Nostalgia Toys. what did you play with as a child?
>>4530379
My mom got two of these at garage sales.
>>4530379
Got me in one post, good job OP. I had the pirate set as well.
SUPER VAN CITY
http://www.retrojunk.com/commercial/show/23801/micro-machines-super-van-city
>>4530379
That castle, my older cousin had one. I would bring over my pokemon and dbz figures and others would bring theirs. We would play for hours, I kinda miss playing with my cousins.
This was my first BW... sold all the other ones I had, but kept this one. Nostalgia's sake.
Too lazy to find a pic, but the blue guy from Mystic Knights of Tir na Nog.
He always won my action figure battles.
He also had his own lincoln log fortress
This guy. Ivar
>>4531193
Just to add this motherfucker. Had so much fun transforming all three animals back and forth, and if I felt like it, into the combined Magnaboss. Best gift ever.
>>4530379
Mah Nigga
Got it from a flea market when I was 5. Missing like half the guys and the cannon. Still fun.
Went to visit my cousins whom I'd never seen in Vermont (1500 miles away) in 4th grade; they had the same thing only with all the pieces. I was shocked at how much I'd been missing.
>>4531193
I had the redeco(?) of this guy, K-9. Same color scheme as my dog at the time, a German Sheppard.
>>4531238
Magnaboss truly was my favorite Beast Wars figure, there was literally never a dull moment with him as a whole or as individual robots.
Got this guy from Kay-Bee Toys around 96-98 along with Nimrod and Cable (the good ol' days of 3 for 9.99, having no idea who he was aside from the fact that he worked under Apocalypse and that was good enough for me. He was always the one I took on errands/trips, one Power Ranger Zord got old really quick.
I just may find one on eBay and see if my parents recognize him
>>4530379
>>4530380
>Was a poorfag as a kid
>No happy memories about most of these, was really envious of the kids who could get them and made fun of me
I had some really shitty Spider-Man bootlegs that I'm repainting and trying to make look decent right now.
Xevoz were my favorite line as a kid.
I always liked figures with swappable parts.
Rock em Sock em Robots was another line I loved.
>>4530379
>>4530380
>>4530646
>>4531193
>>4531218
>>4531238
I had all of these, though most of the playsets were yard sale finds.
Rescue Heroes.
>>4530646
Not that one, that's the mattycollector one that came out a few months ago that costs 300 dollars. You must have had the original.
>>4531520
I was going through my boxes the other day and found a Billy Blazes figure, shame it didn't have is axe backpack.
>>4531512
>tfw the eagle has Gold Plastic Syndrome
I actually managed to save the eagle in one piece until about one year ago when one of my nephews got his grubby mitts on it and broke it. Oh well.
>>4530646
NICE MEATBALL CHEEKS SKELEFAGGOT
>>4530849
My little brother had one. I would make my trendmasters godzilla stomp around in it. And he would make his army vehicles defend the city. Good times.
Man, if they made updated toys of Mystic Knights I would love to buy some. Those toys were so rad for their time.
behold, /toy/, my first Transformer!
>>4531520
Aww man I had so many rescue heroes. They were the shit. I had that fort, a bunch of smaller vehicles, and pic related the mac daddy of toys. That's right the fucking Rescue Heroes Aquatic Rescue Command Center. You know that owning this baby made you hot shit. I mean look at this kid. He knows he's the coolest motherfucker on the block because he has the godamn Rescue Heroes Aquatic Rescue Command Center.
>>4531193
Are you me? My pops got mine from a Walgreens when he went out to get medicine when I was sick as hell. First Beast Wars I remember owning
let's see who remembers this.

>kids this young posting in a nostalgia thread on 4chan
hey little boys, want some candy?
mighty max was the shit back then (even if it was the boy's version of polly pocket.)
>>4535945
Polly Pocket was awesome, I don't see the problem. I had several although fuck if I know where they are by now.
>>4530379
anyone remember what line hes from?
had this cool lion king set where you added water to the oasis and could make bubbles come up
can't find it on google though
>>4531506
Fuck yeah. These were so original. Loved playing the game with my brother.
I used to have some pirates that were Lego-esque but weren't Lego or Playmobil, it included the pirate ship and some smaller islands. Anyone know what i'm talking about?
>>4536242
I have this, but in different colors and under a different name. It's unbelievable how much fun this thing is even to this day, trying to time trial it and shit.
>>4536244
I would play it again if I had one.
>>4531520
I've been trying to sell mine for years. No one knows what they are.
