What about everyones bizarro He man fave! Skunkor!

You mean of course Stinkor!

But without shadow of a doubt...Transformers. Fantastic stuff them. Erm...until the end run where the imagination ran dry, and there was a sudden glut of neon plastic needing used.

My sincere apologies Mr mystery! whatever his name was...he stinks! can you by any chance remember the name of the cool green swamp looking guy who oozed green gloop out of his mouth and had suction cup hands?

The cunningly and unexpectedly named 'Leech' one of Hordak's Evil Horde.

Though he didn't gob green stuff. Not in the British toy anyways?

maybe it was me putting green gloop in him? he had a push button on his back, maybe It was to make his face stick to stuff? but somehow I decided it'd be useful for sucking up and spitting out gloop! heh! the ingenuity of kids eh!

'Leech' would've taken me years to get that!

Maybe you should change your avatar to Mr He man? and the name of the guy who was basically a bee was?
and the guy who looked like a lobster with a massive kick ass claw?

I can't believe that no one thought of Boglins and Micromachines!

Dunno what Boglins are! but sounds kinda harry potter-ish! and I did put Micro machines up! how dare you even think that I, a respectable child of the 80's could forget such vehicular fun from the greatest decade ever! :-)

Buzz-Off and Clawful, in that order.

Oh my, you are, THE MAN! :-)


o.k then what about the snake guy with the super long bendy arms?

Hmmm...Snakemen....might have been Rattlor. Certainly not King Hiss, Snakeface or the kinkily named Tung-Lashor.

Linky to Boglins

http://www.retroist.com/2008/03/10/boglins/

Ahh Boglins. Never had one, always wanted one.

If I'm right in thinking, you also wound up with Hairy Boglins, Water Boglins, and were at least threatened with flying Boglins?

I had a couple of the miniboglins that came in an egg, cant believe I forgot about them

Was mighty max 90's or 80's? Those were amazing.

I had one that was a coiled up snake that opened into a cursed Egyptian mausoleum. Many an hour wasted on that

paintball realy started taking off in the late 80's. I still have my original SPLAT MASTER & Tippman 68 Special semi-auto.

Well I was Only just born in the late 80'S but I remeber getting my older brothers Lego, Aliens/predator toys , Gi-joes ,Teenage mutant turtles action figures.

Thoses were the best of times playing with those toys as a kid

Stinkor. How about Mod you lok.The cartoon really stunk I watched the hell out of it but i was always pissed. He never cut anyone. I just wanted to see He-man just blast that stupid ass beastman in his grille just once. merman was serious. he was like king of all evil ocean stuff but he took orders from Skelator?!

I hated the GI Joe cartoon too. Again I watch the hell out of it and got pissed. The missles hit the helicopters the dudes are bailin way before they get hit. They shot lasers and everybody on the Joe team had the same gun-Dumb. Nobody got shot until the movie.

I still have a F1 Illustrator...

No mentions of bluebird's hero gladiators? I am shocked.

There were Smurfs. And they were blue.

Ah Smurfs! always thought it strange and a little kinky that there was only one smurfette? but a lot of boy smurfs.....hmmmm

Um Karon. wtf? I love listening to DMX myself but I don't consider him one of the best toys from the 80's! :-)

I second the call for dino riders, but this list is not complete without mentioning silver hawks.

Seconded. I had a bucket full of those things. I loved them in all their red, yellow, blue and green glory. I could tell each one apart by touch alone.

Oh hell yeah, silverhawks ruled!
