rock em sock em robots I think you are talking about... cobolt. Yeah - they are remaking all new versions of these toys. Except of course, they are more junky. Even the boxes for games now are junky and fall apart within a couple months.

I remember my bro had stretch armstrong. And 6 million dollar man - you could look through the bionic eye in the back of his head.

OMFG!!! Yeah....Rock em Sock em...cool. And I had a whirly bird helocopter. I'm sure my mom was wondering WTF when she asked me what I wanted for my 5th birthday and I told her "A gas station, a water tower, and a fire hydrant." I actually remember getting the gas station and the fire hydrant (the latter was purchased at a pet store). The water tower....well, they told me I could have the water tower down the street from my uncle's house in Harwood Heights.

Swatch watch...Yeah....remember those too. And socker boppers. Those were fun!

i've still got all of my heman and skeletor stuff. like the castles and everything...dozens of action figures too. of course i stored them in plastic bags so no water or dirt would get on them.
Well, I have many vehicles and figures that are complete with all the weapons.

All of my GI Joes are first wave and most are in almost perfect shape.