>>4530379
I work in a daycare, we have that playset. My neighbors had one when I was a kid so I have overcome my nostalgia for it.
>>4536242
Holy shit im from russia and i have this!
Is this was originally from USA?
>>4530379
this think was alaways outside for some reason and it was always kind of gross and muddy but damn was it hella cool
>>4536404
Is this the piece they repainted for the MST3K intro? "Home of The Big 'G' Burger!"
Beyblade, by far this one takes the cake for nostalgia. I was going to pick Max Steel, or something else, but Beyblade is basically my life, even today, so I've got to give it to that.
The first time I ordered a Driger G booster, just to start re-collecting plastics, I melted in nostalgia and pure happiness putting it together, it reminded me of the small shop I used to get my Beyblades from when I was really young, even though I wasn't following Beyblade as strongly around G-Revolution as I was around the first season, there is still nothing like building a plastic gen Beyblade regardless of the season it's from.
>>4536404
>that old logo
I just remembered I used to think the KFC mascot was a stick figure with a realistically drawn head. Kinda like the Pep boys
>>4536425
haha you were a dumb kid for thinking that
[spoilers]so was I[/spoilers]
>>4536426
> [spoilers]
How embarrassing
>>4535945
>>4535973
"WHY NOT BOTH?" is what my thoughts were.
I was always the boy that played with girls toys,, but then Mighty Max was the only "boy toy" to perk my interest. My lust for gore and horror as a tyke was fulfilled with Mighty Max. I would constantly terrorize my cousins by inviting their Polly Pocket friends to come strut in the world of Mighty Max.
>>4536461
My cousin was a girl and liked Polly Pocket, and I liked Mighty Max. Our birthdays were pretty close together, and I remember one year we celebrated them together and she got this big-ass Polly Pocket set and I got several Doom Zones and we had Max and a gang of monsters pay a visit to Polly's pink fantasy world. It was good times.
>>4536425
i used to think his head was a drumstick
>>4531632
>Not that one, that's the mattycollector one that came out a few months ago that costs 300 dollars. You must have had the original.
LIKE I CAN TELL
But yes, they were the originals.
>>4530379
Hey shitlord, I had the same castle, though the knights were different. It also came with a kickass pirate ship.
Also, as a kid I had all six flip head Power Rangers in a special metallic edition (pic related), which turns out were pretty rare even back in the day. I wish I still had them. Oh well.
>>4531506
You motha fucka, posing the greatest toyline ever.
I actually draw concept art for new figures, I miss it so much.
>>4530380
my nigga
>>4530379
I had the Robin Hood playset. Probably missing parts
>>4535945
Back when I was a kid, my mom's friend always brought her daughter to play with me. So my Might Max and her Polly Pocket made an awesome combo. Fun thing is that she always wanted her girls to marry my monsters.
Polly Pocket and Littlest Pet Shop were my jam. I was so sad when I found out my dad donated everything except for this stuff. No Pollies were spared.
I had so many complete LPS sets. Fuck.
>>4530379
hand-me-down legos. That's it until I got vidya.
>>4530379
My little brother had this.
>>4537243
I had a few of the non-metallic versions of those.
I also loved TMNT (I had the whole first wave and assorted figures from later waves), I loved Lego too. Had lots of assorted superhero toys, mostly X-Men and Batman, but also some more random stuff like Swamp Thing.
Also MOTHERFUCKING PIC RELATED. Kong too.
>>4530379
Playmobil. I still buy that shit until this day though. For that nostalgia feel.
>>4535945
Mighty Max was based as fuck
[spoiler]I bought the polly pockets too, those storybook ones were super comfy looking[/spoiler]
>>4530379
the best playset ever released, bar none. Perfect for what it is, and played home to numerous other seiges of star wars, digimon, and heroscape figures.
I loved that thing.
>>4530380
this was pretty fun, too
>blowing up the safe
>crashing through the window
>flipping off the roof
>kicking the barrel with the boot
>collapsing the stairs
>getting thrown by the loose plank
>shooting the canon
>getting put in jail
shit was the michael bay movie of Fischer Price, everything either exploded or caused something else to explode.
Saving from death
I loved the micro machines aircraft carrier.
Had bucketloads of Army Men and Action Men as well.
>>4544063
I found this micro machines sub the other day while packing the house for moving.
Nostalgia overloaded.
>>4544122
this reminds me.. when i was a kid, me and my friend played a lot with toy cars (Hot Wheels, Micromachines and Matchbox)
and he had this awesome big ass transport warplane in camouflage. i dont know what company it was from, but it had a door on the backside and these tracks inside of them so that you could put toy cars in it, and let them drive out of that backdoor.
dont know if anybody remembers this toy..
