If so go here and let Matel know why they should re-release the M.U.S.C.L.E.

God Zo your right. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Anyone remember Big Jim with Kung Fu grip. Or the Evil Knevel (spelled wrong I imagine) action figure (they were called dolls WAY back then (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ). Or the Jim West doll! The old standard green army men of course (I had some with M1 grands and M14's none of this M16 stuff (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ). Or the original full size G.I. Joe. I had every gun for that guy for a .45 to an M14. Every dang uniform. Remember they made every kind of gadget for him you could imagine. Now that's a toy that would still hold it's own today.

Post by: Mighty1 on January 18, 2001, 12:23:00 PM: I liked the GI-Joe before he came out with Kung-fu grip or life like hair.

There was always something gay about him with that rug for hair and always in the jack off position.

Post by: Bluefish on January 18, 2001, 12:50:00 PM: For those true Baby Boomers out there, how many remember The Great Garloo (a truly hideous battery powered green troll that I thought I could use to pick up my room but it scared me too much to even look at it while I was trying to go to sleep).

Wish I had a picture of it, but it would probably still scare me.

Damn you and my little brother. He's seven years younger so most of my toys went to him. He burnt, blew up, or shot with a BB gun all my green army men. He crushed what are now $100 Hotwheels and Matchbox cars in the vice. As a matter of fact I'm going to call him and get my money! LOL!

Yes! I told my mom after she brought him home that he wasn't my brother. Now I know he's your brother. Oh thank god. I thought there was something wrong in our gene pool. LOL! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) He was always (and still does) pick, poke, and prod every damn thing he gets his hands on. I can't let him use anything I own for fear it will end up in a vice. LOL! I say "Cleve (that my brother) what the hell happend to this!" He gets a glazed look in his eye and say's "The vice was calling to me." LOL!
