    We had something called "Barnyard Animals". They were wierd little animals that smelled stinky when you squeezed them.

        I have around somewhere in the office a carded bunch of little 1" high, non-poseable little rubber figures of women in various poses- feeding a baby, lifting weights, etc.
        I think Mattel put them out in the 80s- they were called C.U.T.I.E.S.
        Maybe part of the whole women empowerment thing?

          The first 3 "basic assortments" of Ninja Turtles was OK. That line jumped the shark fast and went on to be what has to be one of the most annoying and corny toyline ever created.

          There were a lot of less popular lines I liked, such as Bionic Six and Supernaturals. I don't remember any other kid liking Supernaturals.

          But for really odd? I liked Skateboard Smack-Ups and these:

          If anyone has some, I want them.

                They had holograms and they glowed in the dark. What's not to love?

                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...

                      Does anybody remember a line from the 80's that was like Nutty Mads? I only remember that they were mostly sports figures, but, you know, all ka-razy like. Thought they were made by LJN but cant find them ATM.
