Blackstar in a way a predecessor to he-man and the motu.To bad it was short lived it would have been interesting to have a crossover.

Im going to have to look into this. I want certain figures from the transmetal era. Ratrap and Megatron were built so well back then.

They're not reissuing the old toys. They are making new versions of SOME characters. Don't get your hopes up for a bunch of Transmetals (although they did do a new Optimal Optimus a while back). And especially don't get your hopes up for any chromed parts.
But if you want the actual original figures, you're going to have to go to ebay or something.

Even Dinobot and Optimus would be fine. I remember how much high quality they were. And Megatron could squirt water. It would bring me back. Not really about hunting ebay though.

Yeah, don't expect that from the new ones. They might have better transformations or maybe better likenesses to the tv characters, but the build quality won't be as good, they'll have a ton of hollow parts, and zero extra features like squirting water or whatever.
Also, if any figures you want do come out, you'll have to be right on top of them when they do, or you'll end up having to go to ebay anyway.

Funny, I just watched the Toy Galaxy video on this show. I had no idea it existed. I remember Bravestarr and Galaxy Rangers, but never saw Star Sheriffs.

Holy crap. Now if Warner Bros. wanted to cash in on a Thundercats movie, they should have the guys that did this oversee the chi animation. That was incredible!

This was basically my favorite Thundercat figure and arguably the most expensive Mint on Card.

I'd day Slithe was my favorite toy. I think I mentioned on this forum once before that I glued some orange treasure troll hair on his head to make a Blanka custom, when SF2 first came out in the arcades, because Blanka has a tail, scales, and is obese. Ken (He-man) didn't know how to handle that, so, he started drinking heavily.

When I was 6 or 7 I had an action figure called Big Jim, adventurer and muscleman or summat. You could press the back and its arm would swing forward, there also were Big Jim Jeeps and other stuff available. I did not play with it a lot, smurfs were more my thing. 
I also bought three small Mazinger Z robots when my family and I were on holiday in Spain (Calella, Costa del Maresme) in 1980. Liked them a lot, most parts were diecast. The shop also had a large 50cm all-plastic Mazinger robot that could fire rockets from its hands. I really wanted that one but it would have cost me all my holiday pocket money so I went with the smaller ones instead. Good days.

TMNT was the last childhood toyline I collected. After that I was a teen and priorities changed. Was a killer toyline though.
