Most of the obscure toy lines I can think of have been mentioned. The ones I liked:
G.U.T.S. (I loved the ninja set, but who didn't like ninjas back in the 80's)
Army Ants (my sister always made fun of their "bulbous asses")
Power Lords (great line that had some awesome characters but I remember the figures being somewhat fragile as I broke some of them despite taking good care of my toys back then)
Starcom (Loved these things and played it as a future version of M.A.S.K. To this day, I have a friend who always bring up how I brought these over for a birthday party back in the day and he wanted them so bad but already got all of his presents for his birthday that year and couldn't get them. I didn't get him one as a present, I think I got him G.I. Joe figure)
Visionaries (I really like this line but only had a few figures. Loved the commercial. I do remember thinking about how they had Joe bodies but were bigger and I thought that's how the new Joes in subsequent years would be. Good thing I was wrong).
Steel Warriors (I wanted one of these so bad but never got one. When choosing toys, I was always faced with a big choice: get one big toy or various figures. I always chose getting various figures which most of the time were Joes so no Steel Warriors for me)
Manglor (I had this but it never worked like it was supposed to. I ripped his arm off but could never reattach it properly plus the sticky rubbery substance he was made out of always attracted lint and dog hair)
Here is one that i don't think was mentioned: Rocks and Bugs and Things
These figures would look like a rock or something but was really a carnivorous creature who preyed on these cute little furby-like creatures. You pressed a button and the rock would become a monster and you could fit the little creature in its mouth. Kind of horrific but awesome to a 10 year old.
I could go on as I had one or two of so many different toylines in the 80's.
