I remember those! They were sweet. There were these other ones that were similar, I don't know if they were the same brand or not, but they were like monsters. There was this one guy I had who wore a hooded cloak, and they had holograms too (it was kind of a fad back then, I think)
Nice, maybe I can dig it up on youtube or something. Thanks! |

They didn't sell those in Calgary when I liked Power Rangers, so I built my own combining mech out of GI-Joe Vehicles, Glue, Tape and Lego. It couldn't move, but it could stand. Lego was also probably my favorite toy ever. I could and did build just about everything with it. |

Furbie. Frisbees are still around but I see your point as they are not nearly as populare same with hula hoops and yo-yos. |

I had both of those, and when I was younger and I loved them as well as the first generation fo Bionicles. They were pretty cool, and the monsters actually looked like Legos and were hard to build, they didn't use special pieces made jsut for them, instead they used good old Lego ingenuity. Blu Tac and sticks were also some of the best toys I ever had. |

Yeah, the monsters came with a little dude who could ride on the back of them. Were like a splinter line or something. I remembered another toy I thought was rather cool, was a sub-transformers thing. Little cyborg monster things that had a hidden symbol on their chest that when ya warmed it, it revealed a log, flame or wind thingy. Ooh, and that one reminds me of "monsters in your pocket". Little single colour thingies based off mythological and fantasy monsters with various point values, even had rare glow in the dark ones. They were a massive craze for about 8 months when I was in grade 6. Or was it 5? Eh, long time ago anyway. |

Hmm, I miss my old action man toys (the late 70s early 80s ones), Machine Men (Specifically the Rocklords), and another line I can't remember the name of, but it was a bunch of knights and smaller dudes in cloaks, and their chests/heads were a hologram that switched between a person and an animal. I miss the old boardgame Heroquest too.
Can't remember the name of the game ya mentioned, ThaBenMan, but I saw it being reviewed on an episode of attack of the show a while back.
