I had a LOT of toys growing up, but for some reason, I still remember this crazy Pulsar: Ultimate Man oif Adventure action figure, with the freaking moving lungs and pumping blood - not to mention that killer jumpsuit. :insane:

And Micronauts had to be the coolest toy ever made - well ALL had some and played with them like mad - very innovative designs and lots of different characters and vehicles - even my sisters had some.
