For me it would easily be Fisher Price Adventure People. These are still played with in my house by my kids.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

I just bought the Thundercats Matty figures (all of them) only because I am a huge MOTUC fan and the 2 lines blend so well together.
I knew practically nothing about the whole Thundercats franchise, but then did some research... and, maybe it's my age (Thundercats overall being "after my time" so to speak), but I have to agree that the significance and/or quality of the original Thundercats toyline could be viewed as currently underrated."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Always liked Kenner's Bone Age collection since I picked up a bunch of them from a bargain store chain in the early 90s.

LJN Dungeons & Dragons.
The best of toys that may have had less of a demand.
Action figures and non movable figures.
Some of the greatest imagination and creativity ever.
The toyline had one of the most unique and most fantastic playset in history.

I don't think Thudercats get enough love. Generally very high quality sculpts, and nice sturdy figures with pretty awesome action features.
Inhumanoids.
The Real Ghost Busters. Again, fun action features can really make a toy line. Particularly on the Monster and creatures toys.

Depends on the context.
I was meaning it from a 2017 perspective... and certainly not in competition with toylines I never even heard of.
You make good points... and, hey, you may even be correct about the intent of this thread (altho' I highly doubt it, as Thundercats was kind of the "jumping off point" here)...
... but, also, you don't have a monopoly on what "underrated" in the context of toylines means.
Carry on though. Glad this thread got resurrected! It's an interesting topic for this crowd!"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'.

^Silverhawks was a line I was very tempted by, but I never pulled the trigger either. I was getting to the end of my toy playing days. Kenner took the main wing-pop gimmick and gave it to my favorite Michael Keaton Batman in The Dark Knight Collection line.
I did have a few of The Real Ghostbusters...man, those things were just a lot of fun. Great toys. Kenner was tops for quality and play value back then.

I always thought Kenner's Megabug Gladiators should have been a bigger hit.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
