    The fact that Jem and the Holograms chose to make a pink llama their mascot is one of the most 1980s things ever.

    I remember as a kid doing a mail away for Boba Fett and then Cobra Commander and Duke the anticipation running to the mail box everyday hoping for it to come and when it did 4 to 6 weeks later you thought you won the lottery, good times.

    Its crazy to think that some of these give aways were so fly by night that the companies sometimes have no record or barely a record of them like the toy formerly known as wonderbread he-man. That's gotta be one of the biggest toy mysteries solved ever.

    Neon colors were on everything back then, "neon green, pink, blue, yellow," Neon pink was also called hot pink. I never heard it be called 90s pink before. I bought a neon pink zippo recently and my friends treated me like I bought a girly lighter.

    Great toy history lesson! The only mail aways I remember getting were Disney PVC figurines from Kellog cereal boxes. Rescue Rangers, and Ducktails. I still have my Gizmoduck, the rest are lost to time. Also subscribed to Star Wars Insider magazine and used to order exlusive toys through that with my mom, but I think that was pretty much just mail order, not some promotion. Memories!

    In the 90's Fruit Loops did a mail away for a Han Solo Stormtrooper. I did it but that 6-8 weeks came and went, then this little white box showed up, it was awesome. AND THEN... there was a 3 pack, Han/Luke/Chewy. Lol

    That was a fun episode. I remember getting both Dengar and the Emperor mail-order from Palitoy. There was another mail-away where you got a little box of star wars accessories. A grappling hook, oxygen masks, back packs. Very cool mail days! The other one I remember were Ghostbusters puffy glow stickers from a crisp promotion

    I'd like to see mail away exculsives return. I see current toy companies make exclusives for cons claiming they are a thank you to the fans of the line. When in truth they usually are more a punishment for the fans between people not being able to go to the con and then having to pay through the nose to buy them in the resale market. I know sometimes they make enough for some to be available on their website. But that limits them again. I'd much rather do mail away stuff like this. But I really don't think we'll ever see them again. Oh well, thanks for the memories dude.

    I mailed away for the LGN Sergeant Slaughter figure and received it. I was so stoked. For some reason I had 40% of my G.I. Joe still left over from when I was a kid. When i started collecting again. He was gone and sold off at yard sales from my childhood collection. I was very bummed. I have two Steel Brigade Variants in my collection.

    I think it'd be cool if you did the toy history on the toy rejects as part of your toy history. Almost like the kind of toys that really didn't get a chance to make it as big as some of the bigger toys did like TM and t and stuff like that. Almost like the toys that went straight to the bargain bins. Or if you could just make a straight up toy history on the bargain bin itself. That'll be cool Amber. All the toys lost to history there. That'll be cool course. That'd be a big, huge one, never mind. That might not be the best way to go about this😅

    I'll be truly honest the only mail away that I truly think I liked of these ones even though it's kind of like not much is the mighty Max. I I just had a thing for the mighty Max. Kind of stuff bib fortuna was even cool. Everything else I don't think I would have really gotten into because it wasn't my kind of tea

    I wish we had mail away figure type of deals in my country when I was a kid, such a great marketing gimmick.

    Dude the only time I actually bought enough of one line and patient enough to save the upcs' was in like 95ish, I was 15, and if you had like 3 or 4 alien or predator toys u could send in for a "special" predator toy. I remember daydreaming about what the fuck he would look like because the ones they had out we're kinda badass. Well when I got it he was a clear plastic like he was invisible predator, he was sick as fuck.lol.
    He came with like a chest plate, mask, and wrist blade things that were all bright crome like just like the guy has on the thumbnail to this video. Idk I just thought he was super effen cool so I thought I would grace you all with his story😁🤣
