Great stuff PB :)

WWF Jakks - Ah, those were cool. I have all of them in that ad, maybe one day I can showcase them :)

Acid - Yes, it was something hearing Todd, shame he was on his way out as Michael Cole & Kevin Kelly were the new guys though I thought Todd was much funner plus I was so used to him by then :roll:

WWF Titan Tron - I have that too but most of it has been misplaced. I stopped collecting them after the TT figures, I do have that Kane as well. Maybe one day I can showcase with with the rest of My Jakks :)

Yeah, opening day was so huge for Me way back when, Baseball's not what it used to be IMO :roll:

MLB Cabbage Patch Kids - I actually never knew about that, that was cute & nice and what a ball team they were :lol: :)

WWF Ice Hockey - Oh man, I saw that a long time ago then was reminded a while back and now you did it again! I never got that set but boy-o-boy, REMCO did such an unusual thing here. Amaizng they made the AWA figures and then this :shock: Check out the box art for it, IMO its one of the greatest arts for any wrestling product or any toy product ever and it was from 1990, what a time that was :o

EDIT - I forgot to say about Starting Lineup :roll: Gosh that is so classic, I don't have them guys but I do have some that I hope to showcase soon in My Vintage Action Figure topic soon. It was another great line by Kenner :batsmile: Classic stuff PB ;)

That's just such a wacky combo.

Oh indeed it is PB :? ;)

Gosh, I never knew about that baseball game much less that Roger Marris advertised one :batshock: That looked really classic, it had just about all the basics you need to make it authentic. I know $2.98 was way low and a different priceline from a different time but gosh, if we only had them prices now that we had then I mean I complain about it now how cheap things were in the 80s and 90s but look how it was decades before that in the 60s :roll: :o I bet kids were really thrilled over that game in them days and probably couldn't wait to come home from school and play it with their siblings and friends and maybe parents :) I myself probably would have at least checked it out and I'm sure I would have liked it and played it a lot even during the times before I was crazy about baseball and heck, may even now :)

Good one PB ;)

By the way, I posted My part 2 of Transformers this morning, check it out please PB :)

Wow. I never knew about that WWF hockey game. Now I feel like I need to own one. Unfortunately, it looks way too rich for my blood.

It's such a bizarre concept, like who even thinks about making something like that? I love that the two fat guys are the goalies.

This is one of the most 90's commercials I've seen. I suddenly have the urge to turn my baseball cap backwards....

So 90s, time to iron that Adidas tear away tracksuit and dust off the multicolored windbreaker.
