ITT: Only the most kino of movie merchandise
I always wondered where they got the models for the collector cards
I had the scorpion and the bull
Check out the heavily stylized remakes of the alien figures by NECA
I owned most of those figures, I think I was missing just the Flying Queen and the ATAX suit.
There were similar photos not from the films used in the Aliens Predator Collectable Card Game, which I spent most my teens playing over any Magic the Gathering or Pokemon TCG.
i still have mine in box, i had only opened it to get the disk out back then only to find out it was only apart of a game
also home alone 2 talkboy
AvP tabletop miniatures game. Never played it, though they did models for xenos, the marines, predators... It looked pretty fun, though is now out of production, with the licence moved to another company doing a pencil and paper rpg now.
I remember buying this for my birthday as a kid from Toyz R' Us. The thing had a motion sensor in it so as it was in the plastic bag and I walked by someone on the way home, it was screeching and roaring.
this bad boy
More of these?
very spooky
Pure nostalgia. I also had a fairly rare John Connor that came with his dirtbike.
Also that playset where you can put the fake skin on the terminator skeleton and peel it off.
>tfw only had the triceratops and headbutter one
At first we didn't even realise there was a game on the disc, it was just such an out there idea.
youtube.com
ive got this one, its the only pic i could find with all his parts in one photo
man it was a great toy, still have it somewhere in my closet
>Tfw still play with my childhood toys
i had this as well and it was an awesome toy
i also had some last action hero figures
Can I come play with you?
Yes fren
I have this as well
Me too. Beetlejuice toys were spoopy fun, and TMNT / Batman was for EXTREEEEEEME ACTION
i used to have the bull and the snake alien. they were based on the comics iirc
>be a kid
>have a few cool toys
>be rough with them
>gone
>be adult
>have money
>buy toys (model kits, collectibles and what not)
It's kinda nice, though sometimes I do pick up one of my planes and fly it around. Feels weird but it's a simple pleasure.
I don't have any toys though.
>I owned most of those figures, I think I was missing just the Flying Queen
>mfw I fought this other kid at Walmart for the last flying queen and won
You didn't happen to be blonde as a child, did you?
my ghostbusters toys were my all time favourites
>tfw too poor as a kid to have the scorponok toy
still feels bad
god i wish i grew up in the 80s
i want the terrible spazzino
Super Soaker 50s and E-Frames from Exosquad, someone holla.
lmao cope
Were these good?
almost as good as the movie
>tfw i had them all and my sister threw them away a few years ago by mistake
Fuck, I remember having these as a kid. The Xenos, at least.
still have it at my parents house. 90s had alot of cool toys.
I had a bunch of Transformers as a kid, but nothing compared to the cool stuff now. This asshole and Metroplex take up way too much space.
So it's half-decent but overhated
too bad i am 33 years old and married.
i was still buying transformers into my 20s, i won't deny it.
Owning Star wars toys was and will always be cringe
The true cool kids like me got Batman toys
If marriage stopped you from enjoying your hobbies then you fucked up.
I don't remember this thing in the movies. Not that I rewatched them lately though.
This is some jap shit, right? I had tons of these. The midget ones were my favorite.
If you had even half of a brain you would see that the package says The REAL Ghostbusters, which was the animated show.
in catholic school we all only did star wars stuff for some reason, that and gameboy
Found some of those at my mum's recently. Hope kids today still get random crap like that.
buying toys isn't a hobby user.
making models is, but not buying toys lmao.
anyway, i stopped buying them before i even met my wife.
remember the slime which came with it getting stuck to my carpet
it was from the cartoon rather than the movie
Anyone catch Last Chance Lawyer? Absolute kino if you didn't.
A big part of the show was him buying toys every Saturday morning, he had an account with the toy shop, and storing them in his basement.
i had that
i sold it at a garage sale in the 90's and regretted it ever since
even had a 6-7 inch staypuft toy, dont know what happened to it tho which pisses me off
I had that one, and NECA remade it
I always thought this alien design was real cool
>Exosquad
Mein neger
Modelled after her orthodontics?
