I had a few Marx figures, but the Lone Ranger seemed to be the favorite.. I had Tonto and Silver too, and all the accoutrements.
I had the Marx Viking but for some reason I didn't like it as much, though I'd love one now.

Hammerhead, just because he was so freaky.

Here's the Marx Viking as he might appear in a toy burial mound, with all his worldly plastic goods.

The top 2 were Micronauts - my version of the second one (Pharoid) was gray and black, though, and it doesn't show the time chamber, which was the best part (a plastic sarcophagus!). Also, for some reason, the Fisher-Price gorilla is standing on his hind legs in the third picture. Mine did that sometimes, too, when he felt like it, but then again, so did the zebra and giraffe.

The Wendy O. Williams action figure is the link to the "What to do with old TV's?" thread.

I dug the weird completeness of the Star Wars line, and I'd love Transformers when I was older (well, and after I stopped thinking of them as Gobots wanna-bes), but Micronauts just plain out-cooled everything.

I was partial to the Star Wars figures in Endor gear - Luke, Leia, and Han in full camo gear.

Actually, wait - sorry! my swimming one wasn't that one at all. It didn't have a long neck; it was like a frog.

my favorite toy was a wind-up plastic motorcyclist, about 9" tall. he sat in a base with a hand-crank. you'd crank the thing for about a minute and then hit some sort of button on the base and the motorcyclist would zoom off. he had some sort of gyroscope that kept him standing. we'd launch him off the top of the stairs, off ramps, into walls, and so on. poor mf took a lot of abuse.

It was rubbish then. and it was rubbish now. I was never keen on action figures - I'd make my own playsets, action figures and cool low-ride cars from Lego.
