I like the mini monsters cards. They really pop. I do kind of miss the pre-style guide Universal Monsters toy art.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

What a great post! It's funny, I remember all of the different elements on those Joe cards, but kind of took them for granted as a kid. Never realized all the thought and hard work that probably went into them. I just plain enjoyed them. I used to love the file cards! The flag points were awesome too. I still have my mail-away cobra commander.Comment

Another favorite of mine were the Tomland cards. A little crude but still so much fun. This pic is from Brian's site, Plaid Stallions. Just browse his site and you're bound to run across a lot of incredible toy artwork. Hope you don't mind me posting this pic Brian.
