80s cartoons based on toylines pt 5

ok, the dungeons and dragons cartoon was not based on a toyline out right, but there were a few figures made that found their way on to the show. Over all not complex but fun, this show exiested to put a friendly face on a game that many parents found dangerous. there were so many in the religous community that felt the role playing game would lead to devil worship that the folks at tsr games had to act. the result was a kids show that was a 1/2 hour escape every sat morning...

80's cartoons based on toylines pt 4 - transformers

Transformers

Of all these cartoons i think transformers has stood the test of time best. in my own humble opinion it is because of the character of soundwave. 30 years later his voice still sounds erie and cool. who cares if he turns into a cassette walkman? transformers was always as hokey a concept as the toys were fun to play with. if you ask me the original cartoon does a better job of utilizing that concept than micheal bay does. anybody in their mid 30's - man or woman - probably watched this growing up.

80's cartoons based on toylines pt 3

the toyline C.O.P.S. didn't last long, but perhaps it was ahead of its time. an elite police force protecting Empire City? Sounds tailor made for the dubya years. politics aside this show can be fun but the villians are all dumb.. and the edward g. robinson impresion voice of main bad guy Big boss just grates on the nerves. in reality, this toyline/show was just a GI Joe rip off and kids saw right thtrough it.
