Are those CowBoys of MooMesa figures?Awesome! They have some cross overs with the Turtles in the TMNT comics that are great.

Great Battle Beast collection! Wish I had more than 1 or 2 of mine left. I see quite a few that I loved as a kid in your display there.

Ahh yeah! Cowboys of Moo Mesa, I loved that show when I was a kid.... especially with that intro ballad that always gets me hyped up . Ah, Saturday morning cartoons, the good ol' days

Evan Dorkin just posted photos of the packaging for a TMNT bootleg called "Satyr Masters from Abyss."

That looked like a ton of fun in either comic or the toys!
BTW, in the comments found this

Somebody should be rotocasting this already!

this is taking me back.

i had both of these he-man battle cats.

I honestly thought he was making it up until I googled it and they really exist. Wow, what a name, some of those bootleggers were really freakin creative.

I actually really dig those 5" Gormiti figures.

I picked them up at TJ Maxx which are all over Chicagoland, $5.99 each (not bad, it's like half price of what they were).

just wanted to do a thread revival for N-VAT's. picked up these recently. total nostalgia...and vinyl!

we've got some battlestar galactica fans here, right? this vintage mattel line has become somewhat of an addiction of mine lately...

I remember waking up one day as a kid SO EXCITED because I knew I was going to get that Cylon ship that afternoon. Nice scores, wish I still had mine.

Don't choke on the missile!

I had the cylon raider model kit, almost as much fun as the toy

sick BSG toys silver. i like the guy with the blue dome piece.

they all look awesome.

crap... that cylon ship was kid-grail back in the day. is your's missile-firing? right when this ship came out, they started either making the missiles really giant or disabling them altogether.

I thought they disabled them altogether on all of them, Kirkland. I'm definitely no expert, though. What a shit-show that fucking toy caused, though, huh?

this is indeed the missle firing version.
i assumed it wasn't. nice surprise finding it to be pre-choke era.
i will make sure my 4 year old son stays away from this thing.

Speaking of Mattel, they just announced MOTUC Leech this past weekend at Wondercon.

^ but will it squirt water like the original, haha?

the original leech didn't squirt water.
that was either dragon blaster skeletor or kobra-khan.
leech's gimmick was the suction cup face!
but i'm not seeing that ability in the classics version....
playability replaced by high-detailing....

Really? My memory says the original Leach (other than having suction cup hands and mouth) also squirted water.

shit! your right! i just busted mine out, and its obvious i never paid him much attention in my youth (and still isn't one of my favs). but yeah, the bastard does squirt water! i guess you still can learn new things about something you think your pretty schooled on.

i guess i always just assumed the button on his spine was to enhance suckability...

also, i think its kinda awesome that matty collector are releasing the weapons rack.

these knock-offs had some heavy action on ebay the other day


here are the auction finals:
