    Power Lords

    Sectaurs

    Zoids

    ...and this guy from Starriors. Easily the best working remote control toy of the 80's.

    Starriors COSMITTOR Sonic Control Dinosaur Robot, made in Japan in 1984 by Tomy. Part no. 5311. Cosmittor is a plastic, 7.5in tall, remote control robot action figure, part of Tomys Starriors toy line. Cosmittor is 2 robots, Deadeye and Cricket. The larger Deadeye is mostly red, resembling some kind of futuristic dinosaur. Cricket is the small black remote control clicker.

    I'd have to add my vote for the Adventure People. Great, tough figures and vehicles that you could have a ton of adventures with. My friend and I had a large collection between us, and we played the heck out of those things!

    The Pirates of DarkWater was a very nicely done line, the figures were very colorful and well sculpted, and the pirate ship was cool. There were only 8 figures and the ship, I had sold the whole set a while back trying to thin out the collection.

    I've always been a fan of the dollar store Super Powers knockoffs. I need to pick up Bats sometime.

    I knew I would miss something important to me. I really love Timpo Swoppets. They were little figurines that you could take apart and mix pieces with each other. They came apart at the head and waist.
    Definitely some of the earliest toys I remember. They had vehicles and buildings. I remember having a stagecoach and a fort. They had cowboys, Indians, civil war, vikings, knights and probably a few I'm forgetting.
    They definitely have a following but I'm not sure how many are into these. I certainly don't hear about these unless I go looking for them. Is there anyone else here into these?

    The Galoob Star Trek TNG Bridge was never produced, that would have been cool.

    There's a lot of good picks here. Ones that are mentioned that I have a lot of love for are:

    Mobile Action Command - I only had a few pieces from this line but I loved the ones I had. I used to pretend that the little guy in blue was the Atom with my Megos.

    Metal Man - I had quite a bit from this line. Super fond of these. I used to pretend that the space ship was Steve Austin's.

    Lone Ranger - I don't know if It belongs on this list or not but I love this line.

    My picks that I didn't see on this list are:

    Little Dracula
    Monster Force
    9inch Star Trek - I almost have all of these and they are prominently displayed in my home.
    Shadow movie line - I mention this line mostly because of the vehicles.
    Sgt. Savage - mostly for the vehicles also.

    I'm sure as soon as I post this I'll think of an other.

    I was always underwhelmed with silver hawks,thunder cats and even masters,I thought they could have been so much better,I had always wished the masters figures looked like the back of the card art instead of like overmuscular dwarf figures.silverhawks felt cheap and wished they had the switch face mask on the show.but figures like Sectuars,Crystar,bravestarr,power lords,captain power had potential.i loved the simple ness of the remco sgt rock figures,unlike the joes,you could have ww 2 action with the rock.star trek figures from galoob were exceptional.

    I think one of the most underrated lines was the the Converters toyline. Especially when they got into the 3rd wave with the Avions and the Insectors
    Converters were great but when it comes to mid '80s transforming robots this zybots set comes to mind. I even think Gobots are a little underrated. I never minded getting them as Christmas gifts. I wish all 3 of those lines could have been around longer.

    Some of those I know, good ones!

    How about Bionic Six?

    Those might be the heaviest action figure in their size.
