90s toys you regret not collecting?

[Werewolf]

I thought this might be kind of a fun topic since 90s toys don't often get a lot of love. In the decade when everything went EXTREME!! there were still some cool toys.

For me, Princess Gwenevere and the jewel riders by Kenner. It was really heavily inspired by She-Ra but I still passed on it because what I really wanted was an actual She-Ra toy line. Kind of regret that now. Cute little dolls.

I know I still would have collected the heck out of the Wonder Woman and the Star Riders knock off She-Ra line had that got made.

I had to look up this lineup.

While most of the 90's figures were done in the 'Extreme' action I wish I had picked up Swan's Crossings

Mainly due to the fact that it is the first action figure with Sarah Michelle Gellar

Monster in my Pocket

I got a few sets of them for my son who liked them, but it would have been cool to track down the complete set.
I mean we ended up with most of the first series but by the time the other series came out all of them had mysteriously disappeared.
My wife swore she had no idea what happened to them.

Gosh, all I can think of are '90s toys I regret collecting--mostly 12" GI Joes. I should have been focusing on vintage Mego, Capt. Action, and SMDM back then.

I'll be honest... I can't think of any... I do wish I had kept better care of my toys though...

I totally spaced on the existence of the Princess Gwenevere line. Man, that DOES look a lot like She-Ra! If Wonder Woman and the Star Riders had happened, I have no doubt Cindy and I would have gone all in on collecting that, as it was around the time we started dating. She at least has the lone mini-comic from Kellogg's cereal.



As for 90 lines I wish I had collected, I was tempted by Vor-Tech, Kenner's mid-90s attempt to revived M.A.S.K. under a new name. But I was too busy chasing after all the Kenner Batman figures throughout the decade. In hindsight I too wish I'd slowed that down a bit and concentrated on earlier figures when they were still affordable.

This one's hard, I picked up a bunch of 90s lines back in the day, Swamp Thing and Sgt. Savage was really fun, but I'm grasping for one I wish I had picked up.

The 90's had some great toys. We started collecting the amazing Toy Biz Spider-Man & X-Men lines in the mid-90s. Soon after, the exciting GI Joe 12' figures and the jaw dropping McFarlane Spawn figures, mobiles & playsets. And we rounded out the decade with the terrific Sideshow Universal Monsters 8" figures, which ushered us into the next century that saw the launch of their fabulous 12" cloth-figure line as well as the super 21st Century Ultimate Soldier 12" line. I referred to those fantastic 12" figure lines of that period as "Mego-Plus".

My biggest regret was not buying some of the GI Joe & Ultimate Soldier vehicles...man they were awesome!

I have a few of the Vortex toys. I always thought Super Naturals were nifty(the hologram figures) that i never got. A little regret that I never bought the LJN WWF wrestlers.

Ooooo!
I forgot about Swamp Thing. I saw them on the pegs but all my extra cash was going to buy my son Ninja Turtles and later wrestling figures. As well as filling my daughter's Polly Pocket addiction

I saw Swamp Thing as a sort of line-extension of Super Powers, I'm glad I collected. it.

I have the Snare-Arm Swamp Thing and Arcane, but I wish I got the rest at the time. They did have a neat Super Powers vibe to them. That Swampy fits in perfectly, and for years was believed to have been an SP prototype that got reused.
