12 Forgotten 80s Toys DEEP CUTS | Unusual 80s Toys You PROBABLY MISSED from Your Favorite Toylines

[@brewtaleats6555]

Your page is such a gem for us who were the right age to enjoy all of the amazing toys the 80’s had to offer. Seeing the Power Lords and Beast Machines unlocked memories of toys that I completely forgot I’d owned

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That is perfect. I love hearing that, and that is the intent. My page might not always be about toys...but who am I kidding, they made it great, lol.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

There was a movie from the 80's that had a protagonist that was attached to a tank in a very similar fashion to those "Beast Machines". It was called " Elimanators" from 1986.

[@gerdmatt7]

"Stuff that's up my alley. And I hope it's...up yours." I see what you did there. Great video!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Thank you...and yeah, that's a little of my style/sense of humor. Don't want to be boring.

[@JLvatron]

The Omnibots were originally available through the offer packed with the toys, and you needed 3 robot points. I didn’t have many Transformers toys, but luckily Kelloggs cereal later had the same offer, with robot points from the cereal boxes, and no added payment. Since we always had cereal, I got Camshaft and Overdrive from the mail away.

[@marieandtheghostmonkey7393]

Really brings back some long forgotten memories. Nothing was like the 1980s when it comes to marketing toys to kids. Never came close to owning everything but I did have transformers, GIJoe, Voltron and he-man before my childhood ended and I got interested in girls.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Yeah, how could we own them all...although I did see some kids try. There was such a great diverse array of options, and I loved most of them. Thanks for watching.

[@asdf9890]

I remember the magic of finally saving enough allowance (or begging mom/grandpa) and going to KMart to get that Transformer I had been yearning for. Getting home, opening the box, carefully applying the stickers. Great nostalgic memories! I remember looking for the Dinobot Swoop for months and finally finding one left at a store one day. I always wanted Voltron toys but spent most of my energy on G1 Transformers. Had a few Joes and Starwars figures.

[@asdf9890]

I had the red Omnibot Transformer, and the silver one I think. My buddy was into MASK, those were really cool toys! I stuck with focusing my allowance on more Transformers though. I don’t remember some of these at all though. So lucky to have grown up in an awesome decade for kids, and then became a teen in the early 90s and experienced the whole Grunge phase! Great times! 😊

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Sounds like you had one of the great GEN Xperiences. Thanks for sharing as it aligns with all the incredible times found in that generation.

[@IntergalacticDustBunny]

I've still got my complete set of Wendy's Gobots. More of my Gobots seemed to survive my childhood than my Transformers. I still have several of them, along with the command center.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

WOW, that is actually awesome. NIce thing to hold on to. Thanks for the comment.

Brother you just took me back because I was lucky enough to have all three Omnibots and they were absolutely amazing!!!! These guys should have definitely received some Legacy rebirth!!!!

I loved the Power Lords, but they were gone so fast we never got any. You are right that production costs probably killed them. The articulation and originality was crazy! And the action features were completely insane!

There was a shop in my town (England) that sold different things and they always had interesting toys that weren't sold elsewhere locally. From the Power Lords line I had Adam Power, Arkus and two Beast Machines, Thrash and Warbot.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

MASK had a cool factor that is hard to explain. I got the whole first and 2nd wave as an adult. Wish the show had gone on longer. BTW, I am thinking about getting those mini sets to add to my collection. Thanks for the comment.

[@TerrickTerran]

Some really fun choices. Laser light stuff invaded a lot of toylines including MASK. I've seen advertisements for the various Transformers, GI Joe and even My Little Pony mail-ins.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Laser light was a...BIG HIT...if you know what I mean, lol. There were so many obscure toys from those mail aways, too. I was too impatient to get those. THanks for the comment.

[@1980sforever]

I had the beam blaster set for Masters of the Universe and it could be bought in most bigger toy stores here in Denmark and I got mine from the Local Toy store. Sadly it sucked so bad,that it ended on a shelf only a few days later,It did work though and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. But all Toys with batteries that kind of plays with themselves,was always bad Toys in my mind. Masters of the Universe was massive here in Denmark and we also had the final dinosaur stuff at the end of MOTU,but those things just felt out of place in the MOTU Universe. Even the new adventures of He-man was available in most toy stores here,but that reboot never caught on.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I know how big MOTU was here, but I always heard how huge it was in your neck of the woods. Yes, some of those European nations got a few extra pieces after the US gave up on them. Thanks for sharing your stories. Loved them

[@petehobson1054]

Me and my bro had Billboard Blast, Pit Stop Catapult and The Collector (Alex Sector's toll booth). Loved MASK. I have heard that Loyal Subject is re-releasing like-for-like replicas of the brand next year!

I remember I came across the Omnibots at a place called Kook's. It was like a Big Lots type of situation so they were relatively cheap considering their size. I knew what they were so I was super excited to see them. I was a kid so when something was supposedly "only available through this offer" I figured I'd never get them. That same place also have Centurions and Inhumanoids.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That is incredible. I imagine they weren't in the standard TF boxes like regular ones. Were they in Diaclone boxes? Honestly, that store sounds awesome.

[@antonharmacinski276]

@@GENXPERIENCE They were in the plastic bags that you would have gotten if you mail ordered them. There were no tech specs or anything. Just the figure and weapons in a clear bag. Kinda like how the prizes in cereal came in back in our day. Remember getting an actual half decent toy from a cereal box? I also had some of those Wendy's Go-Bots. I remember that unlike the typical Go-Bots, there was no die cast, which really set them apart. They were good toys but I remember always feeling like they were just another "happy meal" toy at the end of the day. But back then those toys were pretty legit. We were definitely the toy spoiled generation. So much so there are tons of us still buying them LOL. (I have a few shelves of Transformers myself.)