>>4544241
ah this was it, but i remember it having green camouflage patterns and weapons too
>>4544247

Crash Dummies
>>4544122
>mein neger
Still have mine, collecting dust on a shelf at the moment but I still get some fun out of it from time to time.
i've been considering buying a set of these on eBay. still have fond memories of getting these as a kid.
>>4547199
man I had all of them as a kid, theyre somewhere in my garage. You made my day
Just pulled these outa the closet. They were my favorites!
I know it's not le ebic 90s, but this toy is nostalgic for me now. It came out in 2002, so I was either 12 or 13 at the time.
There were two other Spawn figures I got with this one, though I don't remember which they were. My friend and I went into KB Toys and thought these looked so badass we each took three different Spawn toys, in box and everything, and casually walked out of the store without paying for them.
Couldn't believe we got away with such blatant theft when we got back to my house, but damn was it worth it. I need to go through storage and see if I still got this guy. Reminds me of my best friend from back then.
>>4530379
Had this and other medieval sets, various pirates and westerns too. Action figures ranging from Pirates of Dark Water, the Toxic Crusaders, Ninja Turtles, Earthworm Jim, He-Man, GI-Joe, and the like.
>>4534566
tfw sold mine
Dumping what I got saved.
>>4547348
>two Lady Lucks
Don't know why but I laughed.
>>4547348
Oh hell yeah!
I even had this awesome base that was the size of like, 4 of those small ones put together. I always thought those spring loaded parts that made stuff 'blow up' were the most genius things, even back then
>>4547417
Making me miss all my old sets heh. All I have left other than the submarine is this base, think I still have all the pieces or at least most of them.
>>4536815
Capsela were expensive as fuck.
hhhnnnnnnnostalg
I don't think I had anything specific. I had some KO barbies and plushies, that's about it. If I wanted a "figure" of a character I like I drew it on paper, colored it, then cut it out and drew the back of the character on the other side. I made a bunch of those, then my sibilings and I used to play with them and make stories.
>>4547559
Oh, and this thing was probably the only genuine Pokemon merch I had as a kid. Didn't have a gameboy, a pokedex or anything, but buying this made me very happy back then.
>>4547466
HA! I had this, also this (should tell you my age).
>>4530379
zero hour!!!
i loved army building this shit when i was a kid!
>>4547968
I still have the space truck heh.
These were my entire childhood right here. I had all of them ALL OF THEM. Too bad I lost them somewhere in my life and only have a few bits and pieces left. I'd love to have these back.
this thing was the fucking best
>>4548784
I always wanted that shit.
>>4548788
it was awsome
>>4531218
This was based on a show, right? I never saw it, but I got this thing and it was pretty bitchin.
>>4547351
Huh. I had this, which I guess was a knockoff. I thought it was some generic alien thing.
>>4547563
>Sister and I each got this for Christmas
>Wrapping paper was thin enough to see through it
>Sneaked downstairs early Christmas morning to open presents before our parents woke up
Why can't Christmas be as fun now as it was as a kid?

Hahaha, you fucking invalid, do you not know anything about anything? Whats it like operating with a single braincell? Shit, learn to google you fucking shitlord, fuck.
>Probably the coolest looking Beast Wars toy I had
>Leg joints were too flimsy to support its weight
God, that was disappointing.
>>4548791
Mystic Knights was Saban's attempt at making at making an original "American" toku show based off the popularity of Power Rangers. It was better than Masked Rider and VR Troopers. About the same level as Big Bad Beetleborgs.
>>4547012
This. I had the animals too.
The cat was too stiff, it couldn't "squish" from impact
>>4534164
I had the bootleg one when I was a kid.
>>4537700
I remember getting few of those from the dollar store. Briefly my small-ass town's gas station carried some mega cheap Godzilla figures that came in bags. Probably the rejected sculpts because some of them were seriously wonky.
>>4547359
Yep. my brother had the bigger one and we each had the floppy disk games.
This shit right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QurDlKOkpvo
Why do people only remember Bionicle
These fucking things were the shit, fuck yeah roboriders and throwbots
>>4549038
Because slizers is unprofitable, compared to the lack luster that is whatever abomination you just posted.
>>4549038
Dude, those things were fuckin' awesome. I had that same roborider and the light blue underwater throwbot
>>4549039
How do you not think motorcycles with faces and launching discs were fun or cool? Especially making the fuckhuge robots out of them when you collect them. Literally what started bionicle.
