I had a couple toys, I don't even know what they were. There was a green rabbit in a red space suit, and a robot whose head was a giant eyeball. Or maybe it was an alien in a space suit. I don't know what it was. :lol

That was Bucky O'Hare and Blinky!

How about Street Sharks-

Boglins

I have been trying to think of what this things were called since the thread started but couldnt remember for ^^^^.

I had a couple and I thought they were awesome :lol

Thanks for posting this one wook :rock

i remember the blue one the most, he was my fav.
 
I had a purple Boglin that deteriorated years ago. I really dug that thing, cheap Gremlins rip-off that it was.

Anybody remember Captain Power? It would come on Sunday mornings, and was ahead of its time with the computer-generated graphics. You interacted with the TV shows and tapes by trying to shoot at the screen at the right time with the ship/gun, and got points!

I really liked the main character. Sort of a Robocop rip-off.
 
80s toys were great, weren't they?!

I had a few Sectaurs. Also had Crystal warriors. Specifically remember owning the lava guy.

I know these aren't obscure, but I also loved MUSCLE figures, the little pink guys. I remember trying to find ones that were rare or trying to figure out which ones would be the best in the ring. :lol
 
Battlebeasts are soon being re-released as Minimates.

I'm gonna go with the aliens that had blue skin, red veins, and red eyes, but you pressed a button on their crotch and they would flip around their torsos so they look like slightly more normal humans. They had diamonds on their heads, I think. They were advertised in comics pretty heavily.

Those were called Power Lords. I had Adam Power and the mosquito looking guy.

I love that guy's voice. He did so many great toy commercials in the 80s.

Trash Bag Bunch gets my vote for "most obscure" so far, because it is one I don't remember ever seeing or hearing about.
 
Yep it was green... I ^^^^ you not!

OK, now you think of a colour.

Is it....




Red?
 
Starriors and Battle Brawlers were two great ones. I also have Centurians, Visionaries, Bucky O'Hare, Sectaurs, SuperNaturals, Inhumannoids, and so many others from those era's. All of it packed up and stored, I really wonder sometimes what good is it to have it if it's never where you can find it or get to it.:confused:

Quoted for truth.

Any schmuck can pretend to own something and be on equal ground with someone who owns it but doesn't put it to use.
 
I loved MANTA Force, they were great. Had a few Centurions a couple of years back but sold them on. Always wanted one of the cool Sectaurs puppet mounts. Super Naturals were good, the holograms on their chests were pretty impressive, like Visionaries but on a bigger scale. Had a load of Rock Lords as well, quite nifty for robots that changed into rocks.