>orthodontics
nah that's what her asshole looks like
>Those generic robo claw arms
Comeon if there's one thing terminators had it was realistic yet horrifying robo skeletons. Where's the skeleton/Endo toys?
Played this loads. Great game.
just remembered i had this kino toy, pic related
i asked for this for christmas and never got it
still pissed off about it
My parents realized after one day what a mistake it was. Thing was fucking mess and a half.
Was it just playdough tho?
Loving this bitch! Have one and it's gorgeous.
No, it was some special powder that you mixed with water that solidified into a sort of jelly.
>Bull Alien
So it fucks your wife?
my nigga
>Mom and dad got this in the early 90's while walking through the local swap-meet
It was missing most of the pizza but I would use pogs for it.
Good times.
no, just your mom
Man I remember that shit. I love the fucking gorilla, mantis, and snake aliens. You ccould pile them all together and make huge nest like structures
Oh that sounds awful and one-time use
I had that Alien queen when I was a kid. You'd press on the back of its head and the tongue would come out. Shit was pretty dope.
fukkkk i ad the left one
a friend of mine had star trek: the next generation toys
the fucking geek
I had all of the Kenner Beetlejuice figures. I remember reading an article in a collecting magazine about prototypes and unreleased figures and it said that Kenner had a prototype of Lydia but Winonas parents didn't like the idea. we were denied action figure goth cunny
That is some serious dork tier. When I was growing up that was worse than playing with girl toys.
Exosquad had the best fucking toys, packaging, and box art. My most memorable birthday was getting a few of these bad boys and Sonic and Knuckles for Sega.
Well designed toys.
That's why it says "refills available". So they can sell you more.
I love what they did to bishop. Jesus christ.
Does it come with cans of Monster?
my favorite toys as a kid were visionaries
can't even remember watching one single episode of the show though
spent hours rolling this fucker about
>Visionaries
>Mask
>Star Wars
>RoboCop
>Power Rangers
>Aliens
>Micro Machines
>all mixed up in a big plastic bin of fun
*sip* Them were the days, lad
No, it fucks my anus
What's wrong with TNG?
If only there was a hentai with this premise
Nothing, but as a kid if you preferred toys about science missions and diplomacy over the Star Wars "space samurais and laser guns" toys, then you were a dork.
I really really wanted this but my dad said you could only 'do' the regeneration 10 times then it stopped working or ran out or something, was this true or was he just bullshitting so he didn't have to buy it me?
This thing was totally submerged when our basement flooded and smelled like nasty mildew forever after that. I had loaded the Ghostbusters up in the playmobil pirate ship the night before and they survived the flood and managed to sail into another room when I found them.
KNIGHTS OF THE MAGICAL LIGHT
See
it came with a limited number of uses, but you could buy refills.
obvioiusly you can't anymore, but i'm sure you could make it somehow.
when i asked my dad if my GI Joe's jacket was bullet proof, he took it into the garden and shot it with an air rifle, blowing Joe's entire back off. thanks Dad
I tried making a pocket pussy with this thing. All I made was a mess.
Star Wars toys were geek shit too, If you didn't have TMNT or Batman toys, you were a faggot
>when i asked my dad if my GI Joe's jacket was bullet proof, he took it into the garden and shot it with an air rifle, blowing Joe's entire back off.
Based
>not fucking a tub of gak while watching sabrina the teenage witch
Based insane dad
Also based my dad for not lying to me
I quite liked the Dick Tracy movie when I was a kid but all the Madonna bits made it weird. The figures were great though.
>Be McDonalds
>Make Christmas stockings for an animated whose protagonist is a Jew who doesn’t celebrate Christmas
I mean, it’s better than “Chinamite”, but still....
But why are all the mobsters Jewish?
Seriously, “Chinamite”.
>he doesn't enjoy his morning Joe in a morning jew
>all this chinese, plastic shit
fuck consumerism
I had the pocket pussy, it performed admirably.
Is it just me, or does that Arnie figure look way more like Brian Thompson?
