    I agree with almost all that has already been said. This list is pathetic. For starters the Rocky line from jakks was marketed to adult collectors. I remember getting my preorder Drago. I waited 20 years for a Drago and they delivered with several differeent ones. Granted there was a few figs i hated but jakks covered the movies well. There may have been too many figures but hell we almost got that damn annoying robot jakks was so good. And we got an awesome Tyson figure. I bought 2 so i could make a custom one with boxing gloves.
    And as far as TMNT, i grew up in Sharon Ct, home to eastman and laird. My mom had a business in the 80's like a kinkos now just she was ahead of her time. When they were just getting started they used to have tons of work done there. They told my mom between all the faxes and copies she did for them that she helped them hit it big. They gave her some sweet signed first run stuff. I sold it off for her a few years ago for quite a bit. When the turtle hit they were huge. The toys sold really well.
    I disagree with almost every selection this clown has on the list.

      Yeah, Moss Man is so terrible the new classics version sold out in like a minute on Mattycollector.

      This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

            Stinkor's smell was from mixing patchouli oil into the plastic.
            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...

                can we say "Spoiler Alert"? I never wanted to know that. I assumed it was all real and genuine.

                hehe

                  OK- Spoiler alert- it was patoulie oil but the real genuine part was that each Stinkor was first infused with the oil then rubbed on Skeletors sweaty old jock strap!

                      This was funny with some truth. But yes, Moss Man, Grizzlor and Stinkor were boss!!!

                        Awesome! Now I can make my own stinky character!

                        (although I actually like the smell of patchouli oil)

                          That article was a little harsh on the Raiders figures!

                            Whoever wrote that article is an idiot! Indiana Jones and Star Wars line was awesome including all the figures! I can think of a lot of other garbage toys that were made!
