We Never Got These Important Figures!

[@stevegallo8483]

In the Kenner Star Wars line (1978-1985), who was the one character that appeared in all three movies who didn't get a figure? Wedge Antilles.

[@3Storms]

He gets one in the POTF2 line. Still, Kenner could have made more money while getting more figures out by repainting Luke X-Wing's helmet to pass it off as Wedge and other pilots.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

I'm still waiting for a figure of Fake Wedge or at least an alternate head.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

They never made the guy with the giant penis face in the 70s.

[@danieljohn7788]

I had a second X wing Luke that regularly filled in for Wedge, Red Leader, Dack, etc. lucky kid, my dad hit me w a ton of the original figs and vehicles.

[@williamwilkinson6665]

They should have made a Yori figure for the Tron figure series Also a Medusa toy would have been awesome for the Clash of the Titans line

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

Yori would have been sweet. We had three of the four. We were missing Tron for some reason. The trooper was my favorite of them.

[@mowingcowboy]

If they did make a Tarkin in the first wave it would have become the first peg warmer for Star Wars . Kids didn't play with Old Men action Figures unless they had cool jedi Powers like Ben.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

I think I got Madine on clearance. No idea why they made him.

[@jasonwilliams4456]

I didn’t even play with Ben much, he was dead. Would have been the same with Tarkin.

[@SuperJono42]

I was pissed we never got a rebel trooper

[@alexnejako777]

Buck Rogers figures broke at the middle for me 100% of the time. So I'm not upset they didn't make Hawk because then I'd have Hawk broken at the middle to go with Buck and Two broken Twikis!

I always was surprised the king and sorceress didn’t come early for masters of the universe. They came later but it wasn’t the same.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

I didn't like any of the cartoon and movie figures unless you count the Horde Trooper. I wished there was a Lizard Man though.

[@pertuk]

Apart from Tarkin the Rebel Soldier and Garindan and Dr Ervazan-I wonder what his Kenner names would have been!

[@georgetrapp6666]

Dr. Evazan, before he was dubbed Dr. Evazan, was known unofficially as Roofoo.

[@rickwj324]

The human figures in Mego's Planet of the Apes (Burke and Virdon) were from the tv series. Man, I loved that toyline as a kid.

[@Schush]

As a big fan of the Kenner Indiana Jones line, I was surprised we just never had a German/Nazi grunt action figure as a basic foot soldier. Indy in german disguise had to take his place.

[@richardlaceyfield9]

We should have gotten a Vicki Vale instead of Bob the Goon .

[@dh2006dh]

Moreover, it was so difficult to get the first Batman toys. I think they were only available in the Warner Bros Catalog. It was Queen Marlena.

[@oldschooltommyim]

Masters of the Universe toys came before the cartoon and had their own lore from the mini comics they came with, the cartoon was dumbed down and sissied up.

[@ThatJunkman]

yet there figures that are based on the cartoon in the line and the cartoon was used as ads to sell the toys

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

LMAO! The original toys & box artwork were so adult. The box art for Castle Grayskull blew me away. Then that goddam Filmation cartoon came along & turned it into baby crap like Smurfs or Snorks. I can't stand the MOTU Cartoon but unfortunately, most toy collectors are obsessed with the cartoons. The only thing that matters is the cartoon. If it didn't appear in the cartoon it doesn't exist. Utterly ridiculous!

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

​​@@sci-fi.tsunamiI like the first season, but it ruined He-Man, especially Prince Adam. The early mini-comics were sweet and still are my He-Man universe. I was disappointed in the cartoon when I was a kid but grew to like it except for Adam. I was watching it recently and the second season seems awful. I don't remember watching it, and She-Ra is awful. Black Star and Flash Gordon from Filmation were much cooler.

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

3 of my most wanted figures were S.T.A.R., Humanoid & Old B.O.B. We never got them. Years later I was devastated to learn that they actually did make them but only released them overseas.

[@kevinputry5655]

Yeah and any Humanoid figure you find in decent shape will cost you at least a few thousand bucks!

[@rickwj324]

I always used my Death Squad Commander as Tarkin. I never understood why Apollo wasn't in the Galactica toyline.