My stepbrother gave me a pristine DL-44 toy and some old Star Wars action figures, apparently there was a factory in my area and there are a lot of prototype toys from a long time ago that still resurface at garage sales
i hope none of you were deprived of tracy island
"Bull alien". What were they trying to say?
Holy fuck, dude
WHAT
Toypilled and based
I owe everything visible still
I-I'll just play with my Blue Peter home made dirt poor version made out of cardboard then cry a bit when none of my Transformers could fit in the hanger
>all the sitting toys look off due to articulation issues, except for Riker because he had articulation problems in RL
Heh.
>no tracy island and doesn't watch CITV like all the cool kids
sounds like a rough childhood
Really wanted that as a kid but they didn't release it in the UK, had the Stunticons but it wasn't the same.
Anymore I only buy Funko Pops.
Fuck yeah i loved that thing
Poor bob, he didn’t deserve his fate
amazon.co.uk
>those prices for a tracy island nowadays
CITV with based Old Bear Stories and ZZZap
I still have it and ecto-1 in the garage somewhere.
Great show, great toys. Alec was they only one that was hard to find.
It's weird remembering back to the time where there'd be a months long media circus around any summer blockbuster, only to have it fade away after the second week it was out.
I'm not sure when it ended.
Have Star Wars toys actually gotten worse or are toys just a dead medium?
A truly patrician toy.
This is legitimately a great game and you can solo it if you're friendless. There is a Predator version as well and the cards are between the sets are interchangeable.
I had the congo watch from Taco Bell with Amy on the face. Think it's in a box somewhere.
>sabrina the teenage witch
The cartoon or live action one?
I have to ask - I gave up buying any kind of this model in my childhood because I was slightly overwhelmed by all the versions and manufacturers and editions.
What would you personally go for?
>small toys
in another time, the children dumb enough to eat these wouldn't survive
The motor on that thing was crazy powerful. Used to attack my cat with it.
I had one of those! It was the head of Jar Jar
fucking hell
i must be a daft cunt for just chucking mine away
MP never ever. ( ._.)
jesus christ
80s and 90s toys are so fucking above any other era, they are on an entirely different plane and level alltogether. today's toys suck soulless shitdick. I feel geuninely bad for today's kids.
humans were a mistake
Don't care what anybody says, the AvP xenos are a good design. The wide birthing hips is a little much but it's like they just took out the overly mechanical bits they inherited from the Geiger art.
This is the Bandai DX Chogokin. It's probably the best version of the VF toy you can find now. It's large, full of diecast, and really well engineered. It's pretty much replaced the yamato 1/60 toy which is about 2 decades old. It's going to be anywhere from 200-300 bucks in the American market though. They get snapped up quick and the price jumps for resell here in the states.
If you touch it does it ring out in a mind piercing whistle?
I only got 3 :(
But that pic's from Aliens
I love how only the main character looks anything like the film and rest are just colorful generic guys with weird ass guns.
Had 4 Mr Fantastic’s, if you wanna trade.
Nope. The splayed out spiracles are a dead giveaway. The warriors in Aleins still had the weird muffler pipes and molded in ridges on their dome.
I love the scene with Batman and Superman fluting it off to the night. That is the best flute song I've ever heard.
I have this and it's awesome
So he has a target under that skin?
those are great playsets
superior action figure line comin through
I actually kinda like Door Ladder. Disney should make their next spin off of him.
Yeah. I think I have doubles of invisible woman, but there might be some dried jizz on it.
Let's just say, Chester Gould would have been in trouble had he lived in our modern Twitter age.
Don't renember Spock being in TNG
It's hard to find control art but here's the Hot Toys warrior from Aliens.
They basically cleaned up the design a lot, making them more frail and exaggerated the anatomy a bit.
No plastic hoses and car parts on the avp xeno but yeah the hips are kind of dumb and give them an hourglass figure.
It takes balls to work on top of Geiger but they never could quite pull off his original take to begin with.
Fuck zoomers they'll never know
Bought this for the wheelchair alone 'cause I needed it for a stop-motion short back in film school.
