Toys & Action Figures

One of the things that I always enjoyed about my childhood is some of the toys and action figures I use to own as a kid.

To be honest I didn't really have many toys. My parents would only buy me toys and action figures growing. I would only get them for my birthday, Christmas and sometimes if my parents had to go away on a business trip. I always loved the cartoons I use to watch during the 80's and it seemed like that whatever cartoon I watched as a kid I would always want a toy from that cartoon.

I especially loved my Transformers. Even though I didn't have many of them. Unfortunately a lot of toys didn't survive because I had a younger brother that took great pride is destroying a lot of toys. I wish I actually had more Transformers. They're were even some toys from cartoons I never even owned at all. I really wish as a kid I had toys from M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe, and the Centurions. I was always jealous of a lot of my cousins, that they had a lot better toys than what I did.

I think out of all the toys I've ever owned. I use to collect a lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, between me and my younger brother we had a lot of them. When I got older a lot of our toys were actually given away by my mom.

It's kind of funny because when I go to ebay it's amazing to see the toys you use to play with go for so much money.

I think out of all the toys I've ever owned. The best action figure I've ever had was my parents gave me a generation 1 Megatron in a really nice wooden box when I was 8 years old. Parts of it were made out of metal, and it was so wonderful to have. A couple of months later my younger brother destroyed it.

To the GFF community, out of all the toys you've ever owned what was the best toy you ever had. What kind of toys did you collect. Do you still have any. How did you feel about the toys you ever owned and some of the positive and negative memories you've had with them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

These were so badass. Did anybody else have them?

I don't remember those Zeph, but I do remember my parents use to buy me a whole bunch of sets called Construx. I don't know if anybody ever had these but I remember you could build a whole bunch of space type vehicles with them as well. I had a lot of fun with them.



In my early teens I use to collect a lot of lego, but I mainly stuck to the pirate sets and the pirate ships. I actually had about 4 to 5 sets from lego pirates.

This was probably one of my favorite sets from the lego pirates collection:



There's nowhere I can't reach.
