Which action figures did you have (still have)?

Do you still have your old collection of action figures? What about those calculator wrist watches from Casio? Talk about it here!

Which action figures did you have (still have)?

Let's kickstart an action figure thread peeps!

What I loved the most when I was a kid was Transformers, He-Man, GI Joe and Turtles.

I remember having this huge tier mobile base from GI Joe:

Also, one of my favorite sets was the Fright Zone from He-Man:

I remember this set came with a rubber snake which I could put my hand in. A lot of action figures was devoured by this snake. I also remember blowing it up like a balloon until it bursted. :cry:

An action figure I really wanted as a kid was the Transformer who could transform into a (grey) train and if I remember correctly he could also transform into a fighter jet. I remember I wanted it one christmas but I ended up getting Man at arms instead (He-Man). Pretty sad, as I hated this He-Man character and he didn't have any cool features I liked either:

The last huge playset I remember having as a child was perhaps the coolest of them all. The Scorpion from Transformers Decepticons!

This was a huge playset and it could of course transform into a huge robot as well. It had huge claws and storage rooms for other (smaller) transformers. I really loved this one. Also, I remember that when you had it in "scorpion mode" you could pull it across the floor and it would move just like a "real" scorpion.

I have probably forgotten about most of the action figures I had as a kid, but I'm sure you guys have lots more to share. :)

I'vbe watched Emmet Otter's Jugband Christams every christmas season since 1986. It's absolutely, hands down, a must-watch during November in my house. That and "The Muppet Family Christmas" are actually my favorite Christmas specials of all time. It's good to see that others can appreciate their awesome-ness. BTW, as far as "Other characters from The Jim henson hour", what about The Ultra-Gorgan from "The Monster Maker"? That thing is a walking NIGHTMARE! Personally, I'd like to see a small series of action figures based on the first season of "The Storyteller" as well
