Most Underrated Toy Lines?

Thundercats.. UNDERRATED??

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.

For me it would easily be Fisher Price Adventure People. These are still played with in my house by my kids.

C.O.P.S and CROOKS of course. They were like 3 3/4 inch joes... standing at 5 or 6 inches! For a kid it's a no brainer!

That and M.U.S.C.L.E (based on Japan's hugely popular Kinnikuman) Of course poor marketing by Mattel did that one in more than the fact that they were tiny inarticulate gumball machine sized toys molded in fleshy pink... that came with a wrestling ring. I still love'em and collect'em.

Little Bigman...these were great if you couldn't afford all the action man bits as they came fully accessoried up

Marx's Ready Gang!

Basically a mix of 8" Mego with the classic Best of the West line! While, I never cared for the rooted hair, the look and detail of these figures was incredible.

how about the X-men toybiz figures they came out with at the start of the 90's? I absolutely love these things! They go for pennies on eBay, regardless each figure has it's own action feature (not unlike the Super Powers), I used to buy these things for $2 in bargain bins as they werent a huge seller when they came out either, they were based on the X-men 1992 cartoon (which is also a great show), any one else ever had these?

There was such a lull for superhero media and action figures at that point
compared to nowadays PLUS it was pre-Ebay so that collecting a mess of
those was my only choice to enjoy a hobby---and they were in scale with
my clunky DC Toy Biz Super Powers "ripoff" collection so that was a plus--
and the other ToyBiz Marvel figures came out at that time too, right?

I have them in storage and may pick up collecting 'em again in the future if
only for their aforementioned low prices

(Thank god though in 1995 for the new STAR WARS figures and then
the eventual Ebay surge, because there was only so much modern X-Men
I could enjoy)

Also, I wanna put in a vote for the CLASH OF THE TITANS line being
underrated---so underrated, that the set was very limited in characters
but, man I think it had potential

LOL! see what I mean..no love
nah I know what you mean,but I actually do think they look like the movie characters,and for the price you could get them online you really can't go wrong.But I guess you have to like the movie to really like the fig's,I actually like the Toxic Crusaders too
