Megaforce by Kenner

[angelo]

Anyone remember the failed movie/toyline/comic Megaforce? If you read Marvel in the 80's, you may remember seemingly every single issue for a year having a giant "Are you man enough for Megaforce?" ad. The movie was unwatchably bad (think it starred Barry Bostwick and Persis Khambata) and this whole platform was like the "New Coke" of GI Joe...

I am having no luck finding anything about the toy line - did it all get shelved and never released?

All I know is that there were some Matchbox cars. I have a couple of the buggies. I don't know about any figures.

wait, are u talking about the megaforce that had a ton of little vehicles with micromachine sized tanks and jets? if so then yes, there was a number of toys released. for both sides of the factions, i think they are the triads and the axis powers.

There were a few Hot Wheels vehicles issued from the Megaforce film in 1982; I'm not sure that they were planning on issuing anything else.

Kenner's 1989 Mega Force toy line had nothing to do with the film, but featured some awesome futuristic military vehicles.

Found this and thought it was pretty cool. I wish we had gotten these vehicles. I friggin loved MegaForce as a kid. I had a bunch of em mixed in with my micro machines (also loved and regret losing)

I've never gotten into micro-vehicle lines like this but I can definitely see the appeal. Plus, hey way easier to display than say, GI Joe vehicles.

I wonder how many of these I've come across during collecting and not known what they were. Some cool pieces here - thanks for posting the catalog.
