854 | Article | SegaFanatic | I'm a gamer, and I've NEVER heard of this series. Good work on your part. This was an interesting read. | The Jet Set Willy Saga | Nov 10, 2013 | |
853 | Article | Benjanime | that does sound weird. but i assume that any kids that actually missed out on halloween night wouldn't mind it | Benjanime's Halloween Retrospective | Nov 08, 2013 | |
852 | Article | Vaporman87 | I just now noticed in the first Golden Girl commercial that they show some of the male figures right at the end. They actually look kind of cool, from what I could tell. | Attack of the Warrior Women! | Nov 08, 2013 | |
851 | Article | MissM | Yeah, a cartoon would have possibly helped Golden Girl. (I even think there may have been an attempt, but I don't know if anything was ever officially produced.) I remember as a kid looking at this line and only thinking, "Gee, what's with the pretend She-Ra line?" She-Ra was fortunate to be a spin off of He-Man, it stretched that whole fantasy universe out that much longer. Golden Girl did have some male characters, but they weren't a part of any commercial that I have ever found. Both lines existed in such a strange time for toy collecting though! Glad you enjoyed reading this! | Attack of the Warrior Women! | Nov 08, 2013 | |
850 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. It's funny how age changes things like that. Pretty soon we will be the ones handing out the coupon books. LOL | Top 5 Best and Worst things to get in... | Nov 07, 2013 | |
849 | Article | Vaporman87 | It was just a fact of marketing toys back then that, if you didn't get a half hour cartoon to go along with your product, it had far less a chance to succeed. I don't remember anything about the Golden Girls. Though, I can see from the commercials the reason for that. She-Ra was a spin off of He-Man, which had a huge following with boys. So, as a boy, you were far more likely to know about She-Ra (and in many cases, buy some of the figures). Also, She-Ra had several supporting male characters, and even her arch nemesis was male. With Golden Girls, it appears the entire cast was female. I'm guessing this tied her success to being able to defeat other Mattel lines like Barbie. Not the competition you want for your toy line. Great read Miss M.! Thanks for this. | Attack of the Warrior Women! | Nov 07, 2013 | |
848 | Article | MissM | I didn't even know they made sugar free Jolly Rancher candy. That just seems so wrong! I really liked your list. And yeah, as a kid, a coupon book would be awful. But at my age now I'd probably want that one the most out of everything else. lol | Top 5 Best and Worst things to get in... | Nov 07, 2013 | |
847 | Article | MissM | Thank you very much OldSchool80s! | Retro-Daze Presents: Toy Talk with Miss M! | Nov 07, 2013 | |
846 | Article | OldSchool80s | Welcome! Looking forward to more! | Retro-Daze Presents: Toy Talk with Miss M! | Nov 06, 2013 | |
845 | Article | MissM | Thank you Vaporman87! I was thinking of a nice way to write a first post, and I thought, "what would it be like if I had a toy talk show?" lol I do think Flutterina went through some makeover stuff, because the new one does look a little different, but you are right, it is enough to make her feel like Flutterina. And I so know what you mean, this new NA Skeletor is a vast improvement! Just beyond vast! | Retro-Daze Presents: Toy Talk with Miss M! | Nov 06, 2013 |
