i started in 82 and stopped when the line of figures with Sci-Fi came out. I got some of the figures in that line, but that's when i stopped. I hated the bright, non-military costumes (because they sure werent uniforms at that point) and hokey vehicles. since, i have bought a few here and there if i see something that appeals to me

For me it was in 1993 when they started including weapons on plastic trees that you had to cut out on your own. Right then I knew that quality had gone right out the window.

Pretty much this. I gradually lost interest/moved on to other things as I got older. I think my buying dropped off sharply around '88/'89, and after that there were maybe a select few figures I picked up each year, until Battle Corps came along. The neon plastic weapon trees really just killed it for me. Though I did pick up Navy SEAL Shipwreck before the line died off.

93. Last figure was Mindbender. I still kept my few figures I had and "played" with it until high school.

Honestly, I liked it through to the end. There were elements I could do without now, but back then I just wanted more. I graduated high school in '94 and went into the Army a year later, and became preoccupied with that for a while. When I had time, I was saddened to not find anymore in the stores.

I don't know if the line started to "falter" but IMO the line was surpassed by a couple things......the 89' Batman movie....and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....as a 11 year old kid it was hard to fight the onslaught of the Turtles. I know thats what did it for me.....something made me stop saying "Yo Joe" and I started saying "Turtle Power"...

Yeah...I just lost interest when I grew up. Luckily it was during 1987-88 so I was heavily into it during the "good years".
My first Figure was Torpedo with Beach Head being the last.
