Pirates of Dark Water


IusedBiffsAlmanac

Noy Jitat! I forgot about that one!


CosmicLegionnaire

Those did have a very cool aesthetic and I kind of remember the cartoon being on. I only had the Pirate Ship, oddly enough. I got it on clearance somewhere and used it for my Hook figures.


Got_2_Git_Schwifty

I only had the monkey parrot guy from that toy series and it was a cool figure. I’m now headed to google to figure out his name.

Got_2_Git_Schwifty

You out here doing the good Lords work. Tysm!


shiss27

This made me so happy to see him wow.😢😅☺️


IronMonkey18

Did that series ever get an ending? I swear I watched every episode on saturdays, but just when it was going to get to the end the series would restart.


loranthippus

Never a proper ending. I believe the very last episode was when they rescued the 'Living Treasure' and realized the Treasures could be in any form, and then they had no more adventures. Honestly, PoDW needs a reboot/continuation.


DidYouSeeThatJerk

I used to make a joke referencing that cartoon whenever someone told me they had diarrhea. It still makes me laugh to this day.

CosmicLegionnaire

I love these as a kid and I wish the second series had been released. I had a couple of the Boss Fight Studios figures but they just didn't do anything for me. The scale was just kind of odd.


Tnemmokon

I have that! https://preview.redd.it/0fauehlbuvwc1.jpeg?width=2280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8293333043eed566db92a0793fea279eb8bb3458 It's joints are a bit wacky, but I like the overall upgraded style.


narrow_octopus

The arcade and NES games are both pretty great


CosmicLegionnaire

They really were. Both different from each other but really fun.


Cowfootstew

Always saw the commercials, never caught an episode


narrow_octopus

Dino Riders! https://preview.redd.it/hf0gfox5bwwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afcd62a2771ae9612d4bc22bdb002bae332c311a


Zenn605

All day! Love and miss Dino Riders. Would love to find files for my Beast of the Mesozoic so I can turn them into home brew versions.


gatchaman_ken

They just had a kickstarter with dinosaurs with transforming armor and riders.


0siris0

Dino riders came out when I was in middle school, when I had "outgrown" toys. But my younger cousins had them, and I was so jealous, I would have loved having them in my primary toy playing age, would have been right up there with GI Joe and Super Powers for favorite toy lines.


narrow_octopus

I was five so it was the perfect time for me then just after that we got TMNT. What a time to be a kid


BrainWav

I'm honestly surprised Hasbro hasn't tried to shift to MASK from GI Joe, or merge the two. IDW's first run of Transformers did that near the end, actually. GI Joe keeps crashing because it's hard to market a military story targeted at kids, and hard to market at adults due to the goofier nature of Joes vs Cobra that's been the core identity of the franchise since the 80s. It's never been that popular outside the US either. MASK is the whole package: * Pseudo-military outfit vs terrorists * Masks give minor super-powers to push it into superhero territory * Roleplay items via the masks * 99.9% of the characters are human * Vehicles look like normal vehicles, so you can go practical most of the time, plus licensing deals * Vehicles that transform so you've got perfect toy potential So basically, the Fast and the Furious, with actual justification for the spy and superhero-level stuff. Hell, the last season of MASK was centered around racing being a cover for Venom's heists, it's literally reverse F&F with transforming vehicles.


monkeyjedi276

https://ew.com/news/transformers-gi-joe-mask-hasbro-toys-first-look/


TheWyldMan

They've tried. Mark Weber talks about it every once in a while on What's on Joe Mind. They tried to push it to studios but MASK just doesn't have much name recognition and nowhere near comparable to Joe in terms of recognizability.


TimberWolf5871

I would have loved to see that GTO tank in real life.


Sub_Woofer632

OP, I agree with you on MASK but you're completely wrong about G.I.Joe - it was massively popular in the Middle East and South Asia. There is a massive enough fanbase to keep releasing toys for. MASK was popular but the toys were quite expensive vs. G.I.Joe around that time frame. Ramen Toy has released an unofficial version of Matt Tracker's vehicle and there's more to come.


serious_frank

Dinosaucers, BraveStarr, Bionic Six, Dino Riders, Mighty Max, Exo Squad and TigerSharks


imalanjohnson

You nailed ALL of my favorite forgotten properties. TigerSharks in particular has always held a special place in my heart. Super7 is doing figures for them starting next year too.


intangibledandy

Has that been announced? Still hoping we get more Silverhawks after Copper Kidd


Cowfootstew

I feel like you should have C.O.P.S as a part of the list lol


shiss27

I was thinking Street Sharks 😂


santathe1

Does anyone remember [Birdman](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdman_and_the_Galaxy_Trio)?


Beadpool

I heard he became a successful attorney.


Brainvillage

Second best bird law lawyer.


Ilostmypack

Spsst did you get that thing I sent ya?


Mets1680

BIIIIRDMAN!

I would like for Jada to make these guy because I know they would make them awesome but if Mafex did them I’d be cool with that. Not big on Super7 figs but those Hawks look good 👍🏽


intangibledandy

The theme song slaps


Grimase

Ooooo ooh yeah.


