pageerror404 posted:My favorite childhood toy of all time. Behold of the wonder of the Power Rangers action figures with flip-heads! I hated these things, even as a kid. Why not just make not-retarded proportion figures and give them removable helmets? It's not like the button turns them plainclothes or something. So much toy-rage. PS who was the genius that made it so there was NEVER a proper Green or White ranger power coin?

Rahonavis posted:You must have loved the hell out of the Transformers Animorphs line. Never was into those, but I suppose I was into Transformers, where they would go from robot to car and back or whatever. Perhaps that a contributing factor. The best Power Ranger toys were the big 8 inch figures, I don't know why they ever stopped making those. Do you want a tiny rear end Gi Joe or this HUGE GODDAMN POWER RANGER HOLY poo poo! Plus the 8 inch rangers, the robot, and the monsters were all close to scale, so your monsters worked for both VS Ranger fighting and VS. Robot fighting. Why would they ever deviate from this? I'm mad about Ranger toys.

Wandering Knitter posted:I remembered that I had to order the first Slayers tape from some weird sketchy magazine because it was the only way to get anime back then. I've got a VHS recording of much of the anime weekend hosted by Bakshi still to this day. A-ko is pretty much the first thing I watched knowing it was anime. I watched Voltron and Ronin Warriors years before, not really putting together the whole "import" thing. Good times.

nuts_rice posted:Okay, looked it up. Pokemon Snap was released in 1999. Anyways, every Blockbuster had one of those printers that was a total gimmick We actually still have parts of one of those machines in the house somewhere, I think. Family member worked a rental store that had one, and he either bought it off them after the promotion or they just let him take it home, not sure which. But hey, a TV, an N64, and a thermal printer

Something that feels 90s as hell for me are these drat things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAeV-AWBCKI Call some string of numbers to save money on calling the number you actually want to call, somehow. Wikipedia has an article about this one. There were tons of these though, I seem to recall Mr. T doing one as well.

Pope Guilty posted:So were they awesome? I had them too. Their awesomeness is debatable but they had their uses. Mostly for "clothes" and walls and poo poo for action figure use. They seemed to advertise themselves as being better than Lego, which is clearly a lie. I don't know how I talked my Grandparents into getting me so many, they must have gotten a deal on em somehow, because I seem to remember having way more of the drat things that I had any particular use for.

Virtual Rape isn't too far fetched of a potential internet problem. Within I don't know, a decade? teledildonic devices will probably be cheap and semi-common. Some people will probably be weird/lazy and wear them all the time. Then someone could hack your poo poo and force your vibrator on for hours or whatever. I just wanted to say teledildonic.

DESIGNS on the wall in all different colors. I swear to god I didn't dream it up, but it's been like 20 years and I never could find any info on it.
