Your #1 GOAT TOY as a kid

[Optimus Prime]

It was all about prime time 80s TV for me before Transformers, Thundercats and GI Joe took over

they so used to sell this shyt to us as kids.
that thinking they would provide this level of quality is a sore spot.
i wish kids now could experience.

*fun rant fact

voltron's main theme was done so right.
it was recorded at the actual motown recording studio.
that it is no mystery.
it is the greatest daily gateway cartoon ever made, amalgamated and syndicated for domestic television.

the epicness of this knight rider toy.
just one of the perfectly done anything you could have bought as a child.
michael knight singularly as a action figure.
is as perfect a figure as you could have ever bought.
just singularly as a purchase.
that how epic this kit was.
just made this one of the best toys..ever made.

great post.
prolific post.

we have not even got to what mr t was...
in this era either.
as mr t was the opening gateway to everything from wrasslin to cereal to tvs and movies.
mr t was as large a drawing entity across mediums.
that a black man has ever graced us ever.

Spent hours listening to music and recording songs off the radio on to blank tapes.
Used to pretend i ran my own radio station, would record myself introducing songs and even do comedy skits with my brother,

Yoooooo, I had this same ish

We used to make our own radio station, and comedy sketches on blank tapes. This thing got so much playtime.

Bout to send this picture to my cousin

This was by far the most game changing Super Soakrr.

The ones before it were put to shame, and the ones after it went overboard with the gimmicks.
