During the basement renovation, I was able to sort a lot of my junk. Toys, games, books, music all re-boxed and re-stacked on the unfinished side of the basement. We bought a bunch of transparent bins to help me organize, and I was amused to note how things look when smashed up against the side of a clear plastic box. These, then, are those pictures.
I once had a Lego city sprawled over a regulation-size ping pong table. Today those Lego bricks fit inside two plastic bins.
Seemed like more than that when I was a kid.
I think I have a complete collection of Food Fighters toys. Beat that! This box also has a bag of Dragon Ball toys, plus all my Ninja Turtles figs.
Super-hero action figures. There's Penguin from the Legends of the Dark Knight line. The Thing from the early 90s Marvel Heroes. Animated Two-Face. Thanos from the Fantastic Four cartoon. Aquaman as the middle of a Cyclops / Invisible Woman sandwich. And, of course, Fairchild from Gen13. I think that one was a mail-order.
I would have thought I had more Star Wars stuff than this. These toys are mainly from the Power of the Force line, which, for me, lasted from the Special Edition through The Phantom Killed The Franchise Menace. This box also has my few Gundam models and Simpsons figures.
This box is mostly filled with accessories, like the Kyle Rayner Power Battery and Iceman's cheap ice sled (or was that Blizzard's?) As I packed the other figure boxes, I had to dump some guys in here, like Earthworm Jim. There's a Dexter's Lab robot right behind him. And I think the orange shape is Nova's base (like, Frankie Raye Herald Nova, not stupid helmet Spider-Man D-cast Nova).
