Hello Everyone,
I am new to the site and hope to make some new friends here as well as find avenues to finding some of my favourite toys I had as a child. I used to have a huge toybox full of "guys" as I used to refer to them and somehow they disappeared over the years. Most were tossed by my dad but I admit to retiring a few of them myself due to rough play. My most cherished ones were as follows, starting from my all time favourites to ones I remember fondly:
Lords of Light- I had all three monsters and the purple emperor. My all time favourite childhood toy. I would sleep with them in my bed lol.
Blackstar (ones you put flint in their backs)-Had Bat guy, Sea guy, Bee
Sectaurs- I had all of these and loved them all
Masters of the Universe- Had a good amount of these, watched the cartoon just about every day after school.
Muscle Men- I remember girls liked these just as much as the boys which was unusual for a toy. I had about a hundred of these in a shoebox which mysteriously vanished lol. (dad)
G.I. Joe- Everyone had these lol. In my opinion best toy for actual playing/outdoor use.
I am interested in learning about all types of action figures but my knowledge is mostly related to 80s toys. I am also willing to contribute any information that may help others "remember" certain toys.
As far as getting some of my old toys back I could live without most of the toys I used to have but I would like to get those Lords of Light back!
