This is more directed to the "toy" side of this, but I was just reading this topic over at
AFI, asking for the "favorite toy line of the 80s". This is pertaining only to non-licensed, company owned lines (so Star Wars, etc. isn't included), and specifically asking what your favorite was:
G.I. Joe
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Transformers
Anyways, I thought it was an interesting topic, and was curious how some here felt. It is all dependent on your personal opinions, of course, and many of us probably had some of all three - but what was your favorite?
For me, I had some of all three. I probably had the most He-Man and Joe stuff, and just a handful of Transformers (mostly smaller ones). Not that I didn't want more, I guess I just didn't get those for gifts as often. For Joes, I had mostly figures and only a couple vehicles (Killer WHALE and some smaller things) - although I always wanted more. For He-Man, I had quite a bit of things ranging from figures to both Greyskull and Snake Mountain, to things like Battle Cat and the Attack Trax. Although I enjoyed all three, I'd say Joes were probably my favorite, with He-Man a close second. Transformers were great too, but I can't say I "played" with those as much.
