That'd be like calling the original run "Morphing" Power Rangers I have somewhere in a box "junk". I mean, they're not in the best condition, but they're the first toys I have actual memories of.
It's Sunday. Nothing ever happens on Sunday these days.
That is true. You may be young, heck there are some that are older then I am here, and I've got experiance with things in their era. Being 32, it's interesting to compare things that I'd grown up with, compared to the next person.
Most of the things I'd mentioned... I could tell you stories about what I'd do with my neighbor back in the day with joes.
How many watched Wrestling back then, and even today .. and had ''wrestling events'' with their joes?
Back in the early 1990's... WWF had a smaller set of figures out and a ring. Well... I had the ring and used my joes to battle one another in the squared circle, but i'd also had a boat load of wwf figures too at the time.
but before that time, we would have front porch brawls.. his joes vs. my joes and we would alternate having the forces battle it out. That all changed one afternoon in spring when the TTT pulled up to the brawl with the sarge. I was the first one between the two of us to have that figure .. also the mail-away, but the tank made such an entrance heh. It might not have had it's graphics on and it mighta been box fresh but... ahh the smell of new plastic.
Years later when we moved to a new place.. Had a new neighbor that i hung with a younger boy named Tom. his folks were redoing their house and had a ton of junk brick and mortar in the back yard from the renovation. we built forts with the stuff. and it kind of resembled the scenes we`d witness during those epic toy commercials back then.
also recall having Rambo figures some time ago too...
