5 More Forgotten Toys of The 1980s

Cptn. Power show was surprisingly deep and dark, loved my Dredd throne lol.

I remember getting a pair of 'Hit Stix" for Christmas around 88/89. The gimmick was that they had a little amplifier and you were supposed to be able to play them in the air. It was impossible to not miss a beat! I also remember the Pogo Ball being fun occasionally.

Always Great Content? Thank you for the 80' upload! 👍🏻🇺🇲

My sister and I had Monster Maker and fashion plate. We had endless fun swapping plates with each other and make really crazy creations. The planes didn't fit into each other set but we made do. They need to bring that back

There are so many more wonderful forgotten toys from my childhood: Sectaurs, Crystar, Chubbles, Dungeons & Dragons action figures, Wrist Racers, Stomper 4x4, Blackstar, Penny Racers, Key Cars, Tyco Cliffhangers, Creepy Crawlers, thanks for the nostalgia

I Remember all of them, had some of them and still have a few. I have one Starriors and a couple Captain Power toys.

I had a ton of Construx. I got them for Christmas & my birthday multiple years. My friends & I had so much fun building our own stuff. Most of my Construx survived & my 2 sons played with them too.

I had the mighty men and monsters toy. It was actually really good for someone who couldn't draw squat. The first thing to do was learn how to follow the lines with the crayon so you got only the outlines on the paper and not a fuzzy blob. After a while I gave it to a friend of mine who was even more interested in drawing comics. He loved it to death..

Im overly nostalgic as it is but some of your videos double it lol we really didn't know how good we actually had it

Gosh I love zoids so much.

I was 100% all in on Captain Power. My parents hated the line, but I scrimped and saved to buy the relatively expensive ships/playsets myself. I also had a huge pile of Construx, which, for some reason, I used exclusively to build buildings for my Super Friends to destroy. The only toys carried by the hardware store my Dad hung out in were the Starriors, so I had a huge chunk of that line (and I loved them). I had a weird version of the Mighty Men toy. Mine was called "Little Van Go", and instead of creating monsters or superheroes, you assembled the plates to make pictures of custom vans. It was super weird, and I have no idea where it came from, meaning it was probably a hand-me-down from an older cousin. I spent hours making low-resolution images of 70's conversion vans.

Being from the UK, I wasn't familiar with the majority of these toys but still enjoyed watching :-) Everyday is a school day!

Starriors and Captain Power….nice. Still have some of the toys. Spinjas I always wanted to get but by the time I found out about them they hadn’t been available for years. 😢 This at least explains why Mega Bloks turned into Mega Construx. I don’t remember that line yet I feel I should since it was right around my childhood….interesting.

I remember Starriors Wastors. I love how you get to wind up and activate their lasers, saw blades, screws, etc. It's a shame it didn't last long because of the Go Bots and Transformers line. I also didn't know it was based on a Japanese toy line called Zoids.

Monster Maker was the best toy ever! Thousands of sheets of paper as I tried to find the perfect combinations.

Monster maker I never got me into drawing but remembered it from when I took an archeology class in high school. My private school I attended had that class and the teacher used the monster maker as a hands-on approach on learning how to stone rub.

I LOVED Construx!

"Starriors" is what I came here hoping to find! Could not remember that name!

I had so many Construx, forgot all about Monster Maker. Thank you for uploading this! Also had a pile of Gobots, bunch of Starriors, good times.

I owned 2 Starriors figures, both long gone, and still have my 2 Spinjas sets. And they still work!
