I had a green one. I can't recall if he was a space ship or a car from the future. But I had him. Actually, I had two of them, because my brother broke him while he was playing with his Transformers.I still remember that. It's bothered me for years.
A bit possessive, are we? I used mine with my GI Joe's, they were closer in size... Transformers figures towered over the GoBots.

Oh no. No No No. There was no mingling of action figure lines. That's why he was using the GoBot without permission. He never understood that the unreasonable difference in their size was reason enough to exclude my GoBot from his Transformer play.
But he was also one of those kids that slammed his action figures into each other. That simply isn't allowed. And it was the main reason he wasn't allowed to play with my action figures. I've always subscribed to the idea that, if you can't play right, you can't play at all. You should have seen the obscene positions that my friends from high school used to leave my Star Wars figures in after they had been in my Star Wars room.

So it's safe to say that Skeletor never took on the awesome might of Optimus Prime and was soundly smacked down, in your room...
I used to have friends like that, slamming shit together, it would piss me off too. I did burn a few of my older/broken 'Joes' with a combination of nail polish remover/lighter fluid though... you know, to make the battle scenes more realistic.
LoL... they should have used your 'Joes', Star Wars figures lacked the articulated movement for that. I often left Lady J and Scarlet in compromising positions; occasionally, I'd throw in Snake Eyes for a menage.

No, Skeletor never took on the Transformers. The Transformers were my brothers. And I never played with his toys, because if I expected him not to mess with my stuff, I couldn't play with his.
I know I must have burned a few action figures, but I think they were someone else'. All my old toys went the way of the yard sale.
Yeah, Joes were more articulated than SW. But these SW figures were from teh 90's onwards, so they had articulation.
By the way, never freeze your star wars figures in water to simulate carbonite. What ever part of the toy that is sticking out of the water will change colours, permanantly.

I wasn't aware of that... all my figures were early/mid 80's. The few Star Wars figures I had (I was a GI Joe kid) only moved bi-directionally at the shoulder and hip (some heads did rotate).

Right. I had those when I was a kid too. But the ones I had in high school were modern figures, with more articulation.
The new 25th anniversary Joes kicks much ass.
OMG...look what I found.

They look bad-ass, especially Snake Eyes. I still have my original Snake Eyes, it was the only figured I rescued (took back) from my friends little bro, he is missing an arm though. I need to find a replacement.