[@benrositas8068]

Here's one (several, actually): Exploding/melting head not-sees for the Raiders of the Lost Ark line! Okay, maybe the exploding heads could have just popped off when you pressed a button or something and maybe they could've somehow integrated those snap caps into it to make it sound like an exploding head. And the melting face ones could've just been, well, already like that. I'm _sure_ I wouldn't have been the only sick twisted kid that would've loved to have something like that!

[@georgetrapp6666]

I have a gripe with the more modern run of figures from the Indiana Jones movies, we got Toht in the classic run in the 80s, yet the modern, better likeness, better articulation, better accessories figures, we were denied Toht. (Of course, I custom built my own!)

[@That80sroom]

Mego made Lieutenant O'Hara doll. I wonder if there was likeness issues with some of these.

[@cyborgroxx]

We never got Tula from the Pirates Of Dark Water. And the Police Academy line was missing all sorts of characters from that cartoon. Masters Of The Universe needed more movie figures instead of only 3. And speaking of Masters Of The Universe, his moms name was Queen Marlena.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

Dark Water was an awesome cartoon. I wanted a Lizard Man figure when I was a kid. They made a Classics of him. I have the cool Classics Shokoti.

[@TheSickNeeds]

I always like the "Unreleased Peg Warmers" videos!

[@acrodave9287]

Didn't they make a Fembot for the Bionic Woman? I'm sure I heard they did.

[@kevinputry5655]

However, no Dr Rudy wells figure for the 6 Million $ Man line.

[@s1234d1]

Woodman was vice principal in the beginning of

[@mikemonk4375]

WTF would you want a He-Man’s mom action figure? So you can make her yell at Skeletor for beating up He-Man?

[@tracyrunyan3329]

There was an Oscar Goldman figure. Also, a office playset. The figure came with a mission briefcase that would "blow up". What the line needed was a Dr Rudy Wells figure with a bionic repair station. A Maximilian would have been nice too.

[@ThatJunkman]

Yes I said there was in the SMDM line

[@TS7197]

Transformers - Reflector was a semi main character that was only available via mail in GI Joe - never got a Kwinn or Billy.

[@georgetrapp6666]

For a very late run of O-ring GI Joe figures, there was a rare Jesse Kwinn figure. In the more modern, 25th Anniversary and onward, they made a Kwinn but not the outfit I preferred (I wanted Arctic version, we got tropics "Naja Hana" version) but I custom lots of figures so I made my own, converted. I made three different Billys, Cobra Scout Billy, orange shirt Billy, and teenage prosthetic leg Billy. GI Joe comics made me get a little carried away with customs, Candy Appel, Bongo the Balloon Bear (removable costume head), Soft Master, even "granny" Soft Master. My list could go on.

[@tperson8347]

I'm in total agreement with you about Alfred, I wish to Christ they would have made an Alfred figure, but I disagree that Batman Returns is just OK. Nothing against Tarkin, but I'm honestly fine with not getting a Tarkin figure in the vintage line. Did people REALLY want a Tarkin figure that badly, or are they just parroting what other people say? Sarah Connor. Thanks for the video

[@TheBatman-1989]

Batman returns is the BEST ❤

[@kevinputry5655]

Regardless of the reasons, there's Battlestar Galactica. That collection was missing a ton of major characters like Apollo, Athena, Boomer, Sheba and Boxey. And then there's the Flash Gordon figure line based on the cartoon. That line was missing Flash's girlfriend Dale Arden and there's also Prince Barin, Princess Aura and the Metalmen. Ans speaking of Buck Rogers, not only was it lame to leave out Hawk but they also should have made his spaceship. How cool was that thing!?

[@Julusnc]

We needed a Tremors movie figires.

[@futuramayeah]

they didn't do the kids from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, but they did the cowardly knight from that cartoon

[@retrogaminghippie3720]

There is a series of pvc figs based on the cartoon and was released in Europe. They repackaged some and included in their rereleased board game in the nineties.

