The Top Ten cancelled toys of the 70s/80s

[Red Hulk]

The Logan's Run Megos are incredible,Tundarr the Barbarian would have been awesome like Werewolf mentioned even better in MOTU scale.

[MIB41]

It's funny to think KISS has anything in the top ten for merchandise NOT made. Of course they have sense put out the bendable figures. I should know. I have them!

Hmmmm....

#7 is awesome! But.... it doesn't have little townsfolk to run over.

[Bruce Banner]

The 3.75 inch Thundarr figures would have been awesome. I would have loved those.

I remember the scene in the original 'V' mini series showing that kid playing with the Visitor action figures and thinking it would be cool to have some.

[starsky]

would have loved thundarr and the monster squad!!

I am soooo looking forward to the super7 Alien series. Maybe they will pull out the Thundarr and the Lat Starfighter later on.

[Werewolf]

I would have totally collected the Thundarr toys. Remco ones in MOTU scale would have been beyond cool.

[cjefferys]

As a kid, I would have been all over those KISS bendies and the Alien figures.

As much as I enjoyed my childhood, it sometimes pains me to think of the stuff we didn't get, for whatever boring grown up decision. Sure, some of these licensed wouldn't have sold and could have forced the companies into risky financial positions but baby Brian wants his toys dammit!
Here are the top ten cancelled toy lines that I personally weep for at every occasion:
Disclaimer: There may be some figure lines not included, this probably intentional as like all of my lists, it's a little biased. I try to be fair.,

10: V LJN planned to make action figures based on the television series V but somehow it stalled and never totally happened.

Why it Hurts It may just be my teenage crush on Jane Badler and her red spandex talking but "V" is just so seriously under-serviced in merchandise, especially when you consider the impact it had.

9) Galoob The Last Starfighter line In the race to find the next Star Wars Starfighter was probably the closest to the concept (well at least when you look at stuff like Krull or Dune), the movie did good but not great at the box office (which is still a mystery to me) so Galoob chose not to go forward with these beautiful items.


Why it Hurts Not only are the figures nice but Galoob wasn't stingy with the character selection, this movie deserved these toys.
