Even though Team America was cool, I still felt sorry for the kids who were born too late and missed the Evel Knievel craze.

I totally agree Sharry lucky for me though I experienced both Evel and Team America good times

Neat! I don't think I've seen those commercials before. How did those Guzzlers cars really work? I can't imagine they actually ran on water.

Ideal may have solved the energy crisis, and no one remembers it?

I too was fortunate to have both Evel Kneivel AND Team America toys. I had the Dirt Bike, and the Dune Buggy that came with Wolf or Lobo or whatever his name was. Good stuff, and close enough to Mego scale for me!

I actually have a guzzler in the box. I am selling it in my antique mall. I will have to grab it and see how it works exactly.

1980 seemed too early for these to me, because I was basing my knowledge of the toy on the Marvel comic book, which I dearly loved (and which was written by Bill Mantlo, an all-time favorite of mine). I looked it up and I was right: comic was published from '82-'83.

I had no idea the Marvel character TA guys were ever released as single cards, but they were... .
