Bumping my own thread with The Other World / Cosmo Crass
>>5645633
What? Everyone on here remembers Street Sharks.
Some pics.
Arco distributed these toys in the US as The Other World. Outside of the US they were called Cosmo Crass. They were especially big in Italy during the 80's, as that country was really into swords and sandals movies at the time.
What about Crystar?
Albegas a.k.a. Voltron III
>>5645668
US packaging and Voltron III branding.
Army Ants!
>>5645676
Whenever you find these things online they never have the little rubber abdomen bulb.
>>5645653
Bendy He-Man?
Inhumanoids.
A personal favorite.

Computer Warriors.
Rock Lords
>>5645757
Totally don't remember these. Looked them up and now I want one.

Not too old, but Xevos were the shit. Also my favorite beat-em-up toys growing up. They were always fighting along side my Autobots against the decepticons and the Dino-riders.
>>5645782
I want these to make a return. I always see the cartoon series on DVD for sale at Walmart.
Toxic Crusaders.
Boglins.
Metal Man
Not quite rare, but a personal favorite.

Notorious for having package design work done by Joe Kubert.
>>5645633
Literally everyone remembers Street Sharks you dumby.
I might have took Biker Mice From Mars or even Visionaries but Street Sharks?
>>5645861
I kinda want that alien.
Cowboys. They're cowboys and they're cows.
>>5645834
I think I still have some of those in the attic at my folks' place.
Starriors.
If these came back I would totally buy them.
Even I barely remember these.
Manglors. You could rip off their arms and legs and attach them to other figures.
Starcom
>>5645786

More He-Man rip offs.
>>5645906
Technically He-man is a bit of a Blackstar clone. Blackstar is actually more of a Thundarr clone.
Battle Beats anyone?
Dune
Not obscure but I bet nobody here had them.
Micronauts
Mork
Super Alternators
Transformers / Machine Robo rip off.
90's kids might remember these.

Ive looked for one of these for ages.

Bugmen of Insectia
Chuck Norris Karate Commandos
Infaceables
Iron Gear
>>5646003
Sorry. Pic didn't upload for some reason.
T.H.I.N.G.S.
Super Mario Bros movie figures
Literally the worst toy ever made.
>>5646007
I have teo of the goombas and mario. Their actually well sculpted and decent figures. The movie is what was shit.
>>5646010
The only figure I ever wanted was the Goomba.
>>5645968
Got me.
Wonder Borg
>>5646007
I have all 3 on the top. complete too. I like that they have jets on their shoes, so i play as if they have the ability to do rocket-propulsed kicks at the other toys
>>5646007
I loved the movie as a kid, and I really wanted that Mario and Luigi, but I never saw them in stores.
Literally the only figure I owned from the line.
>>5645991
I went through like two Jones' as a kid, the fucking gimmick broke on both of 'em pretty shortly after I got them.
Hightower lasted much longer. I have absolutely no idea what happened to my Tackleberry. I still got his weapons somewhere.
If you didn't have this, your parents hated you.
>I never had this :(
>>5645775
>>5645797
Came to post that one.
Also had these:
>>5645862

>>5645906
>>5645946
>>5645633
i still have one, the one i have move it his jaw, and had tooths that glow in the dark
The village of tiny bears that had small houses with LOT of furniuture and cute cars!
>>5645956
Holy shit thanks I've been wondering what the fuck that was for years, I had one when I was like four that I used to have fight some wrestling figure I had. Lost almost all the accessories minutes after opening it.
RAGE
The fun i had with these cannot be compared to any other toy i played with back then.
>>5645633
Are you stupid, OP?
Everyone knew about street sharks. There's even merchandise made for adults now since it was popular. Holy shit.
This was always my favorite. I had no frame of reference for what it was, just thought it was boss ass
>>5647171
I want a reboot for Duke!
>>5647255
Expect Duke to be a cat in the reboot, they always change shit for no reason.
>>5645931
go t me off these
>>5647287
People remember that because of the comic.
>>5645870
Cow-Boys of Moooo Mesa.
>>5647317
Don't bother. Because they were mostly rubber, most Boglins have degraded away. Even if you found one in decent condition, you can't stop the process and it'll eventually turn to a lump of trash on you
>>5645810
WW was the best. Mattel needs to bring it back.
>>5647339
yeah. sad times. That's pretty much why I haven't bought any.
>>5646064
Sigh... Those were awesome.. But there name is so generic you can't find them for sale on ebay or elsewhere. Just the fucking game where heads pop off.

