We had a fairly significant collection of the Star Wars toys, but, for some reason, we never had a Luke.  So Luke was almost always in disguise.  Sometimes he was a stormtrooper, but usually he was the drove the AT-AT.

Fell, dare I tell the infamous Wonder Woman story?

I remember that we often wanted to be Wonder Woman, but I don't remember any specific stories. Pray tell.

Hey, who wouldn't want to be Wonder Woman? She could deflect bullets with her wrists. No man I know can do that.

I had to go with the obligatory Misfit toys one. I think Indiana Jones would have quite the time fighting off Abominable Snowmen and helping to save the misfit toys. Now there's movie/book material!

That's so sick and yet so funny, 42. Did you do that yourself?

Yes, like I said I've been kinda bored, so this is what I came up with based off of the current poll idea and book thread of combining 80's cartoons.

Man, this thread is making me realize something about my life as a fringe speculative fiction fan.  I have always been very interested in the genre and everything that goes along with it, but I was always late on the trends and never had the right friends for long enough.  I read about you guys playing Star Wars and Thundercats...the friends in my neighborhood had just moved in from Minnesota and their grandpa owned a semi, so when we played let's pretend it was pick your favorite Milwaukee Brewer and then we'd bust out the toy trucks and go truckin'.  As Brewers.  I never knew anything about the Brewers, so I picked Paul Molitor (3B, now retired) and stayed with him, I think because of his name.  It reminded me of monitor lizards and Komodo dragons.  In a wierd way it made me proud many years later when Paul had a record-breaking hitting streak.  I felt a part of it.  But I digress.  So anyways, I don't mean to whine, but I wish I had had friends that wanted play Thundercats.

I have to give some post-mother's-day thanks to my mom, though.  When I was six and we lived south of San Francisco she drove me all the way across the bay to Oakland so I could see Godzilla vs. the Monster from Planet X.  Even though nobody else we knew was aware that the movie even existed, she supported me.

Oh, and did anyone else think Cheetara was hot?  Maybe I was just at that age, but I always wondered about the group dynamics with there being only one lady-cat and the rest of them toms, so to speak.  I really don't mean to get off-color here, so it's not my fault if you go there.

And Fell, I always thought Tigra was the coolest.  I didn't like Panthro as much because he was purple.

HOnestly, I hated the cartoon. I could never sit and watch it. I would have rather sat around for Voltron or something.

Now, if we could do 80's v. 90s, we could ahve Voltron come in and teach the MMPR how to REALLY handle a giant robot...

Kije, you're welcome to play Thundercats with us any time you want. As long as I get to be Panthro, or possibly Mum-Ra.

First, shame on you.

Second, I need help.

We never played Thundercats or Starwars or GI Joe. We had our own.. erm, thing.. called "Blaster Kids." It was actually pretty impressive, for a bunch of kids... there was this wizard that gave us various save-the-world type assignments, which were invariably interrupted by hordes of goblins. Although it wasn't fantasy, if anything it was sci-fi. We even had our own ranking system.

Although we invented it about 10 years prior to the show, I suppose it was sort of like Powerangers -- though it didn't involve transforming into various gigantic robots and fighting towering Godzilla dolls. Frankly, it was much, much cooler than Powerrangers. And I don't just say that because I'm biased.

We also didn't need stupid catch phrases or pathetic colorful costumes. We figured we were cool enough already.