Post the short
>turning all the lights off because the trap glows in the dark
First off, it's shit, and secondly, it's on VHS.
this nigger knows
>The final generation of toys was total trash
>Grid Iron in particular
I remember a Christmas where my parents totally surprised me. It was the greatest Christmas ever. They got me every drop trooper, some of the aquatic and deep space suits, the police guy and his suit, two big mechs, and a fighter. That was the best christmas
Those were some serious intricate toys that were nearly impossible for a child to break. Even the stickers held on through water and sun.
Based and kino
Then record it and post a MEGA link to it
Because that toy line is based on the animated series.
The Commandos were based, but the Gorgonites were the nuWars Finn figures of their day. Nobody wanted that shit.
>tfw I had it
>tfw no one else I knew had it
>My brother and I had those and we saw terminators 2 and mom said we weren't allowed to play Terminator but we used them and pretended they were Gatling guns anyways and that we were both Arnold wasting the police rather than only cars or suppressing cops
ah shit i had that robocop with the blasting stuff on his back
that looks kino
>ED209 as a toy
>It unloads 20mm rounds into some poor office cuck for five minutes turning his body into paste in gruesome detail
>Let's sell it as a toy
>Kids replay that moment
No wonder there's school shootings
>Jurassic Park Chaos Effect
Cringe or Based?
Fuck I had almost all of those. Why are there two snake aliens? What's the ice blue alien? What's the purple gorilla? Is that a fucking fly on the left? What the fuck is the deep red one with the green egg next to it? What's the neon green one in the back left?
damn whats up with the weird colors on the dino's?
Is it just me or did Burger King go to absolute shit around the year 2000? Their food has tasted like shit ever since The Man forced them to remove trans fats. Their chicken tenders, burgers and fries were GODLY in the 90s.
back in the 80s and 90s kids weren't turned into oversensitive pussies.
Jurassic World:
>"Genetic hybrid dinosaurs are bad"
Also Jurassic World:
>had that exploding scorpion alien as a kid
>it went missing
>I never lose toys, I was careful with them, especially this one since it had all those parts
>hear about old neighbor kid getting into selling drugs, robbery and just in and out of jail
>remember how neighbor kid said he liked my scorpion alien a lot and he had queen and gorilla
>"HE STOLE IT!"
One of the biggest mysteries of my kid life, but I think I solved it. I remember I caught him stealing drawings from me, I think he stole a couple other toys too, I blame my mom for "babysitting" and letting a little shit kid in my room when I wasnt there.
this was canceled wasn't it? or a cartoon for it was canceled?
OUTTA MY WAY YOU WEAK SHITS
2 and 3... :'(
all dinotoys are based.
I always found it hilarious that they made toys of a literal space rapist designed to have a penis for a head.
No, this was just one a few of the many completely disconnected dino toys for JW.
It was like all the Batman toy variants for Batman Returns all over again, minus all the post-release parental backlash.
Based KB Toys always had Aliens and X-MEN figures dirt cheap on clearance long after they quit making them.
for me, its Toby-One
shiit i had the first one the feels,the feels
I always wanted them, but my autism wouldn't allow me to mix non-canon toys with the rest.
thats kino alien toy. i have one , good times
>NECA
enjoy your falling limbs
Barbie Bond Girls
Why would an infiltrator have a big mechanical claw?
Based Kenner was always doing repaints to milk every little cent out of a franchise. Goddamn, I miss them. They made all the best toys of my childhood. Fuck Hasbro and Mattel.
neca was still better then kenner
transformers toys are always cool. i have this bad boy. tarantulas my man
I had all of those, except apone and the scorpion.
I'm old.
>he played with Disney toys
>neca was still better then kenner
TAKE THAT BACK, YOU SON OF A BITCH
Took me ages to collect the whole set, same as in pic.
Unification. Season 5, episodes 7&8
holy shit based.
Got this for Christmas at my grandmas.
holy shit. i did not even know that mad max toys existed
Based
Remember when Star Wars tried to do Goosebumps?
