Wayback Wednesday will (hopefully) be a weekly feature on those obscure toys and toylines of the 80’s and early 90’s. I hope to do my small part in helping these under-appreciated toys from being lost to obscurity while also reliving a few parts of my childhood.
So to kick-start things off we have McDonalds attempt to ride the transforming-robot-bandwagon with their Happy Meal pack-in, THECHANGEABLES!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share some quick pics of Jazware’s Sonic the Hedgehog action figures.
They’ve been steadily releasing some of Sonic’s supporting cast lately, and so I figured I’d do a group shot to show how far they’ve come. However, I’m still missing Amy, and I haven’t picked up any of the “Super” Hedgehogs. The retail prices on these at Toys ‘R’ Us have been steadily increasing, they were $4.99 when they first came out, now they’ve ballooned to $9.99 in my local TRU! So, I don’t know how long I can support this line, which sucks because even though I’m not very familiar with the Sonic Universe, I do like the character designs and the colorfulness of the line. Just look at that pic, I feel like eating some Skittles candy!
I have been waiting for this height-corrected Sinestro for some time, and though I think TRU’s prices on their exclusive 2-packs are steep, and even though Hal Jordan has become the Wolverine of DC Universe Classics, I still picked one up.
Our Green Lantern Action Figure 2-Pack is a Toys’R’Us Exclusive! DC Universe Presents: Hal Jordan vs Thaal Sinestro! An all new 6 inch 2-pack featuring the classic match up from the world of Green Lantern!
The Green Lantern Action Figure 2-Pack features:
Hal and Sinestro Action Figures
Construct weapons (in Green and Yellow respectively!)
Exclusive classic “two-color” Power Battery
Complete your collection with this essential DC Universe Classics set. Only at Toys R Us.

I can’t tell you how psyched I am that the Four Horsemen’s Toypocalypse event is going to be held during Toy Fair this year – this will give us a chance to take pics and maybe even pick up a set of Scarabus in the black and white decoes.