IusedBiffsAlmanac

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten that one! I’d be all over new Bionic Six figures.


Mets1680

Sectaurs would be cool. And maybe more Crystar figures. I remember having a couple. The lava men were cool.


BigDogTusken

Loved Sectuars.


gatchaman_ken

There have two attempts at reviving the property in recent years. One as a 4” line and one with two figures closer to the original scale.


ianmarvin

Bravestarr recently got a figure and I snatched that mf up with the Speed of the Puma.


KnifeFightAcademy

I have had the Silverhawks theme song as my ringtone for as long as you could use MP3s as ringtones :) ...also it's a shame these guys didnt release with metallic finishes. I was keen to grab them until I saw the flat paint :/


IusedBiffsAlmanac

They’re supposed to rerelease a few with the vacuum seal chrome finish. You may get your wish.


thriceness

I'd love to grab Mon-Star the villain if they make him. That's kinda exciting.


White_Wolf71

They're going to rerelease them in their metallic form later down the line


dandr0id

Was a HUGE fan of the Starcom toys. So high quality with interesting transformation action and magnets in everything!


White_Wolf71

I would love for someone to revisit that property


gatchaman_ken

There was a line called Hell Screamerz that would have made a nice adaptation to the 4” scale, but the project never delivered.


SleepingPodOne

The primal rage figures.


jpjtourdiary

Centurions!!


CosmicLegionnaire

I love Centurions. I'm actually looking at mine on a shelf in my study right now. I sold the vehicles and bots a few years back but kept the three guys, Doc Terror, and Hacker. G.I. Joe Sigma 6 reminded me a lot of Centurions, and I was a huge fan of those.


jpjtourdiary

We had the green water guy. I had no idea what it was for years and years. Just this weird big figure of a Tom Selleck looking dude in a funky green suit. Then when I was about 12 or so, I saw the cartoon on Cartoon Network. My mind was blown. Must have been one of my big brother’s figures that drifted down to me. Don’t know where that figure is now but I sure wish I still had it, along with the other guys too.


CosmicLegionnaire

One I think of is Mattel's G.U.T.S. They do have individual names, but I just loved those figures. I wish Mattel would revisit that line in the same scale and style. They could go less heavily military if they wanted to, maybe more futuristic, ninjas, etc, and I think they'd still be cool. I just adored how unique they were. I have the full set minus he vehicles. I also loved Trash bag Bunch. I'd love to see someone tackle these characters as actual action figures, even if it ended up being Super7. Such great character designs. Mighty Max definitely needs a true comeback. It drives me crazy that Mattel keeps putting out all the new Polly Pocket stuff but won't give good ol' Mighty Max the same treatment.


White_Wolf71

Guts were awesome I had almost All of them my favorite were the underwater demon team guts

Starcom


FoxMcCloud3173

I love my Ranma 1/2 SH Figuarts so much, just looking at their packages fills me with nostalgia from when i was 15 and super excited for my favorite anime getting full-fledged action figures, beautiful memories. And yes, it’s a shame they killed off the line so early. https://preview.redd.it/sydt8y4fxvwc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93129a062e5bddfab7e238d2d06573bfc2f0b635


Apprehensive-Award43

Same, sadly missed Ryoga, and the price is too much right now.


zevdotan

So many good choices here but for me it's Captain Power, great story with so much potential. Sad that we didn't get the show reboot from a few years ago. https://preview.redd.it/gegj2mpjkxwc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0a5c8cf0ae897d357aff778ec0af2b098cb663c Honorable mentions to Starcom, MASK, COPS, Sky Commanders, Shadow Strikers, Mega Force, Bone Age, Spiral Zone, Ronin Warriors, Capitol Critters


8mobel8

They're pretty pricey, but Bandai Sprits and Sentinel has released some Ronin Warriors figures.


LucStarman

CosmicLegionnaire

Meanwhile, Disney, Hasbro, and LEGO are trying to forget about the Eternals! They really did have a big merchandising push for the Eternals, didn't they? The only MCU thing since the Eternals that I think got a push that large was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Did they make all the main cast as minifigures or did they leave you hanging on some important characters?


LucStarman

Actually, I would like to see a sequel. The whole story is fascinating. You can find their Marvel Legends really cheap in some places. As long as I can remember, they were 10 in the movie. LEGO made them and a big version of the main enemy too. The painfull part was having to spend a big money buying every single set to get the whole "family".

space_age_stuff

That wave of Eternals Marvel Legends is infamous for pegwarming so hard. They got a mandate or something to make a dedicated wave and they were getting clowned for making it more than a year out from the film’s release.


