 Re: Most underappreciated toy of childhood I've taken a couple of passes at finding information on a series of toys very similar to the Mighty Max sets that Lalo posted last week - I swear I remember buying a couple of head-that-opens-up-to-become-a-diarama-playset toys with a Godzilla theme - but I haven't been able to hit on the right set of words for Google to spit back gold for me.
Sound familiar to any of you? My recollection of them is so cloudy I don't remember if I picked them up in '89 or '99!

Re: Most underappreciated toy of childhood I loved this awesome rollercoaster set even though it was so fuckin complicated. Can't wait till I have some spare funds, definitely picking up a set soon.

Re: Most underappreciated toy of childhood I think you are talking about the Trendmasters Micro playsets circa 1994:  Anyways, now that you got the name you can score the interweb for more images. There is a write up on by Bob Schneider on CT as well hereThey also did some pretty sweet Tarzan sets along the same line

Re: Most underappreciated toy of childhood ^^^^^^^^^
I HAD THIS. It was so good because I was sooo into micro toys as a kid. Mighty Max unappreciated? Certainly not by me. I had every set and played with them 'til I gradually lost everything to small crevices. Damn that couch.

It was driving me crazy not being able to remember it. Makes sense that it was '94 - I was haunting Toys R Us around then for the first time in a long time because of those awful American Ultraman toys.  Muscles. Ha!

Re: Most underappreciated toy of childhood Great, now I'm scouring eBay for Fisher Price Adventure people for the boy. Already got him some tub toys, now need to find jeeps and what not for outside.
Loved the Matchbox M.A.C. toys as a kid. I loved all the accessories.

Always loosing our favorite things in the couch...

Re: Most underappreciated toy of childhood I've found so many amazing things inside all the various used couches I've had over the years - Hands wash, y'know?
Beautiful pipes, weird Mexican tarot cards, many varieties of plastic jewels, family photos, toy bits, wrist watches... and so much more, including of course the requisite $9,000 in loose change from several countries.
I'm wishing now that I'd taken pictures of it all as it was discovered!
