ah man, Otter is no fun. :lol:

Seriously, I'm all for it. I have plenty of material to discuss!

Otter got grumpy in his old age, eh?

Peace,

I'd love a vintage board.

By the way, was it ever suggested anywhere that Scareglow was Skeletor's ghost? Or is this just some fan-fic thing?

That info was on the toy's cardback.

And in the little included comic I believe. I loved that character. :lol:

Is it a bad sign that I'm so old that I don't consider any of the lines mentioned in this thread vintage? :lol:

How vintage can we get? :wink:

Back when I was a kid and dinosaurs roamed the earth I had marx playsets... Fort Apache, Ben Hur, Wagon Train, Revolutionary War, Moon Base, Zorro, Alamo and, of course, the army soldier sets. Hell, I remember how excited we all were when Marx actually made Germans and Japanese so we could have "real" enemy troops to fight, not just G.I.'s in a different color plastic!

I think I was around 12 when the first G.I. Joe came out - my dad had a fit about "a doll for boys."

Then came Captain Action. I was a sophmore when he showed up and I saved my money and bought him, action boy and even a silver streak along with Dr. Evil and every costume set that came out... Ordered a carrying case-headquarters from exclusive from Sears. I just wish I had all that stuff today. I could sell it and retire.

I'll talk about Major Matt Mason another time... :wink:

Marx, Captain Action, Major Matt Mason, the tin Buck Rogers guns, the Ideal JLA stuff...that's true vintage. I love all of it. :wink:

I *love* Marx toys!

I even originally wrote "...to Mego & Marx." in the forum description, but changed it because most posters would think it was talking about a different Marx.

I have a near complete set of Marx presidents packed somewhere, along with the great 6" Marvel set. I even have a full set of "Campus Cuties"!
