    Not really Rye that came out later, like when we've all grown up.

    :P I'm mean.

    Hey about those stupid gi joe toys -- the ones with the elastic where the waist was because they were too cheap to create a rotating waist. Those elastics always broke! You could ghetto your way to fixing it by using a normal elastic wound over several dozen times, but geez, talk about lousy mechanics.

    I also loved TMNT toys. I stopped being able to find them because by the time TMNT2 came out, 'toy mongers' stole everything in the stores, and I couldn't get super shredder :(

    Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mainly Transformers. I was still buying years after they had died out I was that obsessed.

    I have to disagree on the supposed Gi-Joe cheapness.
    The elastic gave them better and more realistic waist articulation than any other toy of the era. I never had to worry about the figures not being compatible with vehicles from other series because of it.
    It's not like it was hard to unscrew the torso and swap in a rubber band if you had to either.
    My only Joe complaint was when that center crotch piece broke off. Not only did it make the figure look inappropriately (and sometimes hillariously) neutered, it also made the legs so floppy they wouldn't hold a pose.
    For Transformers my complaints are when the robot form can't assume any position besides standing up straight and when the toy doesn't even come close to matching the character on the show.

    I had a briefcase specifically designed to carry my Ninja Turtle action figures around with me. I kept it close at all times.

    Most of my action figures are broken in a box these days.

    I had a few X-Men, but for the most part it was a menagerie of different old school cartoon action figures.

    I was such a sucker for Power Rangers when I was a kid, and therefore I had several action figures with them. Otherwise it was a mixture of different figures, eg. Motor Mice from Mars and such.
