Non- Vinyl American toys

Are those CowBoys of MooMesa figures?Awesome! They have some cross overs with the Turtles in the TMNT comics that are great.

 

Great Battle Beast collection! Wish I had more than 1 or 2 of mine left. I see quite a few that I loved as a kid in your display there.

 

Ahh yeah! Cowboys of Moo Mesa, I loved that show when I was a kid.... especially with that intro ballad that always gets me hyped up . Ah, Saturday morning cartoons, the good ol' days

 

Evan Dorkin just posted photos of the packaging for a TMNT bootleg called "Satyr Masters from Abyss."

That looked like a ton of fun in either comic or the toys!
BTW, in the comments found this

Somebody should be rotocasting this already!

 

this is taking me back.

i had both of these he-man battle cats.

 

I honestly thought he was making it up until I googled it and they really exist. Wow, what a name, some of those bootleggers were really freakin creative.

 

I actually really dig those 5" Gormiti figures.

 

I picked them up at TJ Maxx which are all over Chicagoland, $5.99 each (not bad, it's like half price of what they were).

 

just wanted to do a thread revival for N-VAT's. picked up these recently. total nostalgia...and vinyl!

 

we've got some battlestar galactica fans here, right? this vintage mattel line has become somewhat of an addiction of mine lately...

 

I remember waking up one day as a kid SO EXCITED because I knew I was going to get that Cylon ship that afternoon. Nice scores, wish I still had mine.

 

Don't choke on the missile!

 

I had the cylon raider model kit, almost as much fun as the toy

 

sick BSG toys silver. i like the guy with the blue dome piece.

they all look awesome.

 

crap... that cylon ship was kid-grail back in the day. is your's missile-firing? right when this ship came out, they started either making the missiles really giant or disabling them altogether.

 

I thought they disabled them altogether on all of them, Kirkland. I'm definitely no expert, though. What a shit-show that fucking toy caused, though, huh?

 

this is indeed the missle firing version.
i assumed it wasn't. nice surprise finding it to be pre-choke era.
i will make sure my 4 year old son stays away from this thing.

 

Speaking of Mattel, they just announced MOTUC Leech this past weekend at Wondercon.

 

the original leech didn't squirt water.
that was either dragon blaster skeletor or kobra-khan.
leech's gimmick was the suction cup face!
but i'm not seeing that ability in the classics version....
playability replaced by high-detailing....

 

Really? My memory says the original Leach (other than having suction cup hands and mouth) also squirted water.

 

shit! your right! i just busted mine out, and its obvious i never paid him much attention in my youth (and still isn't one of my favs). but yeah, the bastard does squirt water! i guess you still can learn new things about something you think your pretty schooled on.

i guess i always just assumed the button on his spine was to enhance suckability...

 

also, i think its kinda awesome that matty collector are releasing the weapons rack.

 

these knock-offs had some heavy action on ebay the other day
