    If you could have one 80's toy line reproduced...

    In it's entirety, what would it be?

    I thought about this a lot...there were so many great ones. I narrowed it down to Super Powers, M.A.S.K. , MOTU, and Dino-Riders.

    Ultimately I went with Dino-Riders. I never owned a single one as a kid, but I would make an effort to collect the entire line. Always thought they looked amazing.

    Not much on 80's toys but I'd have to go with Marvel Secret Wars, made with many more unproduced heroes and villains.

      Dino-Riders was RIGHT after I got out of playing with toys. I watched that line and TMNT from afar, longingly. Well, I did buy one of each original Turtle, but other than that...

      I'd go Super Powers, for sure. But I don't really think I'd want all of them reproed. Just the big characters with a few different paint apps to note the difference. Then add in missing characters like Supergirl, Batgirl, a real Riddler, Nightwing, Bizarro, Man-Bat, Blue Beetle, Wonder Twins, etc.

      I still have most of my MASK vehicles and figures, although some are pretty beat up. But they are displayable for the most part.

        ^ I'm with Chris, even down to the specifics. Then, again, I think we are both the same age...born in 1974. Suoer Powers was the last magical toy line for me.

          I'd love to see Lords of Light redone....especially with all of the unproduced characters....

                Is 1979 close enough? I'd love to see Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings

                    I'd love to see a new Chuck Norris figure with a "fist in beard" action feature! Squeeze his legs and BAM!!!

                    The concept was silly, but that was a great toyline!

                      Most have come back in one form or another. One I'm surprised everyone has shied away from is Silverhawks.

                        That's a tough choice. There are so many great lines to choose from.

                        But if I had to just pick one, LJN's Dungeons and Dragons.

                        A terrific fantasy line that should have done better. There's nothing really else like it then or now. It had great selection of fantasy characters and RPG classes from Warlocks to Paladins. There were also so many planned unreleased characters, like Skylla, Filaree, Zargash and Foxfingers, that I would really like to see made.
                        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                          You beat me to it Werewolf! Dungeons and Dragons for sure, this time they could make the kids from the cartoon as well.
