So, its Friday night and the Gnoll is home alone again. Watching bugs life brought back some memories for me!

Anyone remember the Army Ant toys from the 80s? They were so cute!

What are some other obscure 80s toys!

I had one of those. I pretended he hated being tucked up like that and I abused the crap out of him.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Star-com and Dinoriders 80's or 90's? Same thing with that line of Dinosaur toys, I had this anklosaurus one. My GI-Joes met their untimely fate due to firecracker and rocket motors.

My friend was moving and he actually found those. So sadly, the group of us sat and played with them for hours. Alcohol was involved.

Between these and legos I was a very amused micro-geek.

I was too old for toys in the 80's. I do remember that my brother had some totally kick-ass Star Wars guys. Cabbage Patch kids were all the rage, Stretch Armstrong was way cool (although I think he came out in '77 or so), legos were fun to play with, Electronic Battleship was the bomb, and I LOVED my Clue game.

I can't forget Intellivision! Not really a toy, but I had so much fun with that.
