How many of these did you guys have?
I had: Roton from the Metal Men Astronauts, 1995 Punisher, several M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, only the regular version of Outback, Matt Trakker and his flying car, Captain Power, Battle Beasts, '85 Flint, Hordak, Grimlock (my first figure ever), and Skeletor.

I have so many of those action figures it is crazy... probably at least 80 percent of that list if not more. I guess I was lucky because I got hand me downs of all the awesome stuff from the 70's and early 80's. I got most of the stuff from 84 onwards myself and continued collecting through most of the 90's up to this day.
I would never be able to make a list like that, however. There are just too many action figures I like, I would never be able to choose.

List sucks for not including pictures of every single toy.

I agree completely. Also, this list could have had so much more. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Grimlock shouldn't be so high. Or really, on the list at all. The Dinobots were notoriously shoddy pieces of shit that sold on gimmick alone. The hinges that held them together were cheap as fuck and would invariably break after prolonged use.
I didn't see Destro on the list at all, which is bullshit considering he was awesome. But there was room for THREE Snake Eyes figures. What in the fuck? I realize that Snake Eyes was cool in an "OMG! We're American kids and we have never seen ninjas before!" kinda way in the pre-Turtles era, but in terms of design, he sucks. Oh boy, an all-black figure with a sword. Well suck my cock and call me Charlie, that's just *so* damn exciting.

Yeah, there was too much Snake Eyes and Destro definitely deserves a spot on that list. Also, out of all the 80's TMNT action figures, they chose Casey Jones? There were tons of way more awesome figures than him.

"72. Destro v.2 (1988 Hasbro G.I. Joe ARAH) Very underrated version of Destro from the classic days, I prefer the more detailed, larger, and much more interesting Destro from 1988, plus he came with his bad ass Despoiler vehicle and a cloth cape. Very cool."

Would it be going too far to admit I liked the Foot Soldiers better than Casey? As a child, I did

Well that's good that Destro did in fact make the list. Again, it was hard to read without pictures.

I had the Casey Jones toy, actually the only one on that whole list I owned, but I agree the TMNT line had much better ones than him. I had most of the turtles from that line and a few others. Though I still think my favorite was a Raphael I got later that you could stick his head down in his shell and pop it back out. The Turtles stuff was really the only name brand stuff I ever owned as a kid though so I don't have much to compare them to.

Feh, Man-E-Faces was far inferior to Mosquitor or even Stinkor. Yes, Man-E-Faces was worse than a patchouli scented bipedal skunk. Deal with it.

I had/have a good amount of those. Solid Snake is one of my favorites. The MGS line from McFarlane was awesome. Vulcan Raven figure was massive.
