Darren, how can I forget Zoids? Those little rubber bolts that fastened the joints got everywhere! Even now, over 20 years later, they turn up in the most unlikely of places.
My 2 faves were Giant ZRX & Redhorn the Terrible. The little wind up ones were fun too.

great to see someone remember these.


can these be bought anywhere.
i think there was a cartoon of these.

I got the Roland Rat toy for christmas one year. Thought it was before '85 but I could be wrong.

Re: Old Catalogue toy pages

those masters of the universe toys look great.
sadly i never got grayskull or snake mountain.

does anyone remember zoids.

you had to build them.

I had castle greyskull, but never got snake mountain for my poor Skeletor figure. Did anyone here notice how He-man's and Skeletor's swords joined together back to back to make one sword? I never found out the significance of that and certainly cannot recall any episode where the two swords were joined!

Here are some scans from the Autumn 1985 Argos catalogue - I had the A-Team camp set.(The Ewok vilage in the second post might look familiar if you look at the Robin Hood post!)

Re: Old Catalogue toy pages

I've got the Autumn 1985 catalogue, as well as a few Christmas ones from around the late 80s. But I'd love to see more scans from Argos catalogues from the mid-80s and early '90s - I'm sure I remember one with a Bendy Bully in it, as well as a Marvel tower playset with figures of Wolverine, Magneto and Spider-Man.

Re: Old Catalogue toy pages

Yes, the scans are from a catalogue I actually have, and I've got Ecto-500 (along with loads of other Ghostbusters toys), plus some of the Turtles figures and the Party Wagon and the Simpsons figures (except Bartman).

wow that is just wonderful that you still actually have that catalogue.

I love reminiscing about old toy's Darren, but no I no longer buy doll's, my daughters a Tomboy and would run a mile if I gave her a doll!

Oh no Huggie! One of my biggest sadnesses is that I didn't have a daughter to buy girlie things for

My eldest son had some of these toys, the Ghostbusters Ecto 500 vehicle, Batmobile, Batwing and the four Ninja Turtle small figures.
