Hey,
That x-entertainment.com site is a real trip down memory lane. Most of the stuff there is from the 80's, we really did dress like that and had stupid bowl haircuts.
Ah yes, the delicious 3PO's cereal, guaranteed to give you the runs if you ate too much. The box had a 'mask' you could cut out of C-3PO on the back, it was so gay.
Does anyone remember Key Cars? Like Penny Racers, only there was a spring-loaded key thing you stuck in the back of the car...squeeze the key, and the car would shoot off like a rocket. Mine was a KITT with glowing windows.
How about Wrist Racers? Mine was a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee....you literally WORE this contraption on your arm like a watch, there was a little ramp from which the car could shoot.
'Return of the Jedi' reloadable pencils? The ones with the little plastic leads you shoved in the back of the pencil to pop up a new one? In the 4th grade we used to buy those, empty out the leads, and use the pencil casing to shoot spit-wads in class.
M.U.S.C.L.E.? Those stupid little pink wrestler figures that didn't do anything?
M.A.S.K.? Gay Transformer rip-off with a cool theme song.
Robotech? Tranzor-Z? Voltron (the 5 lions AND 12 spaceships)? Battle of the Planets? SpectreMan?
