                In this order
                1. Jem by hasbro, I bet no one seen that coming!

                2. Ideal's Super Queens/Comic Heroine dolls.

                3. 12" Wonder Woman series by Mego. If only I could find the outfits and playset one day!

                4. WGSH Mego 8 and 12 Inches

                5. Dinah-mite by mego.

                6. Darci by Kenner, very similar to Jem dolls.

                7. Dusty by Kenner.

                8. The scout figures by kenner. I have never collected them but I really liked them as a kid.

                9. 12" original star wars figures.

                10. Barbie, 70s are the ones I like best but some 80s dolls are cool in a cheap sort of way.

                other lines I have always loved too

                super powers

                Captain action!

                    Earth 2 Chris pretty much nailed it. If I sat down and thought about it for a while, I'd come up with the exact same list.

                    But my own guilty pleasure list? THAT would be totally strange.

                    1. Jakks Classic WWE line (love them)
                    2. Star Trek Art Asylum line
                    3. Dick Tracy Playmates (ugly, but I love em' too!)
                    4. Bionic Six
                    5. M.A.S.K.
                    6. Mego
                    7. Robin Hood (Kenner...god, what crap...but again...LOVE EM!)
                    8. SOMA's Ninjas
                    9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
                    10. Silverhawks

                    Crappy pics, but personal.

                          1. Kenner's Star Wars (the original line)
                          2. Hasbro's G.I. Joe (the original 12" line)
                          3. Megos (8" lines)
                          4. Marx's Johnny West (and all of those Marx 12" figures)
                          5. Mego's Micronauts
                          6. Hasbro's G.I. Joe (the 3 3/4" line)
                          7. Mattel's Masters of the Universe
                          8. Remco's AWA Wrestling
                          9. Playmates' Star Trek (Playmates--I didn't purchase/collect this line but they looked amazing and were probably a favorite toy for many Trekkers)
                          10. Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars (the modern line from 1996-7 to today--again, I don't collect this line but they look much better than the originals and all of those figures! Amazing!)

                          I considered Kenner's Super Powers and Toy Biz's Marvel lines due to the great selection of Super-Heroes but the only slot that I could have changed out would be 10 or 8 and in their day Remco's AWA figures were the best wrestling figures on the market. I never collected MOTU but I did buy them all the time for my kid brother, he loved them.
