Way to punch me in the nostalgia center of the brain!
Totally had that thing, as well as the RC T-Rex. Almost the entire line, it definitely ended too early! I think D&D ended early. Really cool designs, and one of the few fantasy lines without scifi influence. C.O.P.S. for sure. They were basically huge Joes! And they had caps, which aren't quite as available nowadays. |

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this link. Sad to see what could not have been, but wonderful to see the process and get ideas ^__^
These were so much better than Stikfas, that's a line I'm not sad to have seen gone. Cool idea, but the quality of the plastic was low, and the stupid trays they came in made sure for plenty of cut fingers >.< Xevoz was like the older brother to Stikfas: cooler, better developed, sturdier. Yeah, Stikfas concept = great, Stikfas execution = Rip off. If they were 3 bucks for a regular pack and 7-8 bucks for a mega they would have been better received from the mass market. At the very least the peices should have been cut from the sprue for 10 bucks a pop. Xevos could have benefited from an overhaul of the game system. |

I know this one is not considered a toy but Super Nintendo the damn thing was around in late 91 early 92 and discontinued in 97, six years only HELL the regular Nintendo came out in what 81-82 and discontinued in 1991 ten years vs six.

in 91/92 a lot of people (including Sega) were looking into those new fangled cd-rom based games. Nintendo being Nintendo didn't think cd's were going to go anywhere, and while sega and turbo grafix were busy making newer systems or add ons, nintendo just sat and thought the public would be happy paying $70 for yoshi's island.

Visionaries for me. Also, Exo-squad... I didn't care for the toys (I was "too old" at the time) but I definitely wanted to see where the series was going...
Also, the 25th Anniversary GI Joe line! ;)
