Old toylines

hope you could post your old toys or any 80's or early 90's era comic/TV/movie related toylines


here's mine....maybe some of you know John Blackstarr, an 80's are animated series..same animation company with He-Man i think....I want to collect this toyline...but it is very very rare on E-bay...I can vividly remember that it was just left ignored all around toyshops in the Binondo/Ongpin/Divisoria area and Cash and Carry many many years ago during the He-man/Gi.Joe/T.F. Gen1 era...those were the good old days :)

*sorry for the substandard picture quality*

old toylines, hmm. how i pine for a new Centuruions line done Sigma6-style...

- last "power extreme!" maximal

Wow! that should be nice lastmaximal!

How about a resculpted Thundercats, Silverhawks and Tigersharks...either by The Four Horsemen or Stan Winston :)

If someone re-issued the old toy lines, I hope it would remain loyal to the original looks and not "re-invented" or "anime-esqued" renditions. I like how DCD rendered Looney Tunes and the way McFarlane did Hanna Barbera.

well, McF and DCD weren't really updating Looneys and Hanna Barbera -- they were capturing classic moments in plastic as it were. objective achieved, i believe.

it's also going to work on a case-to-case basis -- for the examples, there's nothing much indelible about the character aside from their now-iconic looks. good thing there's nothing particularly striking about LT or HB that needs to be updated for the current day [more on dialogue and joke content than appearances], so that's safe. those superhero-ish Looney Tunes, though... well, it's something new and unrelated mostly just referencing the old, so i can personally let that slide. :D

also, the original concepts don't always translate... "80's futuristic" is different from current futuristic, for instance [we don't dress like their then-future 2005 or 2006-era characters do, or drive flying cars, although i wish we did!]. same thing for "this character looks barbaric and tribal" -- diffrrent aesthetic design concepts from then and now. i know i wouldn't mind those redesigned Thundercats, maybe with less of an identifiable 80's look [and articulation, PLEASE -- updated He-Man and TMNT would've been a lot more fun for me if they had that].

i do agree that reinventors, as it were, would do well not to go too far or to reinvent for the sake of it... that rarely works as well as it's hoped to [i'm not too groovy on Jason Todd-as-Red Hood for that reason, although i respect the possibility of good stories from it at least].

- last "sorry for the long-winded response :D" maximal

here are my thundercats figures:

Thanks Arlan. Nice to see more and more familiar faces here at AFHub...had the disc checked...it's working fine...it's playable on PCs...guess I have to change my DVD player :D

I love this thread! nothing beats the sweet smell of nostalgia! :afro:

Oh, and I think I still have the my old fig of Blackstar's Nemesis, will post pics of him here soon B)
