Something that im interested in collecting is toys from the early eighties based on videogames, the problem is I cant remember 99% of them. I know there to be five or so figurines of Pacman (such as Ms pacman from the link) vintage MS. PAC-MAN collectable arcade figure MOC Coleco | eBay What eles was available? Was there anything with Q-bert, Frogger, etc.?
Pac-Man had all kinds of stuff. Like trading cards, Board games and plush toys. Tomy also made a neat set of Pac-Man wind ups. They ran along and chomped.
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...
There are Donkey kong ones, I still have Mario, but DK and Pauline are long gone. Pauline came with a mini DK arcade cabinet! There are a few other pac man ones, (one has a halo and angel wings?) Q*bert ones were out too, that's all of the PVC ones I can recall at the moment.

I recall quite a few Pac Man items in stores back in the day...
One thing I did have a lot of were the Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong scratch game cards, where you rubbed off the dots to play the game.
Looking for loose MEGO COMIC ACTION HEROES
I had all those Pac mac PVCs... and the Donkey Kong ones too.
Bizzaro Megomauler is right about Pauline with the Cab. There was DK himself holding a barrel and DK jr on a vine as well. And of course... MARIO.

I still have the Mr and MRs Pac wedding PVCs somewhere around here.
I had a QBert that you wound up and he hopped as well.
I don't remember anything for Frogger though.

Thanks alot guys, I knew some of you here would remember!
Too obsessed to turn back
When I think of arcade figures, the first thing that pops to mind is TRON. Even before the movie came out, the game was a blast. Now of course the figures are movie based, but I still see them as true arcade figures too.
It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.
Thats a very good point. Those tron figures were great. My favorite tron game is still Disc of Tron. Its a challenge after a few levels!
Qbert had some plush guys too in different sizes. There's a really rare stuffed Qbert snake out there too. Also the Qbert blow-mold banks are pretty cool too.

Those Q*Bert toys are awesome.
