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.

"They call me Larry, I'm a dummy too..."

Amazing commercial

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!

[packerbacker180]

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

[BrandonDaCollector]

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
