Echoes of the Multiverse

Jumping over GUTS and Strawberry Shortcake, since I didn't really have much to do with either growing up. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Pp74T9b4Z40/hqdefault.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a1/61/ec/a161ec3a600bdc28e7a681142ab0f9b6.jpg RAINBOW BRITE: [/u] Created By: Hallmark Cards Era: 1984-today (sort...

I consider myself a pretty big 80s toy/cartoon aficionado, but I hadn't heard of these guys until Linkara d...

If I remember right, Junkyard had the same VA as Donatello from the 80s TMNT series, and I distinctly remember one incident where he's being pursued by some kind of hover robot/vehicle. Junkyard yells out "A tree! I need a tree!" Then he looks at the camera and says, "No, it's not wha...

One thing that's weird about the Barnyard Commandos is... why SHEEP AND PIGS? Like, you coulda had roosters, cattle, horses, etc.- there was a lot of room for variation instead of just two types of animal with modifications on them. I guess that could be a planned "Third Series" or whatev...

As a kid I know we owned the pizza slice and fry guy toys, but that was about it. I think part of the problem was, as Jab menti...

Hey, some builds I can comment on! I was born right on 1980, so I was around 3 or 4 when 80s shows and toys started picking up steam. I collected the heck of He-Man, G.I. Joe, the Transformers, the Real Ghostbusters, but had a smattering of pretty much everything from COPS to the Spiral Zone. One th...

As with most things, DBZ Abridged's take on the Cooler movie was entertaining and an improvement. At the very least it was a lot of fun.

Nite Owl II

The Olympian Club is definitely a fun concept, kind of reminding me of the System Lords from Stargate if they were a functional family of mercenaries (ala the Farscape crew / MCU Guardians of the Galaxy) instead of . . . well . . . a bunch of dysfunctional Evil Overlords.
