Have you seen these toys? (Part 4)

We never had one but I always wanted "The Claw" (I also remember it being called "The Animal") Nothing could stop it's open maw as it climbed over gravel and made each one of us think we had the same topography in our own backyard!
Tron. Tron Legacy comes up soon in theaters but will the toys look better than these? Let's hope so.
I remember playing with these guys and whenever held to a light you could see right through them. They weren't even glow in the dark, pretty pathetic right?
Robo Force. As kids we had the last 3 on this row and we played the heck outta these bad boys! Their bottoms were made of a plastic rubber but they weren't suction cups like they look like in the picture. Their arms wen up and down and could stretch out a little, but that was it as far as moves went.

How in the world someone got us to think these toys were cool is amazing. They do absolutely nothing and yet we couldn't live without them as a kid!
Muscles. Oh yes, this is something I STILL wouldn't mind having with me today. These one piece plastic fellows were amazing!! The made plenty of them too in different colors as well. Still a hot collectible on the internet it would cost a couple hundred dollars to have a complete set... it'd be worth every penny!!
C-ya tomorrow with more!

Dude keep em coming. You're reminding me off all the great and crappy toys we had as kids that I HAVE to get Drew! Have you seen what kids today have? *shudder* It's only the best for my son, and the best means the '80s. lol

Do you remember which comics you got with each of your Robo Forcers?
