Did you have any action dolls when you were younger? Like a Barbie or a soldier? Was there ever or is there a doll not in production that you would like to have?

Doll stories and ideas...

I had an 'action man' (I think that was the name) before I got a real Ken for my Barbie. He looked like a soldier, with a little gun. I didn't like him actually. He was different from a Ken because he could move his arms and legs and he was wearing plastic underwear!! Ken just had euhm, nothing there actually.
He was dumped when I got a blonde surfing Ken.

Now what does that say about your taste?

Oh my, a singing Popeye the Sailor Man! Thats almost as bad as the singing Chipmunks! I had a Teddy Ruxpin. It may have been the first storybook reading toy out at that time. It had a tape player inside and its lips would move in sync with the words.

You know how they have the baby dolls that pee? What if they made one that made poo poo also? They could call her "Lil Stinky". It would come with baby wipes and multi colored glitter poo by PlayDoh.

Now they're what I call 'action figures'

Don't tell me your Ken was more manly



You know, I think those dolls exist, or once existed. I remember seeing a commercial about those dolls. They came with wipes and diapers. The real thing!

That's messed up . Well, so much for my idea. it must not have gone over so well.

Worst. Christmas. Gift. Ever:

i have a storm action figure and a janice (from the muppet show) that live on my bookcase, and i have an andy warhol action figure that's still in his packaging that i have on my wall above my desk.

i'd love it if we got a prince action figure someday, like the jimi and janis dolls that have been released in past years.

Now wouldn't that be somethin' else eh?

BananaCologne said:

is that too much to ask?

Anxiety said:

I. WANT. ONE!!! I don't even care that it's fake. Quick! Somebody has to make one for me in their basement now! I will compensate you handsomely for having to ingest the toxic fumes that will come from making the plastics. ?

Anxiety said:

You should see the 'Lovesexy' doll!

Y'know...
For us 'big kids', they make 'Get Some' Action Dolls.
They're known as "Inflatable Date-ables".
The slogan on the backof the box'
"For this date,
"you don't need to look your best,
"just a decent pair of lungs."

BananaCologne said:

This would be cool! I'd buy them all.

Where's Prince's marketing department???

Oh. Yeah. Nevermind.

TMPletz said:

TOO FUNNY! That made me snort tea outta my nose

i have this one, still in the package!!

Oh yeah? Well, I have the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition Theater Edition Luke Skywalker still in its package!



I have a BUNCH of Star Wars and Star Trek figures still in their original packaging.

TMPletz said:

i have that one too!! but it's not in it's package anymore.

i also have a princess leia from 1977. the date is on her foot.

I also have a limited edition Jorg Sacul figure from the big Star Wars Celebration II event in Indy four years ago.


He looks strikingly similar to George Lucas.

dude, my samarai baker would totally kick jorg's ass!!


then he'd bake him a cake!

Then my Rancor would come and bite the samarai's head off and use his legs as toothpicks.

TMPletz said:

oh my god, we are so sad.

fantasyislander said:

Just wait until I finally get my office built in my house and am able to display some of the toys I have. Yes, only some. There wouldn't be room to display them all!

I had a GI Joe when I was a kid...he had some sort of velvet
for his hair and that stuff would fall out in patches. Yuck!

Revolution said:

You only had ONE G.I.JOE???

Man, between my little brother and I, we had a full army for both the JOEs and Cobra!

I loved "transformers" as a kid! We used to call them "trannies"! "Let's go to your place and play with trannies!"
