4317ArticlekodakofiremembergamingSailor Moon, Conan the Barbarian, King Arthur and the Knights of the round, and Swat Kats was the Sunday Cartoons in Utah in the 90s. I wasn't allowed to watch on Sunday but did anyhow. I also remember some girl show called princess Guinevere and the jewel riders. One morning I was flipping Channels and saw an ad saying . Watch Princess Guinevere and the jewel riders for a phone number to appear. The first caller gets the complete toy collection of all the toys ever released. I flipped back to Swat Kats but during every commercial, I flipped back just to see if I could see the number. Sure Enough during one of the breaks, THere it was. I knew I would be busted if I used the phone my parents would wake up and I didn't want those toys anyway. Also, I was sure someone else would def already have won. Now, of course, Utah being a super religious state, THe majority of kids I went to school with were not allowed to watch on Sunday either. The number disapeared, I went back to Swat kats but not before seeing a message saying they would announce a winner later. Next Commercial break I flipped back wanting to see who won. The cartoon was super annoying and I was about to flip away when suddenly I Saw the number appear again. Uhhh whut???? No one had called the first timehahahahah no one was watching that shit cartoon in all of Utah. I couldnt believe it. I got super tempted. THinking I could use the big princess castle as like a base for my toys . I almost went and snagged the phone , but I really didnt wanna get busted. I stayed on the channel. The number disapeared . after a commercial break it came back. Ok this time I was gonna do it I couldnt believe that no one had claimed the prize. I slowly slowly snuck into my parents room. They were both asleep, I grabbed the phone and slowly stole back to the tv room. as I looked up at the number and started dialing it disapeared before I could get it in. DAMN IT. I thought. Praying it would appear again. a little Time pass and a girls name appeared on the screen. And thats the sunday morning I almost converted from straight to Gay. Mar 22, 2018View

4230ArticleVaporman87That Orko figure was always the subject of disappointment for me. I think they could have done a lot more with him, and come out with a few variants with different gimmicks.Action Figure Reclamation Project Phase 2Dec 22, 2017View
4259ArticlepikachuloverI have the morphing Kimberly figure from childhood. I took it to the beach and I used to play with it in my pool. She got a little rusty. This reminds me of a funny story about my 5th grade class had to build a model colonial village and we were put into groups. There was this guy who was a big Power Rangers fan and wanted to put his figures in the village. The other member of the group who made herself leader was a really mature girl and threatened me not to include any Power Rangers in our colonial village model. I was more interested in making milk carton houses and moss. Power Rangers didn't look colonial. Then I imagined a Power Ranger figure in a colonial outfit over their ranger suit.
