Interesting.  I take it you're a bit younger than me as this was the time the vehicles got a bit playskoolier and neon, but not yet as simplistic as they are now.  I regret stopping short of those years.  My father said that the best time to buy toys was when you were "under 12" so I stopped for a few years.

Im 28, so I was like 9 when I got those. Im not positive but I think that Cobra Rat was reissued later in almost neon-orange plastic (the original was dark red). This was around the time they started putting out the Eco-warrios shit (which I was a HUGE fan of) and yeah everything was bright neon colored motherfuckers, this bad boy was my favorite Eco-warriors vehicle:





Man that site is great, Ive been looking at it and I realized I had way more vehicles than I remembered.

I'm trying to abstain from Mojo and the inevitable fight that I feel will resurface as it returns. I would appreciate it if everyone would respect that and not give me any. Thank you.

Ugh. There was way too goddamn much Day Glo on store shelves in the early 90s.

This is going back a ways, but I loved my Big Jim camper. I received it for Christmas the year after my family spent a week camping (in a tent trailer) at Shawnee State Park in western PA.

Had some decent accessories -- folding chairs, a campfire with grill, couple of pots and pans and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

Had it for years, but finally agreed to unload it at my mom's last garage sale.

I still have my Mego Batmobile and Batcycle though! Those were both awesome as well, but camper trumps all. When the Jokermobile (which was a van with a flower that squirted water) came out, I asked for it, but didn't get it.