Yeah, I'm sure other people remember Spider-Man but Rom reminded me of this particular one.
>>5645942
Did these actually come out?
>>5647605
Looks like it. Might have been a limited release.
Biker Mice from Mars anyone
I think these were called Numbots? Numberbots? Who knows. I enjoyed them a lot, though.
There was also an alphabet line, as I recall, but I never got my hands on those.
>>5645782
exosquad has threads frequently
>>5647593
I have that somewhere, my mom got it for me in a box of stuff from a yard sale when I saw a kid. The Remco Superman, too, but it didn't have its cape.
>>5647645
I remember those, but never,could find them again
>>5646826
Had the Sega 32x game for this, and one of the toys. The Dino got given away first, but the tiny plastic cavemen stuck around a lot longer.
>>5645956
I have Tyrune the three headed hydra
>>5647282

Need these so badly but only I remember them.
>>5645870
The thing that the off brand TMNT wanna-be's lacked was fun packaging, I would have bought any of them if they had cards that featured art half as fun as the original Turtles toys.
wow this thread actually had some toys I didn't recognize instead of the usual "obscure" toys that are always posted.
>>5645958
I had a tank from this line that was like a cobra hiss ii but way cooler. fit a bunch of figures. I liked it more than any real joe vehicle I had.
![987c47c07c4629858f9602ef8539e846[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/e5fb4Pl.jpg "987c47c07c4629858f9602ef8539e846[1].jpg")
I had this fucking amazing thing as a kid. The little pilots were the right size to fit in my G1/G2 Transformers (diaclone) cockpits/seats, so they made perfect humans for that line.
So yeah Manta Force gave me a human space force, and an evil human space force to fight my Transformers. This toy is GOAT playset. I think my uncle got it for me in England.
These right here. how you could basically mutilate then immediately re-assemble them was the shit.
Kinoman aka Microman bootlegs
pretty popular back in 90's in indonesia

>PUMPING PLASMA
>>5645896
Extreme Dinosaurs or Street Sharks?
Which was better?
>>5647605
Hell yeah. Rare and exspensive but yes. They were only sold in department stores like sears and aimes.
>>5645960
I had everything apart from the tanks that stood up with the hinged turret for one side. Cheers, I couldn't remember what they were called.
>>5648138
Lotte gum robots nigguh
there's so many candy toys back then
Ok, I've got two for you guys. First is Air Raiders.
>>5648356
Second is Flying Fighters
When I was a kid I had this figure that was like one of the Crash test Dummies toys, it had little red buttons on it's back and you could pop off it's limbs.
The actual style of the figure was more like something from Masters of the Universe though, a green and yellow alien with a black helmet. One of the arms that you could swap was like a battering ram with the ram being a yellow snake.
I've been trying to figure out what the figure and toy line were for years as it was one of my favourites when I was little but I've never been able to find it.
I can't believe how much of the stuff here I had odd bits of, like the Computer Warriors.
I had one of these Sectaurs (pic) for years that I didn't know what it was.
A toy I would like to know more about had a brown base shaped to look like rubble onto which a couple of US soldiers slotted in kneeling positions. They were scaled about 3 3/4", and a lever in the back of the base made them move around as if they were shooting and throwing stuff. I've no idea what they were and have never seen anything like them elsewhere.
I remember this toy I had as a kid.
Matchbox-sized cars that can combine and form spaceships or dragons or robots.
It's like a fusion of matchbox and lego.
Anyone remember these guys
>>5649127

The shitty video game company?
Attack Pack!
I loved Mega Force as a kid.

