Description: SilverHawks is a carton series developed by Rankin/Bass Productions in 1986 as a space-based equivalent of their previous series, Thunder Cats. As with earlier works, the animated series was accompanied by an action figure line as well as a comic book series. The plot finds a bionic space enforcer called Commander Stargazer recruited by the SilverHawks, cybernetic heroes who fight evil. Specifically, they fight Mon*Star, an escaped alien crime boss who transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Limbo's Moonstar. Joining Mon*Star in his villainy is an intergalactic mob. The series ran for a single season of 65 episodes, and the comics and toy line didn't come out until the show was in syndication the following year.

Description: Inspired by 1/6 scale Joe figures, the Big Jim was a line of action figure toys produced from 1972 to 1986. The Big Jim line was smaller in size (closer to 10' in height compared to Joe's 12') and each figure included a push button in the back that made the character execute a karate chop action. Each figure's arms were made of a soft vinyl material that contained a mechanism that simulated bulging biceps when the elbow was bent. Big Jim was less military-oriented than the Joe line, having more of a secret agent motif, but also had a large variety of outfits and situations available including sports, space exploration, martial arts, hunting, western, camping, fishing, and photography.
Description: Monster in My Pocket was an early '90s phenomenon that blended mythology, pop horror, and playground imagination into a wildly collectible toy line. Released in 1990, the series featured small, rubber figurines depicting legendary creatures, each assigned a power level and grouped by theme. The figures were packaged blindly, encouraging trading and collecting, and their pocket-sized scale made them perfect for kids to carry anywhere. The brand quickly expanded into comics, trading cards, and video games, cementing its place as a cult favorite of the era. Its appeal lay in turning ancient myths and monsters into tangible, kid-friendly icons of fantasy and adventure.

Description: BMX began during the early '70s as kids inspired by motocross racers began racing their bicycles on dirt tracks in southern California. In 1974, the National Bicycle League formed as a BMX sanctioning organization and regular organized races began to come together. As BMX racing began to reach a fever pitch, Bob Osborn and Wizard Publications launched Bicycle Motocross Action Magazine in 1976. The new mag would quickly become known as the BMX bible, tracking the races, points, events, riders, and of course, the latest in BMX bikes and equipment. The name was changed to BMX Action in 1982 and the publication continued to run until 1989 at which point it was combined with Freestylin' Magazine to become 'Go' which ran until 1992.
Description: Battle Beasts are 2″ tall anthropomorphic animal action figures that originated in Japan in 1986 as 'Beastformers,' as an attempted spin-off of popular transforming robots at the time. When the line came to America, they were called Battle Beasts, to better reflect the 'rock, paper, scissors' game that could be played with them. These nicely detailed action figures were based on animals and equipped with body armor and a weapon. In addition, their chest armor included a heat sensitive sticker that would reveal one of three elements – fire, wood, or water. Later, an invincible symbol known as the Sunburst as be released, and became a true chase item, as having a Sunburst warrior amongst your Battle Beasts, you would never lose!