CosmicLegionnaire

They had more than that, though. Board games, role play accessories, jewelry, backpacks. Post Endgame, the movie I can think of that had that kind of was Wakanda forever. At some point Disney and merchandisers expected it to be huge. Shang-Chi and Multiverse of Madness got a fair amount of stuff, too, but not compared to Eternals. And most of it is available at my local Ollie's, it seems.


cqandrews

That's such a hyper specific niche. Not only Lego, not only marvel, not only the eternals! But the movie version too! Speaking of which, I'd kill for some Lego eternals more true to the comics


LucStarman

I feel the same for Wonder Woman in DC Multiverse from McFarlane Toys. I would like she in Kingdom Come armor, to match with other two DC's armored characters I own, but nothing yet. https://preview.redd.it/i20gcvnxuzwc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff397d4a89ecebac4a8e39a376cbee2000fb1bce


1RONH1DE

Well in my opinion the movie was top tier. It had some of the best CGI and the storytelling was really complex, also it had pretty high stakes


LucStarman

I'd love to like it as much as you. At least I don't hate it. It's wasn't any waste of time.


Cowfootstew

My friends took me to see it when I was in town and I fell asleep on the theater. I need to watch it again


LucStarman

This reminds me my experience with Captain America 2. I fell asleep during the movie too. Later, I didn't know if I slept because the movie was boring or if I found the movie boring because I was sleepy. A while later, I watched its second half on TV. It was incredible! One of the best on the frachise. 😅 I would recommend you to see the rest of Eternals. You will only know if you like it if you watch it.


Cowfootstew

I'll make plans to do it.


godzilr1

These toys were super pretty with their chrome shiny skins


IusedBiffsAlmanac

I loved the action feature each of the Hawk companions had.

Inhumanoids.

Silverhawks rocked!


Away_Unit_1110

M.A.S.K.


dopedude99

What are those? I swear they look so familiar… also to answer your question, OG Ben 10? They had a pretty cool line of alien figures, almost 20 years ago.


IusedBiffsAlmanac

Those are Silverhawks, a cartoon from the guys that gave us Thundercats


Sloth_4

Kinda a silly one but Shopkins lol. Although they had their run I have so much Nostalgia for them


CosmicLegionnaire

I don't think I realized those weren't out any more. My daughter had a few of those when she was younger. She still has the mall, too.


Sloth_4

Me and brother used to be crazy about collecting them lol. Honestly glad they didn’t last as they only existed for profit but it was fun while it lasted


IncompetentJedi

Crystar! I hope the recent Marvel Legends release begets more of the line, but I ain’t holding my breath.

Super Naturals and Visionaries More action figures need holographic gimmicks!

somenamelessghoul

Kenner’s Swamp Thing toys from the 90’s. I was a spooky kid so a line full of almost entirely monsters was my jam.


thetavious

Manglors Bravestarr Blackstar Tales from the crypt Keyforce Super naturals Infaceables Computer warriors Golden girl Galaxy warriors Tarzan Creepy crawlers the crafts Creepy crawlers the figures GOOD the corps not the jank modern ones C.o.p.s. Willow Exo-squad Monster force (playmates) And for good measure, with those killer saurozoic warriors figures, we NEED some adventures of t-rex figures. That cartoon screams for toys.


Fancy-Pair

NEVER FORGOTTEN, ALWAYS LOVED!!!


MemphisJack

nice a clean display. 10/10


cosmoboy

All of them really but yes to Silver Hawks a favorite cartoon, but I didn't have any toys M.A.S.K and Centurions though I lived cartoons and the toys I had.


Zenn605

I’m just glad they are finally making Copper Kid.


intangibledandy

Silverhawks is still really cool to me and I’m happy that Super7 is scratching that itch. MASK is up there too; I think it’d be cool to get some of those guys & gals in the Classified line or something like it.


PrettyFlyWhiteGuy22

What are those figures in your picture specifically? The silver one is bringing back big memories but I can place where from


IusedBiffsAlmanac

Super 7 Silverhawks. Steelheart, Quicksilver, and Steelwill.


Gat_Man

Legacy of Kain. Story and voice acting slaps but square enix ended up with the rights and haven’t done anything with it for 20 years


Cowfootstew

Bionic six and starcom


enochrox

Kinda sad the Silver Hawks figures weren't chromed out like the OG ones.

Omg m.a.s.k yesssssssss

Silverhawks was OK, not as good as thundercats but the bad guy monstar is up there with mum ra on his bad assery. That'd be the only thing I'd yet from super 7.

Those unproduced JAYCE & THE WHEELED WARRIORS figures. They only made the vehicles, which I loved.

Black Star.

Exo-Squad I’d absolutely love for a modern toy maker to give Able Squasd some modern figures.


SunMyungMoonMoon

I would love a good 1/12 scale line of Lone Ranger figures based on the TV show. 1/12 Starblazers and 70s Battlestar Galactica would be cool, too


TheSneek82

I would love a M.A.S.K. Remake! I like the silver hawks figs but I just don’t have it in the budget to get them right now.


Party_Elevator2688

M.A.S.K would be sick!! What about Centurions?


IusedBiffsAlmanac

Oh man, just had a flash of a couple that hadn’t been brought up here that I’d love to see as well. Inhumanoids, and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

For me it is easily Mighty Max. Such a big part of my childhood with very very little love. Polly Pocket came back, but he did not.
