I have a lot of nostalgia for these War Planets toys. Post as much pics as you can of these toys and other similar toys such as Mighty Max.
Also I would like to know more about War Planets. I had a few of the planets and figures, including that deathstar like giant metal one but even back then they were mostly a mystery to me. For some reason I liked them though. I had these around the time I was beginning to stop playing with toys so I never got around to getting more of them. They remind me a lot of army men only with aliens and more colorful.

the strategy game that came with one of these sets was amazing for a free game
Here is one of the planets I had. I also had the ice one and maybe one other of the small ones. I know for sure I had two small ones and the deathstar one. If I remember correctly I think you could also buy the little figures separately to.
Is there a specific name for these kind of toys?

Can you tell me more about it?
I mean I kind of do know why I have a stronger nostalgia for these toys then most other toys I had but I don't want to bother boring anyone. Especially not to start a thread. These things look so cool that they look perfect as decorative items to me.

War Planets seriously needs a nostalgia fueled kickstarter to make some new toys like this.
I had the bone, tech and ice planets. My favourite was the tech planet, that opening door thing was the hypest shit and it had the best tanks and soldiers. I also had a bunch of the moons, though i've no idea if they were legit or bootleg, and would make a little solar system with all of them.

I'd like some info on this too, i had no idea there was a strategy game to go with it.

Just picked this up a few weeks ago. Not sure if I should open it, I really wasn't expecting it to be in such great shape.

l had the volcano and black one,my brother had the green tentacles one..
Pretty sure it's nostalgia, seeing them today they'd probably be not so good..but god, they were fucking awesome..

Yeah it probably is the nostalgia. The planets themselves look pretty interesting. I don't think there was anymore than those 9 I posted and the big metallic planet eater one. Seeing how little replies this thread got I'm guessing these toys are mostly unknown. I have posted them a few times on nostalgia threads and many times someone asks what the hell are those toys.
this one was fun

I deeply regret not taking better care of these as a kid. I have a few still lying around, missing most of their pieces.
>>5632843
These and mighty max were the shit, why doesn't anyone make mini playsets anymore? They were always my favorite things to play with and they really let your imagination go wild

They were based on my favourite show, which caused me a great deal of grief when it ended on a cliff hanger with planet reptilza looking to get wiped out.
I had the fire, beast and rock planet/battlemoon.
Though the sand planet is probably the best made and most interesting in the set. Also it was an absolute bitch getting most of the figs to stand up by themsevles

I remember playing the game. I believe all of the planets came with a envelope you could mail off with 5 dollars or something in order to get the game... I remember because it came in the mail and my brother and I fought over it lol.
Ice planet is only $30 on ebay right now.. fuckin rock and tech are goin for 70-90
War Planets was probably the last great new IP for action toys, everything since has just been more of the same old stuff.
