and hand puppets? You get the mid 80's release of Sectaurs. In the short time that Coleco released toys, we got a few small lines, but Sectaurs might have been the most unique gimmick they tried.