My parents never bought me toys so i just would draw in notebooks and i got really good at drawing and yes, i drew porn
Japanese one is better
>Divine quads checked
Nice, toys aren't that fun to actually play with anyway.
>broke my wresting ring with a giant gobstopper
I wanted to get that one
What is the greatest action figure ever made and why was it Kenner's Quick Change Bruce Wayne?
reminds me of lego exo force. those were the shit I wish they brought them back
Holy shit, I remember wanting to buy this shit as a kid but my parents refused because the gloves were “dangerous”. Instead I got a bunch of knock off ROTS figures. Fucking cunts.
Nah the best one of those is with the one with the utility belt that can be pulled out and used as a zip line. It was also the only one that looked like the regular Bat Suit. It annoyed me way back when that it was always these variants of what ever the toy was and I JUST wanted the regular version.
It's amazing how Disney's nuWars has almost completely killed my nostalgia for Star Wars. Hell, even the terrible Jurassic World flicks haven't done a thing to my boner for Jurassic Park.
>no biker mice from mars
Wtf is wrong with all of you??
I had that one, and so did my friends, but those faggots pulled off the zipline. I never got how it was so easy for them to break.
Okay, I’m fucking stupid. I was talking about this one. I actually had the mask and the gloves thing but it was from the animated series. I’ll never forget that one Christmas where I got figures of Dock Ock, Harry Potter, Spiderman (I think?) and Voldemort.
The green one is the alien king I believe.
All they did was make sound, what the fuck was wrong with your parents?
I was always impressed with that toy's likeness to Michael Keaton. Usually Kenner figures looked nothing like their real life counterparts (I'm looking at you Dennis Nedry).
>wasting pigs with proton packs
Supremely based
Oh.
Were they worried you were gonna consume the web stuff?
I don’t know. Their excuse was pretty shit. I think it was about it’s possible “toxicity” or I’ll shoot it at someone and damage his vision. I was jealous at that one kid who had that thing though.
I still have this I lost the human skin arm.
It ain't gonna blow itself, bub.
Its those LOL dolls and stuff like that I think are popular nowadays
Considering I don't have any, I'll just enjoy the great toy, thanks.
I used to shoot my sister with this thing, good times.
>Walking home from Toys R Us with a toy you bought as a carefree child
Please tell me you were an American living in the suburbs like I am picturing
For me it's the Batman Returns Batmissle Batmobile. The most kino of toys.
Wait wtf why was he there and not in Generations
Based
>Plastic overpriced trash addict
>Has to sign a contract with his wife
LMAO at those soiym.
cope
Bitch, they came in the cereal box
I HAD NO CHOICE.
AH FUCK I STILL HAVE ONE OF THESE PACKED AWAY SOMEWHERE
THAT SHIT WAS SO CASH
Amazon marketplace prices are always fucking comical. If you want to get a realistic idea of the price of stuff, look at sold ebay listings.
Also god-tier
Nope
I still have mine! I'm not sure if I still have both of the golden missiles though.
I only have two batmobiles scaled for figures
The 1966 one and the silver Legends of Batman one
i had that pterodactyl, it had a spike you pushed on its back and the tail would curl up like a scorpions stinger
What was your childhood white whale? Mine was the Lost World Mobile Command Center. I only saw it in a store one time when I was on vacation and that sum bitch was like $200 in 1997 money.
The worst part about buying star wars toys back then is the good vehicles were always sold out and they always had the fanfiction vehicles designed by kenner. Retailers didnt like the big toys (too much shelf space) and preferred stocking this shit.
The movie sucked but goddamn they put everything they got on the toyline.
Wanted the Trasher T-rex for Christmas, my parents got me the chasmosaurus instead and few others TLW toys. Still have them in pretty great condition, I bought the Trasher and Bull Rex years ago with my first paycheck.
anyone else pimp their bike up?
Big Macs always look amazing in promotional photos.
Guess I was fortunate to have the ships though
I remember that there was a STRICT embargo on Godzilla '98 toys because Sony wanted to keep the creature design a secret. The toys weren't released until the day the movie debuted. My mom surprised me with the figure you posted when I got out of school that Friday. Good times and thanks for reading my blog.