Beetleborg toys

Mighty max pocket adventure toys. They opened up and I collected a few back in the day that all connected together. Pocket poll was a little more successful though.
>>5645708
Some company is making new ones; the Kickstarter just ended yesterday
>I actually own this garbage

Anyone remember Fist Full of Martians? They had like, Blue, Green and Red factions.
>>5649503
They still try. I hate this fucking toy line, but I'd buy blind bagged plastic turds if they didn't come with these retarded squishy dogs.
>>5649638
Street Sharks are bank, son. You're sitting on a goldmine if those are complete and in good shape.
>>5649244
Beetleborgs was popular. Nothing obscure about that.
>>5649275
Not obscure.
My fucking parents bought Heroes of the Bible for me. The articulation didn't make sense and the fatty's hands were upside down.
I had an action figure as a kid from a small toy line that was like Saint Seiya. It was taller than 3.5 inches, green, and had silver armor that was raptor-like.
Can you guys identify it?
>>5645757
I never had the toys but wanted them.
100% remember the pilot for the show, i owned it. if you havnt seen it, youre welcome
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vslzh_jTmEE
Did anyone else have these? They were tall by early 90s standards (like seven inches) and spoke in a very garbled voice when you pushed the buttons on their chests. They sort of have a GI Joe meets Mortal Kombat look to the designs.
>>5650134
Shogun Cyber Warriors?
>>5645759
I still have this guy somewhere
Apparently this line was based on a live action Tarzan tv show, and it was going to include John Carter of Mars in its next season, before it got canceled. But I didn't know about any of that at the time, I just thought it was a cool muscular bug man.
>>5650375
See I remember this line, but only remembered recently. It was around when Godzilla had a toyline.
one of my favourite bath time toys.
>>5650375
I had no idea that was a TV show. I thought it was just Trendmasters going "Tarzan is cool, let's make some Tarzan toys for no reason in particular" kind of like they were doing with Godzilla.
>>5650395
Not obscure.
>>5650397
so sorry, i'm so sorry, it won't happen again. i have deleted my post accordingly. thank you for pointing that out to me.
>>5649652
Well shit, they ain't in good shape anymore.
>>5650375
Wait, I loved this line, it was based on a show?!
>>5650449
Yep. I just found the whole series on Youtube. No idea if it's good or not.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmicgBZxAKOtnf4jG5uq7dA

hooly shit anon i'm in love.
These shits were my favorite when I was younger.
>>5650532
>>5650536
>>5650543
I had that one.
It was one of the many gifts my baby sitter gave me. She was great for giant walking robots and weird X-Men toys when she would visit Mexico.
I think I win. Anyone know the toy line Jummy's boys? Little colorful round robots with little wehicles. You could also mix and match the robot parts, since all robots were able to separate at the waist. My mom got me one when I was little and it was a precious favorite toy for me for a long time. Pic related.
>>5645676
LOL, I have one of these! I never knew what it was, I thought it came from those gross out garbage bin toys or whatevs...
>>5645875
Did that even work tho?
Awhile back I was contemplating whether I should have kept this guy or not. It was one of the only toys I had and I wasn't sure if I should have kept it locked up in my closet or just gave it away. Sadly I chose the later and kind of regret it now.
I don't know if there was any other way to get this guy but I remember it being supposedly some sort of limited special addition Meanie that you had to have mailed to you. Some sort of special chef boyardee promotional toy.
>>5647385
1. google/google image "rock em sock em action figure"
2. find tons of pictures of what i assume is the full line (didn't bother searching long)
3. obtain name of each figure
4a. ebay search "rock em [name]"
OR
4b. ebay search "[name] action figure" or "[name] toy"
5. ???
6. profit
alternatively:
1. ebay search "Rock em sock em action figure"*
2.*substitute "toy" for "action figure" if you want
3. ???
4. profit
surprised I had to explain this, but you're welcome anon