[@kslick4048]

They released last year I think. Type d and d cartoon figures in KZbin for reviews

[@kslick4048]

They released last year they have videos of them on youtube

In The Mego The Dukes Of Hazzard line we didn't get an Enos Action Figure and in the Mego Chips line we didn't get an Artie Grossman action figure

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

The Archie Bunker's Grandson doll came with an Enos.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

I really need dolls of Reverend Jim (Lloyd) and Louie (DeVito) from Taxi and of the Three's Company characters (early seasons), but they don't make many classic TV toys.

[@jeffreycoogan09]

@That Junkman {Charo} and {Queen Marlena}. "Michael Gough" played "Alfred Pennyworth" in Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997). "Persis Khambatta" played (Ilia the Deltan navigator of the Enterprise, In "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" 1979. "Stephen Collins" played (Second in Command Willard Decker). Although they can be valuable MOC, and are highly sought after by collectors today...The 8i.nc figures from Mattel's 1976 "Welcome Back Kotter" line. Were not one of their better made action figure lines. And to my knowledge, that line did not sell too good. If Mattel were to have produced a (Mr. Woodman) figure for the line? That figure would have more then likely, required the use of a different mold. And would also have to been smaller then the other figure in the line. So, that could be the explanation as to why Mattel never made a (Mr. Woodman) figure?

[@3Storms]

The bird guy from Buck Rogers creeped me out as a kid. I don't know why. And we never got Miami Vice and Crime Story figures.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

There were MV figures eventually but they are lame except for their accessories. Crockett comes with his gator. I really wish NECA or McFarlane would make classic TV figures. I need all of Gilligan's Island and early Three's Company (including the apartment) and especially Louie (DeVito) and Reverend Jim (Lloyd) from Taxi.

I got a blast from the past when I Googled Buck Rogers figures and saw the Galaxy Laser Team/Star Patrol figurines. We had some of them, but only the crab/turtle/insect/something aliens and droids survived in our toy boxes for some reason. I loved the droid. There was a 30s Buck Rogers, and I think we had him but lost him quickly. Junkman should do a video about them. Those Kotter dolls are cool. Too bad we didn't get some for Three's Company, Taxi, Gilligan's Island, Laverne and Shirley etc. I've been playing 60s, 70s, and 80s sitcoms in the background and loving it (getting old and the current world is awful). Some of them are great. I really, really need somekind of figures of Reverend Jim (Lloyd) (who I've become with age) and Louie (DeVito) from Taxi (both hilarious). I can't even find a good Reverend Jim t-shirt or poster. I really, really need all the awesome Gilligan's Island Pops. There are Cheers (awesome series) Pops, but I only need Diane. (Woody was hilarious though.) (No Three's Company Pops??????) There was a plan to make V figures, but there only was a doll of a lizard man. They looked lame though. I have the Diana (a reptilian Servalan from Blake's 7) Pops. No idea why they made Madine but not the other named commanders (including Mothma). I think the only reason we had him was we got him on clearance. We also had the Hoth rebel commander with the 'stache and "Death Squad Commander" who was sweet and one of my favorites. 😂😂😂😂 Charo. I didn't like Love Boat and it influenced Star Trek: The NG which I didn't like much. I remember Golden Monkey. It looks bad now. I hope I can put Cobras in a Knight Rider car. I wanted one of the robot bear/dog thing figures from BSG.

[@justme4998]

i had almost all of the old star wars figures, not every single one but most of them but i never had a grand moff tarkin figure! my life has been a waste.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

When one dies, can a company make the likeness of them? I know there's a fair use on all media after 75 years, but what about likeness. So whatever toy company finally made Astronaut Taylor after Heston died, but was that free?, or did Heston's estate make a deal I wonder 🤔?

[@Skaramine]

I forgot that Gold Monkey's pilot was Deckard! Charo would have been GREAT for The Love Boat. Hawk and his ship would have rocked.

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

We did get Tarkin like way later, but in the Retro Collection and the figure was bundled with an Retro Collection version of the Escape the Death Star board game too. I did get lucky and got it on sale for $10 at Walmart though on the website a few years back. Also, with the He-Man figures there was King Randor (whose original figure is quite expensive) Prince Adam/He-Man’s father, but always thought it was weird that we didn’t get the mom, Queen Marlena, you’d think they would’ve made her and could’ve put her in a 2-pack with King Randor.
