Growing up, I don't think there was a cooler toy for a guy than boglins. They were so great. I unfortunately only had a small one, but the big ones' eyes could move, which made them creepy but so cool. They came in boxes that were little cages and they had names and different personalities. I remember the one I had liked to stay up all night eating popcorn and watching scary movies, hence his massively exagerted bags under the eyes. Here is a great commercial for them:



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

I've always been a fan of toy robots. Even nowadays.

Back in the day, I got a Gundam toy, the RX-78 (I don't know how I got it), and he battled with all my other toy robots in epic battles. Good days :')

I was also a big fan of the Domino Rally sets. I never personally had one, but my friends did. My Father wouldn never buy me one when I was younger, and now they are pretty much impossible to find :-\

Im old. Anyone remember the Shogun Warriors from the 70's? You could get them in a big plastic version or smaller diecast metal version (awesome). I dont think these toys would pass modern  regulations due to all the little plastic missles and fists they would shoot out. Kids would swallow em and choke, or poke their eye out.
