Thread: Mighty Men and Monster Maker

  1. #1

    Mighty Men and Monster Maker

    The greatest toy ever invented...



    And here is a really cool link to an awesome blog written about this incredible toy that a generation of kids remembers even if they haven't thought of it in decades.

    Interesting fact: The late-great Dave Stevens did the concept art for it!!

    I got the G.I. Joe one back in the day. God, it had to be Christmas '91 or '92. Probably the same year I got the G.I. Joe Headquarters and my Super Nintendo. Man, I was spoiled rotten...

    holy shit. You have filled me with nostalgia, for I had one of those bad boys and didn't remember it at all until now.

    Every time I see this thread's title on the front page I think it says "Movie Maker" and I get a little sad.
