My most coveted toy as a 5 year old. As a child, I missed out on these big action figures. I'm talking about Kenner's, 6 Million Dollar Man. I saw other boys playing with them , but I...

I'm a rebel, and I'm going to post whatever my carefree cranium decides to dream up. Do you remember that show Fraggle Rock? I know, it's an old show. It dates me back to the time of the dinosaurs,...

Gobots and Zoids? Yes, this another trip down memory lane. These were the smaller versions of the Transformers toys, which were cheaper, and just as much fun back in the day. Bandai was a company that produced the toys,...

This had it's popular run in the 1970s, where the action figures had life-like hair. The toy was less army/combat related, since war was going on in the real world and anything military wasn't a good thing. As...

No action figure playset is complete without a base or headquarters, and No headquarters were better than the G.I. Joe/Cobra headquarters. From a selection of these vintage toys, we'll go over the main bases in the toy line. Some...

From the biggest and baddest, to the smallest, oldest and newest. Every Joe toy and every Cobra toy was cool in it's own right. Obviously the G.I. Joe toy line wouldn't just have action figures standing around and holding...
