    4. Power Lords (Revell)
    5. Original TMNT (playmates)
    6. Van Helsing (jakks Pacific)
    7. Dungeons & Dragons (LIN)
    8. MASK (Kenner)
    9. Egale Force (Mego)
    10. marvel Legends (Toy Biz/Hasbro)

    Mine would have to be as follows:
    Transformers
    GI Joe 3 3/4"
    Manglors
    Gobots
    Micronauts
    Shogun Warriors
    Star Wars
    Mask
    Inhumaniods
    Tron
    These are just some of the ones I remember growing up with until I got bit by the mego bug as an adult kid.

            From a history standpoint and not my own particular tastes, for action figures I'd go with:
            1. G.I. Joe (without this, there'd be no catergory)
            2. Star Wars
            3. WGSH
            4. Masters of the Universe
            5. Transformers
            6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
            7. Spawn (I don't like this series, but I think it's focus on collectors, it's sculpting detail, and it's scale influenced almost every line after it, including DC and Marvel lines)
            8. Power Rangers
            9. Jakks WWE line
            10. Rescue Heroes (it launched several imitators and lasted for years).

                I tried to pick influental lines, and lines that have lasted a long time. It was really hard to leave Super Powers and BTAS off that list but I did. Super Powers you could probably argue due to the 4-5" scale which dominated action figures for years, and the "power action" feature which is still used a lot.
