Which movie/tv action figures did you own? (film, vhs, Orlando Bloom)

[Herbie]

I owned all of The Planet of The Apes figures.
GI Joe
Winnie The Pooh (stuffed)
Star Wars (original)


P.S. How many of you out there had Charlie Brown sheets?

Wow--original Star Wars. I don't have any of those.
But I do have an Iron Giant action figure.
It came with the VHS movie.

This is a little past my time, but I did ask Santa for Captain Jack Sparrow -- at 18" tall, he is a bit big for an action figure, though, isn't he? He talks, came with accessories, and looks stunning on my bookcase. Santa also brought my daughter Orlando Bloom as the character he played in the film, The Lord of the Rings several years back.

I also gave my nephew Harry Potter to go along with his collection of the books. Now that I think about it, I have quite a few Harry Potter figures -- Harry on his broom chasing the Snitch, done as a great mobile, and a few other figures. Oh, and I do have Buzz Lightyear.

My husband gets Curious George figures and books and toys. His own name is George, and the book actually came out the very year he was born.

Any other action figures I have probably came in Kids' Meals from different places, and they'd still be in the original bag. We just save them for some odd reason, the biggest being I am still just a big kid, myself.

Steve Austin, the 6 million $ man and the dude whose face you could change. You could also shoot parts of his arms off.
Dunno if Big Jim and Doctor Steel are movie or TV characters but I owned them too.
And of course Star Wars figures with the Millennium Falcon.

Funny how some things run through your mind, regardless of how silly or serious those things might be.

I realized I had overlooked some things -- a plastic Lucy figure, about 12" tall, from the Peanuts gang. My sisters gave her to me because, as they said, I was just like her -- a "bossy know-it-all." I still don't quite know how to take that, but I loved Peanuts, so it was OK having the figure/doll. I also had a wind-up Snoopy who never did work quite right, he was supposed to move, with his ears mimicking that wound-up, happy mode of his.

From my own Father's childhood, I have a Dopey figure from Snow White, which he saw as a child, and just loved the character. I also have his little BIG book of the story, and perhaps a few others -- if you have any clue what I am describing here.

I also have a Gumby and Pokey I think I got when I was in college. I used to just roll on the floor, laughing, at the SNL skit with the characters. I also have an Oh, no! Mr. Bill figure.

I like such silly things. Maybe one day my grandchildren or great-grandchildren, given I have any, can sell the things in exchange for a college education? Anything less, I'd view as a travesty.

I had GI Joe, I used him when I played with my Barbies, he was more COOL then Ken.

I also had the Bionic Woman

Terminator 2 - Robert Patrick
X-Files - Robert Patrick
Ladder 49 - Robert Partrick, John Travolta, Joaquin Phoenix

But, there's no pattern here.
