Pablo Hidalgo: I like the "kids are losing interest in our action figures; let's include coins. kids love coins" thinking of 1985 in Star Wars. "... what if we included stamps?"

Meanwhile, further down the aisle, Hasbro has swivel arm battle grip, robots turning into trucks, and Mattel has Man-E-Faces. Poor Lumat and Romba never stood a chance.

I so greatly appreciated the pivot away from insanely muscular figures with non canon weapons to more screen accurate figures The detail of the prequel figures made me so happy

i still haven't recovered from the "power of the force" series in the 90s with their overly muscled frames

But… Han in Carbonite and Stormtrooper Luke!

We never got to the giant playtest stage. USS Flagg sized Star Destroyer or Death Star would have been great.

Stinkor with the never fading skunk smell was mind blowing to me as a kid. Like how they get the smell to never leave?

“Ok, hear me out… Slides!”

i have a bunch of these

My 2.5 year old is absolutely obsessed with the Ewoks cartoon and out of curiosity I looked up the toys on eBay to see what was available to kids then. The coins caught me off guard. (2.5's favorite character is Teebo, btw)

I miss the Droid Factory era when every figure included a droid part.
