Sundancer did appear in the She-Ra cartoon but was only in one episode. The other two crystal horses were only in the mini comics.

I want to insert my appreciation for your knowledge of MOTU. I have learned a lot from your willingness to share and it's made me branch out a bit into a line I knew nothing about.

Wow, thank you, that's so cool.

Remco American Defense

Lets talked about early knock-off G.I. Joe figures American Defense. These were cheap figures that if you played to hard they would break. But since they were inexpensive you could go back and replace them. This line had some very unusual characters for both the good guys and bad guys. They even had vehicles and playsets that were in the inexpensive range and sold at K-Mart.

I still have this figure in my collection. American Defense Demon Ranger The Killer Enemy Leader.

In the 8th grade, I was done playing with action figures but still would collect them when something interesting showed up. I was dating my 1st boyfriend and one weekend we walked into K-Mart and saw this figure. We both laughed and said he looks like a version of the Village People. So I bought him and started to work up my own 3.75 inch Village People figures. Oh how I wish I had thought about taking a picture of them or still had them all. I recently found this figure going through some older collections of mine. My how those memories come back.

Coleco Sectaurs Prince Dargon and Dragonflyer from 1985.

One of the more unusual takes of the sword & sorcery genre that really should have done better. Bug puppets!!

Shogun Godzilla--what a fun toy, wish I still had mine.

I think Coleco Sectaurs are brilliant, so innovative and well-designed. I feel lucky to still have my complete, original collection.

I wish I still had a few of the puppets and that base. Think of the Svengoolie sets I could have done with the bug puppets!

I restored mine this year. Mine also had a cracked claw, but it's all there. No broken lever (remarkable as mine is the first issue version). Just glued the foot, and bought a fist (my fist is an original. Though it *may* be for the later version).

That I'll fated line for the Green Lantern movie did release a comic book character first action figure of Voz

Green Lantern of Space Sector 571; Warden of the Oan Sciencells.

All he needed was a better paint job and he fit in with the JLU figures.

Peddle Car Batmobile

When I discovered I was going to be an Uncle I decided that he would know the comic book main characters including the Batman Family. I was lucky enough to find the vintage Batmobile peddle car.

since I have a concert driveway as soon as he was able to sit in it I began pushing him up and down the driveway. When his legs got long enough, he was able to peddle it 3 time. On that last time (cannot believe I am writing this) his 'Batmoblie lost a wheel'. One of the wheels lost its hubcap and the wheel came off. I still have the peddle car with a Plus Batman in it, but it is at my air condition storage shed.

LJN Tigersharks Mako for Toyvember.

One of the more obscure 80s toy lines and fairly scarce. I only remember seeing these at Woolworths. The gimmick, for this figure, was rotating the arm caused the heads to swap from human-ish to aquatic creatures. The figure also has pullout fins on the arms and legs. The cartoon wasn't bad it was pretty much a less cool Thundercats with sea creatures instead of cats. The real problem with the cartoon it was stuck in a syndicated cartoon block called the Comic Strip and the other cartoons were absolutely terrible.
