Mine were Warplanets followed closely by these Command and Conquer toys

Have the Mammoth Tank, Flame Tank, Stealth Tank, and Orca. Apparently, a NIB one is worth like a hundred bucks nowadays though I doubt I'll ever sell them. I used to have big battles with them.

>Do they deteriorate badly?
There has been a few reports of people using the vacuum feature and stretching the limbs then having it explode. Little bits of shrapnel from inside then scratched some guys cornea.

Mine is fine though so it probably has to do with storage conditions and/or pulling obscenely hard despite the toy being super durable back in the day when it was released.

I'm pretty sure mine is still in the attic somewhere. I somehow never managed to rip it open and I played hard with that motherfucker constantly. I mean i took it everywhere and slept with the thing. What would break is the nozzle on the vacuum. My dumbass cousin broke it and my world came unglued so mum ordered just the pump. But overall it was a very durable and well made toy, just like stretch Armstrong

Because it was these. Unless you're too young to be on toy or your parents didn't love you.

Even Beast Wars is too old for a lot of modern 4chan to have experienced.

I will never not love stretch armstrong and anything stretch armstrong related.

Man, I want a revival of that toyline so bad.

It's 2016, I'm 27, and I want a stretch armstrong for christmas.

There is nothing to be proud about being here for 11 years. Part of the whole appeal of 4chan over the traditional forums that has essentially killed that old format is how there's no bullshit about seniority of postcount here.

What's even more hype than Vac Man? A factory that makes his bastard children. Hell yeah.

Came out pretty late in the line. I think I got mine at a closeout store as a kid.

Uh, what? Sorry, but newfags have always been looked down upon here. Especially after the Summer of 2007.

Yea, I was probably past my autistic vac man/stretch Armstrong phase. But man for about a year I took ol vac man every place I went.

The QC issues with Leonidas makes me a bit nervous about OpOp.
>>
>>6022019
I found two of these in the wild. One didn't have figures in it, the second one was complete but sadly the little fellas didn't last for a week out of the box. They were basically rubber balloon, and i'm so sad about it. I love their design still today.
My two VacMan are safe and sound in their boxes though.

Battle Beasts, baby!

I still have all mine in the closet about three feet from me. Had the Deer Chariot too, but that's long gone now.

I have a batman the animated series figure from a real while back. It's in bad condition but I display it for nostalgias sake.

>My dumbass cousin broke it and my world came unglued
I feel your pain brother. When my lil sister found out Stretch Armstrong was filled with corn syrup, she thought it would be like maple syrup and bit him open. Poor Fetch Armstrong suffered the same fate.
>>
In rough order by age,

> Fisher Price Adventures Castle & Pirates
Would have the largest most epic battles, two factions warring over the same castle, the kings would always get betrayed and the second in commands would wind up becoming the kings, right when the battle seemed decided pirates would show up and arch enemies would have to team up to stop the pirates.

>Jurassic Park
This is probably the greatest toyline ever made. Each figure was the complete package, figure weapons, gear, and a dinosaur. If you only had a single JP toy you could have a good time. But I had(and have) the entire line, so it was heaven. Rubber dinos, tear off wounds, break apart cars and gates, rip off human limbs.. this was the GOAT

>War Planets/Mighty Max/Micro Machines
If it involved mass world building on a small scale I was in love. I dug Star Wars but always had more fun with entire armies battling through locations than with a handful of figures and a couple of ships too big for me to fly around.

>Lego, particularly Aquazone and any following undersea themes
Does it even need an explanation?? Atlantis was a few years ago at this point so we are due a fantasy Underwater theme update real soon!

>Mezco's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
While only two releases, Cabin Control Nemo is my single favorite toy released.. ever. Desperately hoping for an updated figure with 1/12 Collective!
>>
>>6022236
funny thing is, I see them pop up every once in a while.

got a used books/movies/games/etc store called Edward McKay's here in NC. Last year someone dumped a box of unopened zbots to sell. U wanna talk about a nostalgia trip... then someone comes in and dumps unopened star wars toys... the kenner toys from late 90s. Even had slave leia.

over the winter both stores in greensboro and winston salem looked like a 90s toy store haha.
