Imaginext Series 12 Clawtron: A Tribute to 1980s Adventure People

Image
Imaginext "Clawtron" figure with the original Fisher-Price Adventure People Clawtron and Firestar 1 Pilot behind him. I've been casually collecting the Fisher-Price Imaginext line since the first series of blind bag figures came out a few years ago.   As with most toys these days, distribution has been unpredictable and it's difficult to find some of these in the stores.   However, I've managed to find the majority of the figures that I like.   For the most part, I've been buying the monster related figures and the majority of the space or robot guys.   So far, I've picked up at least one figure from almost every series. Imaginext "Clawtron" flanked by the original Adventure People Clawtron and Firestar 1 figures. When series 11 came out, I picked up every figure in the series.  There were several figures that were made as tributes to old toys from the 1980s.  There's a tribute to the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures (which I've written a...

Imaginext Series 11 X-Ray Man and Dog: A Tribute to 1980s Adventure People

Image
Original 1982 Adventure People X-Ray Man with modern Imaginext A-Ray Man and Dog. A few years ago, Fisher-Price began releasing blind bag figures from their popular Imaginext line.  I started collecting them Imaginext when Series 1 first came out.  Although they're distribution has been kind of random, I've managed to pick up most of the ones I've wanted.  Fisher-Price has created a lot of cool figures for this line, but there has been such a variety of themes that I'm not really interested in collecting them all.  For the most part, I'm not interested in the sports guys or some of the more mundane characters.  I pick up anything monster related and most of the space or robot guys.  With that said, I've picked up at least one figure from almost every series. When series 11 came out, I picked up every figure.  There were several figures that were made as tributes to old toys from the 1980s.  There's a tribute to the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures (whi...

Imaginext Series 11 Snakeman: A Tribute to 1980s Hasbro Battle Beasts

A few years ago, I started collecting the Imaginext blind bag figures with Series 1.  Although they're distribution has been kind of random, I've managed to pick up most of the ones I've wanted.  They've put out a lot of cool figures, but I'm not a completest when it comes to this line.  I just get figures that I like.  For the most part, I'm not interested in the sports guys or some of the more mundane characters.  I pick up anything monster related and most of the space or robot guys.  With that said, I've picked up at least one figure from almost every series. When series 11 came out, I picked up every figure.  There were several figures that were made as tributes to old toys from the 1980s.  There's a tribute to the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures (which I've written about HERE ) and a tribute to the X-Ray Man from the Fisher-Price Adventure People line. But this post is about the Snake Man figure inspired by the Triple Threat Snake from Hasbro's B...

Imaginext Series 11 Wrestlers: A Tribute to 1980s Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E. Men

2018 Imaginext Series 11 wrestlers and 1986 M.U.S.C.L.E. figures The Back of my Nestle Quick M.U.S.C.L.E. can One day around 1986, I decided to make myself a glass of chocolate milk.  When I pulled the container of Nestle Quick out of the cabinet, I saw one of the coolest toy promotions ever!  Inside each container of Quick was a little pink wrestling figure called a M.U.S.C.L.E.!  I opened the container and immediately started digging around for the toy.  It was spectacular!  Not only did this coincide with the height of my interest in wrestling, but the figure smelled like a magical combination of new-toy plastic and chocolate (and it smelled that way for the entire time I played with my little pink wrestling figures).  This was my introduction to the M.U.S.C.L.E. toys. Over the time I collected M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, I picked up a pile of the little guys.  I built two wrestling rings and made miniature event posters promoting their wrestl...
