Them and Robocop were examples of adult characters that should have never been made for kids. i still have a bunch of the Alien and Predator figures from the same era, and i used to have Terminator ones, long before i was ever old enough to see any of the movies. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 13,2012 1:19pm - Yeti ""] this was a favorite of mine, before it was mercilessly thrown away along with most of my other toys. [img] |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 13,2012 3:01pm - dreadkill ""] i still have one of my favorite happy meal toys. it was similar to a transformer. it was a box of mcdonalds french fries. a head folded out of the top, the bottom dropped down and became feet, and the sides slid out to become arms. |

BEST. NON-LEGO TOY. EVER. |