BASED!
The fact that the movie bombed and got bad word to mouth ended up with the closing of a few companies thanks to the embargo.
I know for fact that retails had way too much stuff that didn't sell, so they didn't want to the toyline for the animated show that aired after.
I remember the aisles where full of Godzilla stuff or whatever blockbuster that got a toyline in the 90's. No whenever I go to a toy store of whatever you barely have any stuff and they never restock anything.
Also, pic related is from Animorphs, that fucker was the arch nemesis of my G98 figure, along with the alien from ID4
He thicc
I had one of these and gave it away for free. I have been cursed ever since.
Micro Machines Super Van City.
Aren’t these merchandise threads so comfy?
Only had the mirror
Speaking of unreleased Beetlejuice merch...
For me it was the Incredicar.
There was a Thunderbirds pinball machine made last year. Bet you didn't know that, didja?
i had that. quite awesome
MY NIGGA. That would sell like crazy if they rereleased it.
Haven't been there in forever but the last time I ordered fries I found an onion ring in the middle.
Best. Day. Ever.
That thing was the tits, especially with the gliding Jeff Goldblum set to swoop in and save the day.
These were straight up toy kino. They had a bunch of them too. I had a bunch of Uruk-hai
Based Pinball user. That artwork is great.
I still have a complete Beast Wars collection.
Motherfucking Fuzors.
Every man should have all of them at some point in there life.
I had some sick Shadows of the Empire action figures. Most were generic goons but they had the best operable joints.
These were the highest detailed and nicest toys I ever had. I only had a faggot pippen and a moria goblin but they were so awesome.
LOTR figures hit me at that awkward phase where I realized I wasn't interested in playing with toys anymore. It was tragic, because I wanted them... but then I didn't really do anything with them...
Based and toypilled
I totally bought that shit at the Universal Studios giftshop back in the day.
I think I had Sky Shadow and Quickstrike but in different colours? I don;t know how transmorphers work
It's all about the motherfucking Batwing.
It absolutely pains me to this day that I had outgrown toys right around the time LotR came out. Those toys look amazing.
I wanted that SilverBolt SO fucking badly. I had tons of Beast Wars toys, including the Optimus TransMetal which I loved. Always wanted the OG Optimus Primal (the ape one) and SilverBolt though. Damn.
I miss the toys that had nothing to do with the actual movie.
Me too man. If I only had them a couple of years before they would have enhanced my childhood,
Dude right??? They were awesome, but it was right around the time I went all video-games-crazy and then action figures were like... "Why do I do these things?"
I had one of those.
Ha, sick.
I used to wage wars with these, my beast wars, jurassic park, and transformers figures.
To reminisce.
Shit he still holds up well today thanks to ball joints. He's one of the most show accurate ones too.
Before star wars had 100% shit the bed I went to find my kid a lightsaber and was disgusted to find that evidently they're too stupid now to make one that retracts AND lights up like pic related. Now it's gimpy bullshit blades that stick out half way or they don't light up at all.
Ripley never said that.
Did any of you Leaf or Euro niggas get the Madonna figure? They didn't sell it in Burgerland and it goes for ridiculous prices today.
JP toys will forever be the GOAT and there is nothing you can do to convince me otherwise.
I was thinking about the few Jurassic Park toys I had and how much I liked them.
Micromachines and by extension Zbots was such a fun toy property. It sucks Hasbro doesn't try to bring it back.
Blessed thread
>It sucks Hasbro doesn't try to bring it back.
They did as a soulless Force Awakens tie-in
What kills me is that they re-released this fucking thing in different colours almost through the whole 90s and I wanted it every christmas and never got it.
Now I can't even buy it on ebay because it's damn near impossible to find in a decent condition and regardless of how much it'd cost, part of me knows it could never live up to the childhood hype.
kino
I never knew that they made a military version. Thing is fucking sweet.
Gonna be starting a new merch thread soon.
