poo poo I need to dig out my parent's basement for my kids: Batcave/Wayne Manor  Apparently this thing was released several times, using different colored plastics. This isn't the color I had, I think mine just had a bluish-grey stone? There was a picture of one like that on GIS, but it wasn't very good so I went with this one. The wooden wall looking thing had hinges at the top so you could drive the batmobile out... speaking of: Batmobile  So badass, loved this thing when I was a kid. Of course, you can't have the batmobile without Batwing  This thing was friggen huge. But the best part was how you got Batman in the cockpit:  Also worked as an "escape pod" for when he was shot down.  So cool. Of course, I wasn't just about Batman. I also loved the turtles. The Technodrome was pretty great:  And the guy who mentioned the turtle van? Yeah:  Also had this:  The roof would lift up so you could play inside the jail. Also had a Saloon to go with it, but couldn't find a good picture of it on GIS.

I see your Poly Pocket and raise you Mighty Max!  Essentially the same poo poo but aimed at boys. I had the Skull, the Lizard-lookin' one, and the Snake, and the giant green dragon one. The snake was pretty cool, when opened it had a plastic rope thing that would connect part of the lid to the snake head, like this:

Just going to post this one as a link, don't want to bother with dropping the pic in imgur right now. https://www.flickr.com/photos/25848889@N03/5944558542 Playmobile pirate ship. Look at the goddamn rigging on that thing. Panfilo posted:Anyone remember Captain Power? My mom got me one of the ships and the VHS tape. Basically it was a light gun type game where certain areas of the screen would have these seizure inducing flashy bits. You would try to hit them , and try to avoid their fireball shots. They had a short lived tv show that let you use the toys to interact with the action. I quite clearly remember the moment when I, watching one of those videos and playing along with the ship, suddenly stopped, looked from the ship to the TV, and thought "Wait, that's a VHS tape, it's going to do what it does without my input, these things don't interact at all".

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Motherfucking SOUNDWAVE I had this as a very young child, but it disappeared along with a bunch of other poo poo during the move back to the States when my dad left the Army. Sadness.

Also "Burn the tips of your fingers because it was on all night and you didn't wait long enough after turning it off to play with it again". I'm fairly convinced that my moderate insensitivity to heat via touch can be traced back to that thing.

Dogfish posted:This makes me remember a toy I LOVED as a kid but can only half-remember. It was I think supposed to teach math skills. It was red and had a screen and a keyboard, and there were little running guys who would dash across the screen to help you learn addition. I still remember the little song it played when it tallied them up! Oh man I loved that thing. That was the one I had, I've been waiting for someone else to mention it. Here's a bunch of pictures of the thing: here.

Oh man, so much cool stuff.quote:They re-released the Falcon and X-Wing in the mid-nineties, I had those. The "Ewok Village" was re-released a few years after this catalogue came out for the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film as Sherwood Forest. It had a plastic leaf canopy that went over the top.  quote:Def had that Battlecat in the upper right. quote:I am 100% sure I had that Soundwave when we lived in Germany. Yet another thing that got stolen during the move back to the US. Arggh.
