All good things must take a break, and so it is with Wayback Wednesday. I am in the process of moving over the next month and a half, and therefore all of my toys are saying goodbye to the sunlight and being packed away. However, the silver lining of this is that it gives all of you the opportunity to let me know what YOU would like to see on upcoming Wayback Wednesday features!
So, how about it, what vintage toyline from your childhood do you wish more people knew about? What single retro toy do you want to see in more detail, or wish you had, or could never find, or wanted to steal from that bratty kid on the playground? Let me know!
And in the meantime, check out all of the past Wayback Wednesday articles!
Greetings Programs. Wayback Wednesday will (hopefully) be a weekly feature on those obscure toys and toylines of the 80's and early 90's. I hope to do my small part in helping these under-appreciated toys from being lost to obscurity while also reliving a few parts of my childhood. So to…
A brilliant yet evil genius, Dr. Terror fused half his body to a powerful computer system in a bizarre operation which he himself developed. Now programmed for the ultimate evil, he challenges The Centurions in a fight to rule the world! His cyborg half, Syntax launches a powerful missile and…
"Evil Insectoid Steed Carries Hordak Into Battle! It's the most awesome insect of all!" Alright, I've avoided it enough, I figured it was about time I shown a little light on some vintage MOTU, since it is technically a retro toyline. Wayback Wednesday prefers to stick to lesser-known toylines, but…

I want to see Sectaurs.warriors of symbion by Coleco.
In general, how about figures that were constructed out of translucent plastic. Specifically, how about a look at the classic Tomy TRON figures as well as Remco’s Crystar line.
I’d like to see a bit on Remco’s “Warlord”/”Warrior Beasts” line of Masters of the Universe-like figures.
Crystar the Crystal Warrior
–there’s a good angle too; some guy in Seattle is making a new, short prod. run of articulated Crystar-type classics.
Also:
Micronauts- best figure line ever.
Hows about some “Eagle Force” coverage?
I second that on Crystar. That’s a toy I had completely forgotten until I saw an old toy ad a few months ago. Suddenly all these fragmented childhood memories came rushing back to me. I want more.
Robotech Robolinks/Blockman
I would like to see The Visionaries action figures.
SECTAURS
SHOGUN WARRIORS
GERMS (Worlds of Wonder)
CRYSTAR
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (LJN)
CLASH OF THE TITANS KRAKEN
STARRIORS BATTLE STATION
BLACKSTAR
ps: LMK if you need any reference shots from some of this stuff.
StarCom: The U.S. Space Force
RoboCop and the Ultra Police
Dino Riders
The Real Ghostbusters
Ninja Warriors (Hasbro)
Thanks guys! The hard part with some of this stuff is simply acquiring it. Ive looked into Crystar a bit, but some of those are very pricey. I do have a few Ronin Warriors, and plan to get some Sectaurs.

How about Centurions, Battle Beasts, or M.U.S.C.L.E.? Some of my old faves.
Centurions & Battle Beasts are FOR SURE on my short list, as soon as I can get some for a decent price.
How about Centurions, Sky Commanders and Dino Riders?
