I've been waiting a long time for a good opportunity to pull this collection out of storage. I just had no place to display it, but I'm in the process of clearing off some shelves to make room.
I have a complete collection of Galoob's 1996 "The Real Adventure of Jonny Quest" toy line, including one canceled item that only showed up in stores in South Africa for some reason.
Funnily, I never saw a single episode of the cartoon (though I have seen the original 1960s Jonny Quest). I just really liked the toys. They're all very nicely sculpted. The figures come with lots of neat accessories, and all the vehicles are loaded with fun features. The figures are a little smaller than G.I. Joes, but close enough in scale to be playable with them. In fact, two of the vehicles eventually made their way into the G.I. Joe line (as the Night Landing Craft and the Cobra Mantis Sub) after Hasbro bought Galoob.
The cartoon and all associated merchandise were huge flops. In updating the 1960s cartoon for the 1990s, Hanna-Barbera leaned hard into the silliest of '90s trends, include rad "extreme" sports and Virtual Reality.
I can only imagine how dumb the "Questworld" VR stuff must have played in the cartoon, but it has a cool
Tron
aesthetic that I can appreciate as a fan of that movie.
All of the Questworld vehicles had light-up features. Only about half of mine still work. The others appear to be broken, probably because I left the old batteries in them for years to corrode.
In addition to all those, I have have this weird guy made in vintage Hasbro o-ring style. I have no memory of where he comes from or where I got him. I only found two references on the web that suggest he was a bootleg from Argentina.