>>4549068
because they had no lore or comics, durh
>>4549070
Yeah, because kids care about lore and comics.
Kids care about THATS COOL I WANT IT
>>4549077
>kids care about lore and comics.
Exactly. Its why star wars outsells all the original lego themes, even throwing in batman in the movie to remind everyone that lego is WB's bitch
>>4534566
I had that when I was little I never used the rescue heros for it tho, it did serve as a massive base for my armymen tho.
>>4548784
what is it?
>>4549038
I still have frost and oynx, though I'm pretty sure I'll find some pieces missing now. Nothing a bricklick order wont fix!
>>4548834
blew my mind anon, never seen the animals before! The crash dummies were very creative in retrospect... I wonder if they will ever make a comeback? I can't help but think they are politically incorrect these days.
i remember these from sunday school.
>>4548807
Oh shit I still have him in the attic.

Nah, I came back with more pictures. Like this Mighty Max over here.
Came back to /toy/ to enter that Secret Santa thread.
>>4548807
haven't nostalgia'd in a long time.
you got me
Just the thread I was looking for. I'm having trouble remember a line of monster toys, I can only recall four of them but they were small models that came with top trump cards.
The four I remember is a tomato covered in snot, and pair of trousers with green hands, I gray mirror with a brush and a fridge with an ice monster.
Any clue?
>>4556174
Guy who bought you the Mighty Max Dragon Island and Beast Wars Depth Charge here.
Damn, I'm missing that one too. Shame you didn't find it back then too.
I have this motherfucker.
And the Crocogator Megatron that goes with him.
>>4552499
And the Lincoln logs and the BIG WHEEL trikes in the yard.
This glorious motherfucker, the arch nemesis of my 1998's Godzilla trendmasters figure
>>4559755
Oh man, I still have that thing.
>>4552499
I still remember having these thrown at me until I had a nosebleed. Ah, kindergarten.
>>4559755
Why does this look so much like Modulok?
These apparently. I yet can't find what toy is it.
>>4559755
The blue one is better
I think I got him for some birthday present. Never really learned the backstory or anything, but I can't being to measure the fun I had with him.
>>4560381
iirc that's battletech and a house liao dude

We built a tower around someone once. He had to stand perfectly still with his arms flat against his sides. As soon as the tower had been closed over his head, our teacher said "where's (the kid in the tower)?"
He burst out. Bricks everywhere. This was a thing for like a week before the teacher got tired of playing along and told us to go back to building other shit instead of exploding towers.
im an old anon
Power Rangers was the shit.
Megazords were the shit.
Combining Zords into Megazords was the shit.
But Zords that could EACH transform into their own robot, on top of being able to combine into a Megazord? That blew my fucking mind as a kid.
>>4561454
Hells fucking yeah. Best toys ever.

I'm really hoping this thread can help me.
I've been looking for years for a toy I had in the mid/late 90s
I think it was a micro machine playset or something similar.
light brown/tan/camo tank with a firing missile (similar to the Action Fleet ships from Star Wars)
the top of the tank featured a stop for a figure*(again similar to the action fleet)
however.
the real gimmick was you could pull the top of the tank backwards on hinges and the tank would convert into a 3 level base/fortress.
the top rotated and the bottom featured fold down ramps between the tracks so small vehicles inside. I don't remember what was on the second middle level.
if anyone knows what I'm talking about please help. I would be so damn greatful
this combiner, it was three pieces. one was the head, another was the chest and arms, the other was legs and waist. Anyone know this?
>>4564267
There's a lot of combiners that match that description, can you remember the gist of its parts? Was it an animal team? Lion/Elephant/Eagle or Lobster/Beetle/Fly maybe?
>>4564269
Oh yea, Forgot to mention it was three types of planes. They had no individual robot modes, the planes turned into parts and turned into one robot together. The head was the smallest and a triangular shape, also the only one I had. The instructions showed what the other two looked like but I forgot.
>tfw raised in Bolivia
still miss those tho
>>4563606
Pushed that thing down the hill in my backyard so many times
>>4563606
Still have it, not complete but still
Also, my first JP figure, this thing has still batteries after all these years
>>4530379
this bad ass motherfucker
>>4562529
I didn't get into them until later in life. Transformers never clicked with me as a kid like Power Rangers did.
Does anyone remember tiny commando soldier guys that had buff bodies and small heads? One set had 3 figures. I want to buy them for my nephew but I can't remember what they were called.
>>4566548
Found them!
>>4565755
If you were a kid when Power Rangers was out, then Transformers was basically non-existent.
this was my favorite bath-time toy.