Probably my favorite series ever.
Good guys were shit though.
>>5650850
Those were based on something?
>>5651174
Yep. When saban tried to make their own original show.
>>5649244
>He didnt have the Astral Sword
>>5645657
to this day I'm disturbed that Robot Chicken used him in a sketch so they could get a crystal meth joke out of it.
To this day, I seem to be the only person who had some of these things called X-treme Pets.
>>5650285
I started wondering if there was another toyline with a similar gimmick, I did a little research and turns out I had this fucking thing...
...this is the best quality picture I could find. Even Computer Warriors has a reasonably good amount of photos of the toys around. Space Atttack got zilch.
>>5651212
I'm just surprised the shit they brought up in the Dic Jam segment.
Hammerman? Holy fuck.
Power Penz
>>5651174
Power Rangers but with Knights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxCg26VZ0bQ
It was bad.
I had one of these! Not only did the blaster make sound effects, but you could plug in the headset and the fist even had a voice changer!
>>5651407
I still have him on my shelf
WHY THE FUCK DID OP POST A POPULAR NOSTALGIC TOY LINE LMAO
EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS STREET SHARKS
WHAT A JOKE
>>5649341
Oh man that TaleSpin Captain Spigon is awesome.
To be honest most of the crap on that pic is awesome.
>>5647992
Holy shit I remember these! I was always a lego man as a kid, but if I had of few more of these I might have gone full K'nex
>>5648100
I remember these! I had the big power armor set they released late in the line with that little electronic screen in the back
>>5645969
I've been hunting around for this one for ages.
>>5646826
Still have Talon, and all his weapons
>>5646989
Holy shit, I've been trying to remember what the fuck this shit was called. I've tried searching for it but I never found it.
I only ever got one set for Christmas and I thought it was pretty cool. Must not have been very popular at all.
>>5650852
Really? I've been on /toy/ for years and never seen it posted before.
>>5652669
It might be obscure here, but I don't think that's what the topic was about.
>>5645653
Shit, I had that two-headed dragon.
I haven't thought about it in years.
>>5650386
Came here to check for these. They were the shit!
Do you mother fuckers remember Z-Bots?
>>5645845
I have no idea why I owned this, I hated it so much.
>>5651385
Yesssss, I had so many of these. My favorite was one that came with an incredibly small car, smaller than micro machines, and it had a pin in the back that would pop out and launch the car. That and a laser tag one that broke immediately.
>>5652765
I had that exact one.
>>5645860
I remember being absolutely amazed by those holograms when the toy line first came out. Never managed to get my hands on one, though.
![T2eC16RHJGE9nm3qVtqBRNPqrQO3w60_57[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/cf7ON5n.jpg "T2eC16RHJGE9nm3qVtqBRNPqrQO3w60_57[1].jpg")
>>5648088
This one? I had it and the F-15 too, they were both fucking great. Just wish I could find a picture of one with the plastic canopies intact.
>>5645958
No, man, no, don't do this to me. That space ship was my favorite thing ever and it got stolen. I have never recovered. I see them on ebay once in a while, but they are always missing guns or have the wrong color canopy.
>>5645633
A local hobby shop here carries old GI Joes, old TMNT figs, Star Wars figs, MotU, the works.
I check for Street Sharks every time I go there and never see a single one. Life is shit.
I can't remember what it was called but back in middle school or highschool or something I had these weird battle toys that were like little ping-pong balls with faces painted on them and holes for little plastic weapons to get stuck in, and they'd fight on this cool little tower thing with a fan inside that made them float in the air knocking each-other around.
I don't have a pic because I can't remember what they're called, but they were a pretty fun Beyblade-esque time-waster.
>>5651911
I still need him too.
I scored the Major Munch variant in package for $12 a few years ago. All of my other fighters are in shit condition but I've got most of their weapons at least.
>>5652692
I have no memory of that line or the show it was from, but I would have adored them. They look like some wonderful midpoint between She-Ra and Sailor Moon.
>>5648138
>Microman bootlegs
Are you sure? They look more like Beta Midgets to me.
>>5647645
I remember playing with these back when I was in preschool, but I've never seen them at stores. Always wanted to get a hold of them.
>>5651126
Oh god yes. I wish I still had mine.
>>5645896
shit I had these but not street sharks for some reason
>>5650297
oh my fuck I've been trying to remember these guys names for years now, thank you!
mfw I thought the green one was a chick
(and was hot)
>>5653004
hell yeah I do
my favorite was this white guy with a green drill for one arm. His other arm was connected to it through the middle, so you could spin it to make the drill turn.
Has this been posted?
>>5645956
THANKS
I've always wondered what those awesome knights toys I used to plat with ere
>>5647341
When they announced the Thundercats figures, they also said they were planning new Matt Mason, Street Sharks Dino Riders, Clash of the Titans and Wheeled Warriors toys.
