I just got my second Powermaster Optimus Prime. Had one in '88 and loved it, wanted one off and on for years. Just got a Japanese re-issue other day and it rocks just as hard as it did back in the day. So what was your favorite toy of all time?

An individual toy?
Well, excluding sets (Transformers Gen. One, He-Man, etc.) and videogames, I'd probably say my table hockey games.
I still have a Wayne Gretzky's NHL All-Star Hockey game with about a dozen teams, but I'm thinking of selling them for a STIGA.

Tobor.

It was a robot toy from the late 70's early 80's. It was one of those toys with the clicker remote that made him go in reverse.

I got him for Christmas and a few months later my old sister and brother had a fight in the kitchen and knocked him off the table.

Rancor.

Got the big assed Rancor thing one year for christmas (from Star Wars).

He used to eat all the hot wheels (until the voltron cars came togehter and tore off his right arm) :(

He was such a bad mothefucker too, I still have him in the closet (his arm is still held on by a rubber band)

The rubbery ones that only came in one pose of the ones that could do a trademark move?
Either way, I loved those bad boys too. lol

Man, toys are great.

My Playmobile castle set.

Then i would grab some other random toys and have huge wars with the Playmobile guys as humans, Lego guys as hobbits/little people, and Star Wars and other random figures as monsters and weird heroes or bad guys.

Also, the Rancor was badass (i never had one) but the best Star Wars toy had to be Ewok Village...

I still have a ton of them. I have my zombies around my autographed Night of the Living Dead lunchbox (signed by Kyra Schon, the little girl in the movie, who is now pretty hot).

Metroplex for Christmas when I was 10. I never fully recovered from transformers mania. They are the best toys ever made.

Since I can't afford a REAL DOLL {The Melissa Model to be exact} I guess my favorite toy would be my Nicole Sheridan Fondle My Pussy Fuck Vagina that massages my LO WANG while lubed up with Astroglide on those nights teh wife is having the monthly visitor.

...runner up would be my ATM-09-STTC "Scopedog" Turbo Custom VOTOMS model that Takara released back in 1985 when the one part OVA of "Unknown Red Shoulder" was initially released on VHS by Toshiba-EMI.

EDIT: *Oh yeah, and I still have this shitty toy called a POWER LORD that is kind of cool. From Wonder Bread white boy in a gay ass orange jump suit, to Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner Muscle bound blue man with vericose veins popping out all over the place. This bastid used to beat up my Captain Power action figure and a few other shitty toys.

Back in teh 80's? That would be a tie between my original Optimus Prime and my Jetfire transformers. Man I loved that Jetfire, I did notice the similarities between him and the veritechs from Robotech though.

Aside from those, I had a superdeformed Macross Valkyrie toy that was fully transformable into all three modes. I believe mine was Maxamillian's Valkyrie, and I think I got it at KB Toys way back in the day. They're quite rare nowadays.
