I've never heard of them either, but that tune was catchy.

How about that ;) Gosh, I don't think I seen them before either but they looked super fun :)

I really liked Tyco, as you saw before in My Vintage I only have 1 Dino Rider & comic. My Grandpa PoPo got Me a few great model buildings by Tyco that he made for Me :( I use them for My Micro Machines that I will show in time plus a bonus coming up soon :)

Speaking of Tyco, I loved their Crash Dummies. I have a few of the figures that I will showcase once I get to the 90s so here is one commercial of them, I only have a few but I had tons of fun with them :)



I might post more of them later here ;)

It's amazing what they makes toys of sometimes, lol. I still remember most of the rap.

I was never crazy about American Gladiators and I remember seeing them figures at stores like Venture, Target & K-Mart. Mattel made them look cool however. I was a bit interested in them then but really never wanted them, I was way more interested in other figures at the time like Hasbro's WWF, Kenner's Swamp Thing and Playmates' TMNT. Really cool PB :)

Oh yes, I'm very familiar with Acclaim's controllers, they were revolutionary at the time. I had them at one point. I loved the poster with the 2 players face to face with WWF Wrestlemania on their TV in the background. It was so classic!

Interesting. I don't really remember the commercial or the controllers but I was always more focused on games than equipment.

Really? Sometimes the equipment becomes important because some games required it. It especially was crucial for SNES & Sega Geneis who I might post about later.

Ah, the first true video game IMO. I never had Coleco's Telstar but from everything I seen of it, it was a great system to play especially with friends & family. Really nice one there PB ;)