It might have been some kind of generic monster creature or made of swamp plants or slime, all I remember was the cool red eyes mostly.

You are right about the Omnibots never being updates by the mainline franchise. I know that at least one of the 3rd party companies has started to develop them. But what about the Power Dashers from the same catalogue, or the "Time Warrior" watch? One of my school friends had the Marshal toy from Bravestarr. It looked most impressive. You may be able to help me. There is a toy-line I can remember the look of, and what they did, but I cannot remember the name of. They were friction-engine boxes which had posts and ports over them, which came with sci-fi vehicle accessories which you could mix-n-match connect them onto the boxes, like what the Centurions could do. The packaging had Star Wars-style hangers on them. Would you know the name of them?

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I am trying to remember that, as it is familiar. I will have to rack my brain, because I think I know the toyline your talking about. Oh, and I had ONE Powerdasher...so I did do one mail away (the cheap one, lol)

@@GENXPERIENCE I'm glad that it sounds familiar. I've been asking around for it, looking at sites like eBay and the like, but without the name I don't know what I'm looking for.

[@vinnycochrane5139]

I was quite surprised I’ve got some of these. It must be something to do with being in the UK - it seems a lot of the stuff considered rare in the US was a lot more accessible here. Maybe the unsellable units were just sent over to go into discount bins. I mean those two Mask sets were incredibly lame in their conception, but I was given both of them. Scottish newsagents used to be full of sad, faded Star Wars playsets in creased and battered packaging as late as 1990! Not like that any more, alas. The excitement of discovering discontinued toys at the bottom of a giant basked is long gone.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Oh, what a great comment, thank you. Yes, Europe and the relationship with US Toys has always been so fascinating. Much of what was made at the end of the toyline went to Europe often and did not even get released in the states (weird, I know).

The girl toys I can't comment on as I'm ignorant of them, never had any Masters of the Universe figures, I remember Power Lords, never had any; wasn't there a one-off, maybe a mini-series explaining the storyline? The cereal mail in for The Transformers was surprising as I have no memory of it. I do own Transformers but never are Cookie Crisp, Even as a kid, I thought cookies for breakfast ...ick.

I have asked this question of many vintage toy lovers and maybe you could help. Back in the 70s I had a purple wasp spaceship/robot. It had suction cups on its feet and a grappling hook came out of its mouth when you turned its eyes. It also had a bomb at dropped which they termed a bug bomb. I have been trying to find out what toy line this ship came from. It looked like a little bit the Galaxian graphic on the side of the video game. Nobody seems to know what this thing is. There were several spaceships to go along with it, one being a black spider. My mom bought me this from a discount store called treasure Island. I love this toy as a little girl and I would love to find a vintage one to buy. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

I'm going to look around for this today. The description doesn't seem like it will be hard to find, but since you haven't had any luck, I'm not sure ill fare better, lol

[@eleanorlaurent2303]

The Care Bear you randomly threw up a few times was the only familiar toy for me, but your narration and storytelling make this a worthwhile visit as always 🩷

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That was NOble Heart Horse, and his ORIGINAL toy was very rare. There is talk that it was mostly in the UK. His look varied, too...A LOT. But I was going to include since he is simply very rare. Glad you recognized him. Thank you for the kind words and visiting the channel. Hope to see you again.

My cousin had the he man t Rex and I had the triceratops. Yes I wanted the t Rex lol. Not a deep cut but still 😂

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Nice. But since they are still uncommon to the passing fan.....yes, they are a deep cut. Thanks

[@therizinosaurus214]

j.i. joe honorable mention is the Sgt. Slaughter's action figurel.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Sgt Slaughter as a deep cut? I thought he was pretty well known and available, but I could be totally wrong.

[@therizinosaurus214]

@@GENXPERIENCE He was a well known character for sure even becoming the face of J.I. Joe for a time. His figure started as a Proof of Purchase figure and even had a phone number you had to call to get part of the qualifications to order the figure. Later versions would be direct to buy catalog through various promotions. He was package with several vehicles, though I don't recall if these were sold at stores. I could never find any. I was big J.I. Joe nut when i was a kid, and Slaughter was my favorite wrestler, so it was a like a match made in heaven... Sadly I never got my hands on any figure.

hey i lived in the 80s there was this toy line of like cops or something they were huge very posable characters. very high qaulity action figures. had a cartoon too but i cant remember the name of this toy brand. any idea? edit nvm just googled it they were literally called "cops" lol

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I do remember the cartoon well. Knew they had a toyline, but I think there was a name difference between them. I love that you knew exactly what you were talking about, but thank you for sharing.

Hey I'm always waiting for someone to win the show's comments with a funny remark based on one of my video comments. I'm sure you'd have a doozy.

[@marcflores1810]

Original owner of one from 1987. Clip that attaches the top jaw is prone to wear over time. I refuse to push the tail to activate the tongue mechanism bc tongue is segmented with plastic straw material that’s also fragile, but the action feature is powerful enough to pull in any TCat or MOTU figure easily!

[@pantheonvideo]

@@GENXPERIENCE Your channel makes me feel like a kid again, an "elder millennial" whose gen-x-perience was hand-me-downs and pop culture knowledge from the older kids in my neighborhood. I think my humor developed early on as a way to fit in while hanging out with the gen-x kids.
