80\'s children of the world unite

[Hoblit]

So, I was browsing around doing some random google searches. when I found a few things that are hysterically funny and a little disturbing especially if you grew up in the eighties.

He-Man and the masters of the universe

care bears

enjoy.

 

[Infidel Castro]

Yes, Care Bears:

 

[Dammekkos2]

Thundercats

 

[finn17]

Really crap hair

 

[Hoblit]

Ah yes, Thundercats. Now I saw a very dodgy version of that too a while ago, but I can\'t put a link to that up here. would definately be against forum rules.

Muscle men? (these were the equivalent of pewter crack in my school when I was about 10. They were banned due to incidents).

Muscle Men?!?
i still have a bag of them somewhere at home, and yes they also ended up being banned at school, as you say there were \"incidents\" :innocent:

 

[BattleBunker]

Oh my god muscle men! I loved those little guys. I think I still have my collection somewhere....

Does anyone remember Monsters In My Pocket? Very similiar to Muscle Men, but different colours.

If you are looking to remember the \"Good Old Times\" I suggest going to this site:

Retro Junk

Wow. I can\'t believe this is my first post on this site. And it had to be about my childhood. lol

Monsters in My Pocket. never really got into those. But I do seem to remember numerous punch-ups over Garbage pail kids.

I was half way through writing a post about Garbage Pail Kids when I stopped to check somethin then you\'re post popped up

Guess I\'ll have to try and remeber something else... oh yeah, how about penny racer cars where you had to put a coin on the back to make them do wheelies?

I loved the 80\'s such a nonevent. Although I seem to remeber being married twice in the 80\'s so maybe not such a nonevent after all. I remember having a BIG mullet tho. Thank god those days are over.

 

[supervike]

Although many of my \'\'coming of age\" years were in the 80\'s I think I was too old for most of the \'toy crazes\'.

I do recall parachute pants and bandanas though.

 

[generulpoleaxe]

mullets and poodle style lycra wearing heavy metal bands, with more make up than your average prosi.

(they could play tho)

 

[Torn blue sky]

I always said toys were cooler when I was a kid! and here they are, back to bite me in the ass.
Google thundercat out takes for a laugh

 

[Hoblit]

Mullets = bad.

Boy am I glad I was a kid and all we had to worry about were cool toys for christmas.

anyone else remember Dino-Riders?

 

[Torn blue sky]

Yeah, dinosaurs with crazy mind control boxes on their heads Of-course that was only the bad guys, cuz lets face it, the good guys are sooooo good the dinos like them anyway.
Old skool transformers were so much better than this reincarnation too!

 

[Highbulp Billy]

What about MASK toys? Cars that could fly just by opening their sporty doors up and a motorbike that turned into a supersonic helicopter... it seemed so plausible back then.

 

[leopardpixie]

Do i Dare say.... Peewee Herman? lol

 

[Hoblit]

MASK. I\'d completely forgotten about that, and I used to have the books with the holographic covers too.

apparently there is a transformers movie in the works. reckon it could be decent if they use similar CG to the Peugeot/citroen add(can\'t remember) looky
and it looks like they got a decent action movie director too.

 

[Torn blue sky]

lol John Woo should direct it!
Kung-fu robots would do it for me :yes:
