Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

I'm pretty sure the Transformers pics are someone's private collection set up like a store display (notice the Ikea shelves to the right in the first pic - also that it's labeled "20th Century Toy Collector").

Still an effective point of course. The toy aisles of yore were a sight to behold.

Yeah, I just noticed that too. What threw me off on that was the idea that someone out there would have a collection like that on Store shelving with that many MISB duplicates of heavy hitters like Jetfire, Optimus, and metroplex, as well as all those G1 deluxes.

Here are some Old School Toy Aisles though:

Can anyone colorize that last one?

 

[Blot]

Ted Turner would.

When Time Travel gets invinted, Im going to the 80's and clearing out a Toys R Us and keeping things minty fresh.

That is the best that I can get with this colorize App. Still can't make out what toys are below soundwave though.

 

[Blot]

It's Skids.

It's Skids.

What is he doing in frame! Doesn't he know that he isn't supposed to get any attention! lol.

It's amazing how much like model kits GI Joe packaging looks when they're stacked like that.

Assembly required, decals, lots of detail that would look better with some extra paint. GI Joe vehicles ARE model kits.

I remember the GI Joe base that I got in 84 or 85 was a model kit that you had to assemble yourself.

I am talking about this one to be specific:

 

[Haywire]

I love that base! Got it out for Haywire3 to play with (a couple years ago, according to my phone, where does the time go?), and unfortunately some of the parts are quite brittle, but he had a blast! I think Cobra MASS-deviced in some kaiju to battle the Joes or something...

We just got a home-made Cobra Fortress from my brothers, might be time to break out the Joe base again!

I'd be up for one of those (as I mentioned in the playset thread). Looks nice.

That is so awesome! I need to find my pics of me with it Back in the day...

Here is Christmas 1984 the day we got ours. That is my Grandmother and my Brother and I playing with the GI JOE toys.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I'm sure I have good photos of the Christmas I received the Sky Striker and Dragonfly helicopter.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Yeah but after they all see action they have to come to my Christmas present.

-ZacWilliam, 4077th saw a lot of Joes till I lost all the parts.

Nice! Is that a MASH playset?

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Yup. Here's someone else's picture with the box. All 3 3/4 Joe scale.

I still have a couple of the figures:

-ZacWilliam, have a blond Hawkeye somewhere too. He was the generic "Ambulance driver"
