    Those 1980s toy designers sure had a great imagination on how to make great toys that can last for decades. Great video of the 80s spookiest figures and playset. Thumbs up.

      Except for He-Man, Scareglow is terrifying to me because his arms feel like they could break, plus figures made in Malaysia become covered in spots

    Hey Michael, love the channel. I hope someday you make a video about those X-Men figures I see on your shelf!

    As usual, great video! You rock! No love for the Power Lords line? Heavy on the spooky factor thanks to the brilliant design work of Wayne Douglas Barlowe!

    Great idea for a top list! And very nice job, Michael - a lot of laughs and great selection! :D I had quite a few Thundercats figures including Mumm-Ra, but I don't think I've ever seen that playset, looks very cool :) As for Sectaurs, I do not like spiders LOL... And Decompose looks seriously messed up (in a good way!), he reminds me of the Skeksis from the movie the Dark Crystal :) He-Man does indeed have a great selection of creepy figures and playsets, the Evil Horde baddies were always my favorite figures :D Have a great Halloween everyone!

    This is a top 10 list I've never thought of. I have a co-worker that when we work together. All he does is come up with top ten lists. "Hey buddy whats your top ten rock bands. Top ten superheroes"...etc. Fun guy to work with. LOL

    Awesome video Michael!! I love this time of year, so this way right up my alley. There sure were some amazing figures, and playsets that came out in the 80's. These were definitely the most spook-tacular! Thanks for the amazing work you do Michael! I hope you and yours have a safe, and scary Halloween!
    On a side bar..I wonder if anyone else is old enough to know what theme song Mr. Skit was singing? I won't give it away. All I'll say is Furley. That way you know I got it 😊
    Nerdmasté my brother! 🙏

    • @MichaelMercy
      @MichaelMercy  5 років тому +1

      Thanks Scott! These were awesome toys because even though they were creepy, they were still fun, quirky and charming. Haha, I'm old enough to remember the Ropers before new management took over. Have a great weekend good brother! :D

    • @SgtRoxx72

    I’ve not really had a good look at the inhumanoids, they look great! Love the ones you highlighted! I’m not sure they came out in the U.K., I can’t remember them.

    I would include Star Wars "Dagobah Action Playset" from Kenner. I never had it :(

    I only really collected MOTU from these lists. Another excellent video! Thanks for sharing, Michael.
    I had Scareglow as a kid but never realized who he actually was!
    Now I know!

    • @MichaelMercy
      @MichaelMercy  5 років тому +1

      Thanks Joe! Scareglow must have been a blast to have. Lots of figures had glow in the dark parts but not too many figures that were glow in the dark from head to toe! :D

    My mother fell into the demonic scare in the 80's. She used to hate that my dad took us to the comic book store on saturdays while he played D&D. We would sit and read comics and play with star blazer toys etc.. So Inhumanoids were not in my toy box but one of my aunts bought my brother and I the entire line of Sectaur toys. Looking back I'm betting it was in the discount bin but I didn't care. Those puppet vehicles were the coolest and I felt like the toy king for a while.Sometimes I would trade things for stuff I liked but none of my friends were lucky enough to have the Inhumanoids much less Decompose. I would have loved those but it's fun to see videos like this and look back.
    Question: Did you ever pick up any Air Raiders? My friend Bobby and I used to love that stuff when we weren't having epic G.I. Joe battles.

    • @MichaelMercy
      @MichaelMercy  5 років тому

      Nope, never collected Air Raiders. The toys didn't appeal much to me back in the day compared to other toys I couldn't afford either like Centurions or M.A.S.K. :D
