Childhood Collection. Updated with Star Wars!!!

Raided the attic at the parent's house this weekend and struck gold! Everything was a bit dirty, and some of it much the worse for wear, but...
MOTU stuff was actually in great shape.




Tron figs!!!


And the Joes.

Dreadnoks



Cobra is about to get a blast from the past.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

nice bit of nostalgia there! those tron dudes are amazing! i've never seen them before. and of all the motu stuff, beyond great shape! i now remember how much i loved Man-E-Faces. of all the worn out crap i found from my childhood, the 2 i wish i could find is Man-E-Faces & Buzz-Off. Luckily, i got the 2000 repro of Buzz-Off that was a JC Penny exclusive...

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

MOTU stuff brings back memories.

Awesome discovery!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

AWESSSOOOOME. I think I had almost every toy that you have there. Total flashback. A few years back I was digging around in my parents attic looking for old loot only to find a busted Castle Greyskull, a few 'Joe vehicles and some various weaponry and action figure parts. The few things I found were totally wrecked, and the rest had been sacrificed to either garage sales or the trash. Man I wish my folks would have taken care of my stuff. These are great, and you are soooo lucky! Now go play with em!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

WTF no Zartan???????

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

man those are in real good shape. barely any dust from what i can tell.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

wish I still had my old toys...

sold them a long long time ago...

great trip down memory lane...!!!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

I burned all my childhood toys around the age of 13 as I developed a pyro obsession. It was fun to watch their faces melt.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

Bring in the 'old school'... fond memories of playing with both the MOTU and GIJoe stuff. I still got most of the actual figures but the weapons and small accessoires vanished over the years.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

many of my joe where sacraficed to a can of wd40 and a match either that or i took them apart and mixed up all there parts and make new joes

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

nice! I used to have that skeletor with the flip chest.
The at-st looks so lonely

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

That is so sweet, I had most of that as well. Those Tron figures kick a$$ though. I used to have the zip pull (plastic toothed cord you pull out fast to make the wheel spin) Tron bikes.

I love seeing pics of stuff I grew up on, I feel complacent now.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

First series star wars and adventure people were burned alive! I loved how light sabers melted...

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

Glad to see I wasn't the only pyro-maniac as a kid on skullbrain. I recall I totally took out the entire Deathstar with a Snow Speeder.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

Awesome! MOTU is always my favorite. Nice!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

modulok rules!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

I lined up all of my MOTU and shot them repetivley with my air rifle

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

Most of my MOTU, GI JOE, and Star Wars figures were buried in my parnets backyard...that is after they died in battle.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

+1 I buried them too

and I don't know how can you manage to still have the weapons, I lost them asap I opened the packages!!

nice collection BTW!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

Loved my MOTU stuff, they were my favorite toys as a kid. I loved setting up the weapons on the weapons rack and then inevitably throwing someone into it! Funny I burned my GI Joes too and wrecked all my matchbox cars . . . . if only the MOTU stuff had survived my parents letting other kids play with them . . . .grrrrr . . . .

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

That's what plastic models are for. A little testors model cement and a book of matches on a summer day were so entertaining.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...


Glad my pics could bring back so many memories. Suprised I never burned, shot or exploded any of my old stuff. I think it was all put away b4 I hit my pyro destruction stage.

After the excitement of these toys, the following 3 days have been 3 of the worst ever, so haven't had time to clean up the Star Wars stuff. The Millenium Falcon is gonna be tough to clean on it's own. Hear's another quick pic. Check the dirt.

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

no doubt! weapons always seemed to turn up missing within the first couple days. or you were so pumped about the figure that you forgot to untape and remove the weapons before discarding the package. luckily, they used to sell weapons packs, but even those didn't last long.

i'm amazed when searching for MOTU and joe's on the bay that majority of the auctions are for weapons lots, and some go for more than the figures!

 

Re: Childhood Collection. MOTU, GIJoe...

wow - this takes me back! Great attic find and pics!

I've got loads of Star Wars boxed away with nowhere to display it.
I can see me spending a good chunk of today on youtube reliving my childhood - check these out -

Loads more toy ads on there too...

 

Updated original post with pics of the Star Wars stuff I was finally able to clean and shoot.
Really amazed at how many of these I still have. Unfortunate that my Darth Vader, Han Solo and Leia figs are all missing. Also, most of the accesories as well.
Stoked that I still have Boba Fett and his ship with frozen Han tho.
