    Prof sounds like a bitch, tbh.

    You should have kicked your professor in the nuts.

    I had WWE wrestlers, TMNT, and my favorite Mask. The mask toys were awesome did anyone else watch that cartoon.

    Voltron, Gi joe from the eighties and one from the sixties i guess it is about 10 inches tall, Tonka trucks, Heman, thundercats, transformers, and a ton of matchbox cars. Still have a bunch of them in boxes. The boxes and figures are not in the greatest of shapes though. I do have an unopened optimus prime that my grandpa got me but my parents had already bought me one and somehow that one never got opened.

    You got that right BRF. Any kid in my neighborhood who even had a GI Joe was considered a panzy.

    The only action figure I can remember as a kid was bulletman and his silver conehead.

    Even your parents hated you so much they wanted you to kill yourself.

    Haha we have a drawer in our bathroom from my childhood that has stretch armstrong's dog in it, with a quarter of an inch layer of that stuff stuck to the bottom of the drawer with whatever else was in the drawer stuck in it too.

    We had a bunch of cars, TMNT, and some WWF wrestlers.

    I still have hundreds of star wars figures, vehicles and other stuff. I was all about getting any star wars figures I could. I've been meaning to sell it but there's so much it's overwhelming.

    i carried a six million dollar man action figure around for a couple years as a kid
